Surge Protection
Surge Protection
What are Surges?
A surge is a sudden, unpredictable, powerful increase in voltage that can
damage or destroy household appliances and electronic equipment. Surge
damage can happen all at once in cases of high voltage surges or over a period
of time when lower voltage surges are experienced consistently.
How to Protect Your Home and Appliances from Voltage Surges.
Surges can occur on power, cable TV, telephone and data lines. They are
caused by many sources: lightning, the switching of utility equipment on the
electric grid, electrical accidents, heavy motor or heavy loads from a nearby
industry or locally, by microwave ovens, laser printers and copiers, air
conditioner compressor motors and even lights being turned on and off.
