WHY Surge Suppression? In Residential Homes
If a transformer box is hit or carrying lightning, from a wire, it could potentially
bring in up to 70,000 volts into your home.
Protect your whole house from potential fire, and damaged or destroyed electronics, appliances and security systems.
​
​
First Level of Protection:
​
-
The first level of surge suppression, a SPD, on your home main panel, will take the 70,000 volts, from the main power supply, down to 3,600 volts into your home.
-
Electronics are rated to handle up to 600 volts.
-
Besides computers, televisions, , security systems, and even some appliances have become very computerized and equally prone to surge damage.
-
These electronics will “fry” with 3,600 volts, and even wear down with 600 volts.
​
Second level of Protection:
​
-
A quality surge plug should be used with all electronic devices. It will take the 3,600 volts down to a safe level, resulting in no wear on your electronic devices.
-
A surge plug without the first level of protection on your home’s main panel is useless; a surge plug is not designed to handle over 3,600 volts and will fail.
