APC Surge

Be responsible and protect your electrical devices!

Use APC suregearrest - a device made for electrical overload protection. Have you ever counted how many electronic devices you have in your home or office? How many of them could you do without on a daily basis? Can you function without your phone or it’s charger? Or can you do your day to day activities without a TV, computer or Wi-Fi? What about your coffee maker? What if you are left without your refrigerator or microwave? Or if your security cameras suddenly go offline? Imagine getting out of the shower with wet hair and you find that your hair dryer is no longer working. What then?

There are devices that we can do without in our day to day lives but there are, also, some that we just simply cannot do without anymore. For example, your refrigerator, electric stove, TV, computer, phone and Wi-Fi. Can you imagine your life without these devices? It would be very uncomfortable if any of these devices suddenly stopped working. Electronic device repair is expensive and, in some cases, lead to buying an entirely new device. This, of course, causes unexpected spending which can cause financial difficulties in most families.

Why do our devices break? Maybe they have lived their full lifecycle or, maybe, they have been damaged by a sudden surge of power due to an electrical fault. How and why do sudden power surges and spikes occur? This can happen when too many electrical devices are connected to your power grid causing an overload. Also, lightning can strike at a component of the cities electrical network causing an overload in some areas. Sudden power outages can also cause spikes. Usually outages happen due to maintenance work being done on the electrical infrastructure. All of the reasons mentioned here cause sudden spikes in electricity which then deliver too much power to your devices causing an overload and damage. For instance, your computers power supply might burn out from the excess voltage, or your phone chargers, TV’s and other appliances. It is possible to protect yourself from these kinds of electrical spikes. For this very purpose, devices known as surgearrests or electrical surge overload protection devices, were created. These devices detect and neutralise any abnormalities in the electrical current that flows through it, protecting your devices.
