[Amps] 240V Outlet

Explain this to the manufacturer, and see if you can get them to change their nameplate.
 
A surge suppressor is not a load. It protects a load.
 
Anything with a 20 ampere plug properly installed always requires a dedicated circuit.

Audio power amplifiers are a good example -- a big 
power amp may draw 15-18A with both channels near clip on sine waves 
or very dense audio, but operating them under those conditions would 
be VERY rare outside of a test lab. Another example is a series mode 
surge suppression rated for 20A, with a 20A plug. There are MANY 
other examples that could be cited, none of which justfiy a 
dedicated circuit for a single product ONLY because it has a 20A 
plug.
