The surge protector is a device that protects electrical devices from getting voltage spikes and creates damages. The event where voltage spikes take 1 to 30 microseconds and can reach up to 1000 volts in a single-go. The lightning strike hits the power line can give rise of 100,000 or more volts.
The voltage spikes are generally seen in the telephones, data lines, Air Conditioner, main lines when they get direct lightning and get high voltage spikes which tend to damage the things or leads to electricity shut-down.
Uses of Surge Protector
The evolution in technology has changed the nature of things especially electrical devices used in the present days. The computers, DVD players, microwave, machines, smartphones come with their dedicated power and Fast Chargers that can handle the voltage spikes as a Surge Protector in small size is available in them internally.
The electrical items are consisting of microprocessors in the computer as one of the important parts that control the functioning is sensitive and prone to surge. This shows all these devices have surge protectors and they have a steady flow of electricity and the right amount of voltage to deal with the occurrence of voltage spikes.
