What Is a Power Surge?
Potential Negative Effects of a Power Surge
Any home electronic with a microprocessor is vulnerable to power surges. Large power surges can cause a system failure while smaller surges can gradually erode your device's internal circuits, ultimately leading to device failure. It’s vital to protect your electronics from power surges to save them.
Causes of Power Surges
Using heavy-duty electrical appliances often leads to power surges. Activities like starting motors and compressors can prompt a surge. Appliances with heating elements like microwaves and clothes dryers are particularly prone to surges. Some of the other most common causes of power surges include:
- Collapsed or damaged power lines
- Problems with transformers
- Severe weather and lightning
- Excessive electricity consumption
- Improperly installed electrical wiring
