The Importance of Surge Protectors

Anhui Jinli Electrical Technology Co., Ltd. is a company integrating R&D, production and sales. Since its establishment in 2006, it has 18 years of experience in producing surge protectors.

A surge protector is a unique device that protects your appliances from electrical spikes in AC circuits. Surges last for a short time and can reach up to 1,000 volts. A surge protector is usually triggered when the spike is 3 or 4 times the mains voltage. When activated, the protector transfers extra power to the earth or absorbs it and releases it as heat. This ensures that extra power doesn't get into your devices and damage them.

Who needs a surge protector (Surge Protector SPD)? Surge protectors are needed in homes and offices whenever you use electrical appliances. This means anyone who owns electrical appliances should purchase and use a surge protector. Remember, you won't notice damage from a power surge until your equipment suddenly stops working. This can be inconvenient and expensive. If you have replaced your appliances with new, modern ones, you should make sure you continue to use a surge protector. Smaller components used in current equipment are easily damaged during power spikes, and repairs can be very expensive.

Can the surge protector (Surge Protector SPD) prevent fires? Surge protectors can prevent fires. During a power surge, your electrical equipment can spark and catch fire. Using a surge protector will divert excess power and prevent sparks and electrical fires. That said, additional precautions must be taken to prevent electrical fires. These include regularly checking wiring, replacing frayed wires and cords, repairing broken equipment, and not overloading your outlets.
