The National Electrical Manufacturers Association estimates that 60-80% of surges originate from internal sources (within a home or business). Keep your valuable electronics safe by protecting them from the surges that can damage or destroy them.
What is a power surge? A power surge is a sudden and unwanted increase in voltage that can damage, degrade or destroy electronic equipment. Surges can occur when large appliances, such as air conditioners, turn on and off. Surges can also originate from lightning.
No surge protection can handle a direct lightning strike. Disconnect sensitive electronics if you suspect a surge is coming.
Power strips and surge protectors are not the same. Not all power strips offer surge protection.
