What is Power Surge Protection?
Power Surge Protection is a safety feature that safeguards electrical devices from voltage spikes or surges. It may occur due to lightning strikes, power outages, or electrical faults. These surges can damage or destroy sensitive equipment by exceeding the device’s voltage rating. Power surge protection works by redirecting or absorbing excess voltage, preventing it from reaching and damaging the device. This protection is commonly found in power strips, network equipment, and power supplies.
Certifications like EN 61000-4-5 (Surge) and UL 61010-1 can indicate that a device is designed to handle power surges and comply with safety standards. These certifications ensure that the equipment can withstand voltage spikes, keeping devices safe and reducing the risk of damage.
