What is a surge protector and should I get one?

5/10/2019

10 Comments

 
The electricity that comes to our homes is still every similar to that of 50 years ago, however the machinery which consumes those currents have become increasingly more delicate and sensitive.  An electrical surge is when the voltage increases above the norm for at least 3 nanoseconds.  This heats up the wire and can ultimately burn it, or in some cases set it on fire. Any digital hardware connected when a surge occurs could potentially be burnt out or all the data wiped.  There are a variety of options on the market, make sure that you buy the one that is best for your needs.  Not all the surge protectors are the same and some of them might even be powerstrips disguised as surge protectors.  Some even come with warranties of $300,000 on  equipment.

If you have time get one. Sudden surges of power causes high electricity bills. Besides it is not good for our appliances.

IF there is no reason not to, then get one. Unless there are several factors against it stated by your personal electrician.

I think it is very critical to make some changes in the wires for safety reasons. Make sure to consult an electrical engineer this is an advise coming from land surveyors like us.

Surge protectors are designed to suppress any voltage spikes that try to come through your power supply into your computer or other electronic device. You can think of it as a wall between electricity and your computer.

Even without a storm, smaller, less noticeable power spikes can shorten the life of your devices.

I think it's a great Idea to get a surge protector, Even if you're 100% sure that your house electrical system has no problems at all there are a multitude of outside factors that may end up in a power surge and your electronics may get damaged because of it! I would like to recommend my favorite wallpaper installer in phoenix az
