Basics of electrical safety – Overvoltage protection
If you have your sensitive, expensive electrical equipment plugged directly into the wall outlet without a surge protector, you could be in trouble. Many people don’t think surge protectors are necessary because they think, “It won’t happen to me!”
Electrical outlets provide a compatible amount of power to your electronic devices to keep them running smoothly. But even a lightning strike, a problematic power grid or other electrical issue can change that.
You can choose from a variety of options
Voltage requirements for different homes vary depending on how and when they were built. A typical home should not receive a voltage higher than 10 kA. Whole-house surge protectors are available to meet a variety of voltage requirements. A professional will install the surge protector based on your home’s power needs.
Protects your electrical system
A whole house surge protector not only protects your electronic devices from sudden power surges, but also ensures the safety of your entire electrical system. When the surge originates from a faulty circuit or device, the surge protector redirects the surge to the electrical panel where it is canceled, protecting all the appliances and outlets in your home.
Protection against internal overvoltages
Surges are not only caused by lightning strikes; they are usually short and have their cause in a defective electrical device in your house. These small, comparatively weak surges do not cause major damage to your electrical system or appliances all at once. However, they can be more dangerous because they go unnoticed and can slowly and unobtrusively affect the life and efficiency of your equipment.
Eliminates the risk of electrical fires
Strong and mild surges caused by lightning, faulty equipment and faulty wiring can lead to short circuits. Avoiding these surges puts you and your family at a higher risk of injury from electrical fires.
