Few people understand the importance of using a surge protector with electronic equipment. Unless you have been victim to the damage a power surge can cause you may not understand the importance either. In this article we are going to take a look at the most common questions people ask about a Fruit Heights surge protector.

What is a power surge?

A power surge is an overflow of electricity sent through your home's wiring to a nearby outlet. It can happen under two distinct conditions. One is through an external source like an electrical storm which can send a surge through your power lines to your equipment where it will damage or destroy electronic components. The other is caused internally where a high-energy appliance requires a lot of energy to get it started and thus causes a surge to the outlet.

So what does a surge protector do?

Well, as I mentioned above it protects your electronic equipment from power surges. It acts as a semi-conductor to divert excess electrical power to a grounding wire. This can and will save you from costly replacement fees to your damaged computer, for example.
