Riding the Waves: The Importance of Surge Protection for Your Electronics
If you’re like most homeowners and business owners, you have a pretty extensive number of electronics you use on a daily—or at least routine—basis. Have you considered whether or not these electronics are properly protected? If not, it’s time for you to understand the importance of surge protectors. After all, a power surge can damage the effectiveness—or even the sheer functionality—of your electronics if they’re not protected. That can be costly, especially if you ultimately experience damage to a number of your electronics. You know you paid a lot for them, so you surely won’t want to risk having to replace them. You especially wouldn’t have to replace them all at once.
What Is Surge Protection & How Does It Work?
Surge protectors, which can also be known as surge suppressors, are devices that are designed to protect electronic devices and electronic equipment from unwanted or unexpected power surges. These surges, or “spikes,” can disrupt your electronics, as even the smallest amount of voltage increase can damage your electricity-using devices or appliances.
Surge protectors are useful in your home or business, as they’re supposed to absorb and distribute any excess electrical current away from your equipment. By doing so, it eliminates additional voltage from your circuits and provides a low resistance path for that extra current to move through. In simpler terms, the increased voltage—which can be caused by weather events, faulty wiring, power outages, or overloaded circuits—won’t impact or damage your electronics as it otherwise would if it didn’t have a safe path to be diverted toward.
