Surge Protectors

It’s crazy to think that people still underestimate the benefits of having a surge protector.

Especially now with the cost of some of the electronics that people piggyback off of a power board.

So what is a Surge Protector?

Well, a surge protector is an appliance or device intended to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes in alternating current (AC) circuits. Basically, it’s a powerboard or wall adapter that will prevent your electronic devices that are plugged into it from short-circuiting. You can also get surge protectors devices that are installed into the meter box for added safety.

Surge protectors help extend the lifespan of your electronics. Power strikes and surges put your electronics at risk. Lightning strikes, power outages, grid malfunctions, and several other electrical problems cause spikes. Power surges usually happen because of issues with a power grid.

The Reason for the Power Surge?

Power surge sometimes happens when you switch on your high-powered electronic devices such as AC and refrigerator.

They require more power to switch on. To get that power supply, they sometimes trigger a spike in electric current.

A power surge can also be a result of a malfunction in your home’s electric connection. Your electric company might also accidentally trigger a spike during maintenance and repair work. A rare reason for power surge is the strike of lightning as well. Although it’s rare, it is the most fatal.
