How Does it Work
Power surges can be caused by a number of different things, including:
- Storms from a hurricane or strong lightning.
- Tripped circuit breakers.
- Short circuits.
- Power transitions.
- Malfunctions from the power company.
- Electromagnetic pulses.
A whole house surge protector prevents excessive electrical swells from affecting your home by blocking or shorting them to the ground. It does this by using metal oxide varistors which are typically installed in a home’s electrical service box. Protective devices can also be added to appliances for extra protection.
