1. I could not find any specific data with regard to the surge arresting capability of the PPP. There was no joule rating specified on PS Audio's site, or in the manual.

2. The PPP draws less than 1 amp at idle with no connected load. See my review.

3. The PPP is rated to provide a continuous 1500 watts. It is capable of deliveing three times that output on a short term basis from its capacitor banks for those momentary peaks that may exceed its continuous rating. You must always consider total connected load to any power source, but remember that amplifiers rarely draw anywhere near there full load current (not counting Class A amps) because load is dependent on output, and music has continuously variable output.

I would like to know who told you that the PPP is rated to provide 1500 continuous watts. 1500 would be fine for short peaks. Continuous duty figure about 75% of that, according to PS. If you exceed the rated load of the unit, it will simply kick out of regenerated AC mode, via the relay, and provide unregulated, unregenerated AC from your wall. Easy way to tell, if you dont hear the relay? Look at the differential THD % reading, it would be zero. Otherwise, good info presented.
