Are Power Surges and Spikes damaging your valuable electronics?

Date:2022-05-25   Click:1640  

Power surges are caused by several things:

The most common and powerful cause is lightning. 

Another way surges can be caused is by large appliances like air conditioners being turned on and off.

Dangerous effects of Power Surges and Spikes

Electrical surges can instantly overload and short out the circuit board of home/work electronics and anything else plugged into the wall, or they can damage them over time.

A spike in voltage can be harmful to appliances and electrical devices in your home and office. Increasing voltage above an appliance’s normal operating voltage can cause an arc of electrical current within the appliance, and the heat generated in the arc can cause damage to the electronic circuit boards and other important electrical components.

Repeated power surges could be the reason your electrical equipment stops working. These surges can slowly cause damage, so your computer or TV may continue to function until the electronic components finally erode and stop working. This shortens the life span of appliances and electronics meaning you have to pay and replace the device quicker than you should have.
