Nowadays most of new houses have a suitable surge arrestors inside the electrical panels at home entrance. Also most of electronic devices have their own internal protection circuits.
But in homes where electrical standards are not properly met or in renovated homes with the old designed system, it is extremely recommended to consider additional protection.
What will happened for our electrical and electronic devices after a thunderstorms, lightning or short circuits in transmission lines near our houses?! How we can avoid the repair and re procurement cost?!
All electronic and electrical equipment require an acceptable range of voltage, current and frequency. For this reason, it is sometimes necessary to place an interface between the electrical and electronic equipment and the electrical sockets (outlets), especially for sensitive and expensive equipment. In short we can say surge protection works as a filter. It protects against voltage spikes and damage caused by atmospheric interference, static charges and indirect lightning strikes.
Aside from financial issues, the safety of residents can be the most important reason for choosing the additional protection.
