It is crucial to protect your electric appliances from unexpected power surges to ensure their longevity and functionality. DANIEL ADAJI shares effective strategies to shield your appliances from power surges
Power surges can wreak havoc on your valuable electronic gadgets. Whether caused by lightning strikes, utility grid fluctuations, or sudden power restoration after an outage, these surges can lead to permanent damage.
It occurs when the flow of electricity is interrupted, then started again, or when something sends electricity flowing back into the system. Surges can range from five or 10 volts when you turn on your hair dryer to thousands of volts if lightning strikes a transformer.
A power surge happens whenever the wiring in your home or office experiences brief jolts of high electrical voltage. A power surge can be minor or severe. Even appliances or electronics that are turned off can flicker or buzz during a power surge.
