What Are Power Surges?
What Causes a Power Surge?
Power surges can occur for a variety of reasons, with one of the most common being the everyday operation of several heavy-duty devices. Large appliances such as refrigerators, HVAC systems, and clothes dryers need a significant amount of electricity to turn their compressors or motors on and off. Other possible causes of power surges include the following:
- Downed power lines
- Faulty electrical wiring
- Problems with the utility company’s equipment, including lines and transformers
- Lightning strikes, although quite rare
