A surge protector works by channeling
the extra voltage into the outlet's
grounding wire, preventing it from flowing
through the electronic devices
while at the same time allowing the normal
voltage to continue along its path.
Electrical surges can damage computer
equipment by burning its wires or
gradually
over time wearing down the device’s internal
components and
even wipe out any saved data.
Surge protectors can also protect telephone
andcable lines as these also carry electric
current. |
A surge is defined as a voltage increase
that lasts for as little as three
nanoseconds (one nanosecond is one billionth
of a second), and significant damage can be
done in that minisculeamount of time if the
voltage surge is
strong enough. |
A spike – which lasts for only one or
two nanoseconds – can also do its share
of damage, especially when several spikes
occur repeatedly over an extended period. |
Most of surge protectors use a state of
the art heavy-duty multistage design
that
combines a fast response time and a high
power handling capability.
They will
contribute to expand equipment life span and
will eliminate costly downtimes. surge
suppressors automatically reset after each
surge and are maintenance free. Under the
most severe conditions, the surge protector
will
fail short leaving your equipment fully
protected.
