Use A Surge Protector To Prevent Electrical Fires

3/10/2020 (Permalink)

Electrical fires are a real threat for both homes and businesses.  There are a number of causes that can turn your wires and extended electrical system into a fire hazard. One such cause is a power surge, which can easily start a fire.  A power surge is a spike in the electrical current which lasts a split second. It can damage appliances, and even cause a fire. Using a surge protector is a way to mitigate the risk of this happening to you.

A surge protector defends against possible voltage spikes that could damage your electronics, appliances, or equipment.  It does this by detecting a surge, and limiting the output of electrical current to your devices. It will keep the output below a safe threshold so your electronics are safe.  It will also keep the threat of an electrical fire due to a surge to a minimum.
