Surge Suppressors
Surge suppressors, also known as surge protectors or surge arrestors, are devices designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment from transient voltage spikes or surges. These voltage spikes can occur due to lightning strikes, switching transients, power grid fluctuations, or other electrical disturbances. Surge suppressors divert excess voltage to the ground, preventing it from reaching and damaging sensitive devices. Surge suppressors are commonly used to protect sensitive electronics, including computers, televisions, home theater systems, routers, modems, and other electronic devices.

FAQ
- What is a Surge Suppressor?
- A surge suppressor, also known as a surge protector or surge arrester, is an electronic device designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment from voltage spikes or transient surges in the power supply.
- How does a Surge Suppressor work?
- Surge suppressors divert excess voltage from transient surges away from connected equipment, redirecting it to the ground or neutral line. They use components like metal oxide varistors (MOVs) or gas discharge tubes to absorb and dissipate the surge energy.
- What are the main types of Surge Suppressors?
- Outlet Power Strips: Common for home and office use, offering multiple outlets and surge protection. Whole-House Surge Protectors: Installed at the main electrical panel to protect the entire home. Data Line Surge Protectors: Safeguard data lines like Ethernet, telephone, and coaxial cables. Surge Protection Modules: Compact devices installed directly onto equipment.
- How do I choose the right Surge Suppressor?
- Consider factors like Joule rating, clamping voltage (the voltage at which the suppressor activates), number of outlets, and specific equipment needs. Choose a surge suppressor suitable for the connected devices' power requirements.
- Are Surge Suppressors suitable for all types of electronics?
- Surge suppressors are suitable for a wide range of electronics, including computers, TVs, appliances, and more. However, sensitive equipment like medical devices might require specialized surge protection.
