Need a solid surge protector that’s non-current limiting.

Current limiting surge protector? I don't know of any surge protector that limits the current. Please explain what you mean.

.

I installed a whole house surge protection and it was worth every penny. It is not nearly as expensive as people think and we installed the Siemens system. 

A Type 2 SPD is the first line of defense against transient surges. Be it a near by lightning strike or a piece of equipment or appliance in the home that sends a high voltage transient surge/spike back on the branch circuit wiring to the electrical panel it is fed from. Hopefully the Type 2 SPD eliminates the high voltage transient surge/spike. In most cases it will. (Providing a good UL Listed 1449 3rd Edition  SPD was purchased and installed properly by a licensed Electrician.

The Type 3, point of use, SPD will hopefully protect equipment plugged into it that the SPD at the electrical panel may not have. If the home owner does not have a Whole House Type 2 SPD at the main electrical panel, it’s a crap shoot if a user thinks a Type 3 point of use will protect his equipment. It’s not designed to as a stand alone SPD. 

FYI, the branch circuit wiring from the main electrical service panel to the wall outlet the Type 3 SPD plugs into, must be at least 30ft in length for a Type 3 SPD to protect its’ connected load.

What is the difference between a thermal/magnetic and a mag only breaker?

What is the different between a thermal/mag breaker and a mag only motor circuit protector?

Product Line:
Molded Case Circuit Breakers

Resolution:
The thermal/mag has both thermal (for overload trip) and magnetic (for inrush/instantaneous trip) elements. This is used primarily for conductor protection. The mag only does not have thermal protection and is mainly used for motor protection.

Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breakers vs
Hydraulic Magnetic Circuit Breakers

https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/1d/1d44e2cc-1bec-4727-9dfe-63056e1a1983.pdf

SUMMARY
Thermal magnetic breakers are affected by ambient temperature
and are best used in applications where temperatures do not fluctuate
far from the reference ambient temperatures for circuit breakers,
25°C (77°F) and 40°C (104°F).

.

SUMMARY
Hydraulic magnetic circuit breakers are best used in harsh
environments where temperatures can vary widely.
