How Does a Power Surge Occur?
Power surges happen for lots of different reasons. In most cases, they occur because too many heavy-duty electrical devices are putting a strain on your main power source. Refrigerators, air conditioners, and dryers are just a few examples of appliances that may need more energy than your system can supply. When you use more than one of these appliances at once, they can easily cause a power surge. In addition to overloading your energy supply, power surges can also be caused by:
- Bad or aging electrical wiring
- Downed or damaged power lines
- Issues with the utility company, their transformers, or other components
- Lightning (rarely)
