What Exactly Is A Power Surge?

In a nutshell, a power surge occurs when the current running through your wiring exceeds capacity. In minute ways, surges happen all the time. Any time you click off that hair dryer, or the air conditioner kicks off, the shut-off power generates a miniscule power surge. These are usually harmless, but it only takes one unfortunate incident (and a bit of bad luck, or shoddy/old wiring!) to destroy the microprocessors in your home’s electrical devices.

There are a few potential causes for power surges, including:

  • Electrical Storms. Lightning is potentially the most catastrophic of sources for a power surge, generating enough excess power for a period long enough to fry every single appliance and piece of electrical equipment in your home. You can opt for lightning protection systems for your home.
  • Grid issues. Power companies working on your area’s grid can create surges on occasion, opening your possessions to a potential early demise.
  • Improper/worn wiring. The condition of the wiring in your home has a lot to do with whether they can safely handle discharged excess voltage.
  • In-home operation. Any device that uses electricity (particularly those that run off of motors) are potential candidates for a power surge.

What Is Surge Protection?

These devices, are designed to protect your home from dangerous voltage spikes by both limiting direct voltage to your electronics, and by mitigating transient voltages and directing them to your grounding system. Lightning protection systems and surge protection in Atlanta, GA is available primarily in two forms:

  • Point-of-use protectors. These devices are designed to protect specific areas or electronics in your home. You may be familiar with power strips, which are a low-grade form of surge protection, but a proper point of use device can handle much higher voltages at a much safer rate.
  • Whole home protection. Designed to prevent and disperse transient voltages from entering your home, whole home protection stops lightning storm surges and other external sources of voltage spikes (power line damage, grid work, etc.)
