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
