  • A power surge occurs when the voltage suddenly exceeds the standard 120 volts. It can cause the wiring inside your devices to overheat and burn, which can be catastrophic for complicated devices. Nowadays, most households contain many important and costly appliances and electronic gadgets such as televisions, computers, phones, and stereos, that would greatly benefit from a whole-house surge protector. Additionally, various electronic devices have circuitry or microchips that are incredibly sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Therefore, even a slight power surge can put pressure on the device, negatively impact its performance, or even destroy it.

What Causes Power Surges?


The operation of heavy-duty electrical devices is a common cause of power surges. Appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and clothes dryers require a lot of electricity to turn on and off their motors and compressors. Similarly, devices that have heating elements like toasters, electric kettles, and coffee makers can also cause overloaded circuits. When these devices are switched on and off, they can cause an uneven demand for electricity that disrupts the smooth flow of voltage in the electrical system. Power surges can also be caused by:

  • Downed power lines
  • Faulty electrical wiring
  • Problems with the utility company’s transformers, lines, or other components
  • Lightning strikes, which can increase voltage levels by millions of volts
  • If you think of surge protectors, you might imagine a power strip with various devices connected to it. Surge protectors function by transmitting electrical current from an outlet to the devices that are plugged into the strip. When the electrical flow surpasses a specific level, the surge protector automatically routes the extra electricity into metal oxide varistors (MOVs) located inside the power strip. Although power strips provide some protection against power surges, they give limited protection to devices and normally need to be replaced after one power surge.
