Surge protectors, also known as circuit breakers or surge protectors, are a popular way to safeguard your electronics in your home. These electrical outlets are designed to protect your appliances and electronics from damage when there’s an unexpected surge of power. What is a Surge? A surge is the sudden appearance of extra voltage in your home’s electricity supply. It usually happens when a large amount of electricity is used at once.
A surge can be caused by anything that increases the number of volts going through a single wire. Common things that can cause surges to include lightning strikes, power outages, and repairing broken lines by electricians or utility companies.
Another typical reason is overloading an outlet with too many devices, such as many TVs. They may damage other electronic devices connected to them.
