Surge Protector Services Near You
Power surges can badly damage expensive and sensitive electronics in your home, especially TVs and computers. Overvoltages can cause irreversible damage to your cherished appliances. When this happens, all you can do is replace the damaged electronics, which can be an expensive exercise.
A surge protector (or surge suppressor) protects your equipment from power surges. This means you won’t need to face the costs that come with replacing those expensive items. It’s a kind of electronic insurance and Electrician Near Me can provide it.
Different Types of Surge Protectors
Essentially there are three types of surge protectors, which are:
- Portable – These are power boards that include a surge protection device. They protect any appliances plugged into them.
- Powerpoint – Powerpoint surge protectors have to be installed by a licensed electrician. They replace standard powerpoints to provide specific protection for home offices or living rooms or anywhere there are expensive appliances.
- Main switchboard – The best option for the home is a surge protector that is installed in your main switchboard. This must be installed by a licensed electrician. Some of these kinds of surge protectors have components that you can replace without having to disconnect the power. They have an indicator that shows when overload has happened, and you need to install a new module. If the spent modules are left here, the power will still work, but devices will not be protected from damage if there is another surge.
Experts in Whole House Surge Protection
Electricity consumption is always on the rise. Australian homes are continuously running numerous electrical devices, including televisions, computers, air conditioners, portable devices and more. Essentially a whole range of sensitive electronics that can be wiped out by internal power surges.
Even if a device is in standby mode, it’s still connected to the power grid. Connected devices can be affected by power surges and power outages even when they’re not in use.
This electricity increase is known as transient voltage, but is commonly referred to as one of the following:
- Power spikes – An increase in voltage that lasts less than two nanoseconds.
- Power surges – An increase in voltage that lasts for two nanoseconds or longer, often lower voltage but far more dangerous for equipment.
The duration of a power surge means the connected appliances are overwhelmed with excessive power for longer. This can lead to significantly more damage to components in electrical devices. A power surge can burn out filaments, break circuit boards or even start fires.
That’s why surge protection is so crucial for your household. Whole house surge protection keeps your electrical system safe in the event of a direct lightning strike, downed power lines, or other massive power surge events.
