Point of Use Surge Protectors
Point of use surge protectors are essential devices designed to safeguard individual electronics from damaging power surges. These protectors are typically used in homes and offices to provide an extra layer of security for valuable appliances and equipment. At ElectricianCPT we can help you choose and install the right point of use surge protectors to protect your electronic investments.
What Are Point of Use Surge Protectors?
Point of use surge protectors, also known as plug-in surge protectors, are devices that connect directly to your electrical outlets. They protect individual appliances or clusters of electronics from voltage spikes caused by lightning, power outages, or fluctuations in the electrical grid. Understanding their function is key to maximizing your protection.
How Do They Work?
These surge protectors work by diverting excess voltage away from connected devices and into the ground. They typically contain components like metal oxide varistors (MOVs) that absorb surges, preventing them from reaching your electronics. This quick response helps ensure that your devices remain safe during unexpected power events.
