Power Surges and Spikes

It’s important to protect your homes electronics from power surges that could cause damage. An electrical surge may be caused by power outages, lightning strikes, short circuits and tripped circuit breakers.

Whatever the cause, a sudden increase in current can damage electronics that are drawing power from the surging or spiking outlet. It could even render them completely inoperable, the increase in current having damaged them beyond repair.

How Surge Protectors Help

A surge suppressor (surge protector) is a device inserted in the utility line to prevent damage to electronic equipment from voltage "spikes". A typical surge suppressor is a small box with several utility outlets, a power switch, and a 3-wire cord for plugging into a wall outlet, but there are also surge suppressors that can be hard wired into the electrical panel. A surge suppressor prevents the peak AC voltage from going above a certain threshold thus protecting your electronic devices.

Standard electrical outlets don’t have any protection against power surges and spikes.

Surge protectors use a variety of different methods to do this, but they generally boil down to a system that diverts energy over the safe threshold to a protective component in the surge protector itself. The surge protector ensures that only the normal, safe amount of electricity passes through to your devices.
