Tutorial SA1 What is a power surge? Power Surges What are they? Where do they come from? What damage do they cause? What is a Power Surge? • Power surges are abnormally high voltage spikes riding on the AC Power • A power surge is the most common of a number of conditions that affect the quality of the power you receive from the utility • Electrical equipment in your home is designed to operate with minor variations in their standard operating voltage • Even the smallest power surge can damage nearly all equipment in the home What Causes Power Surges? • Lightning • Electric Utilities • Internal loads and wiring – 70% originate inside the home What Damage Do Power Surges Cause? • Disruption • Mis-operation of equipment • Frequently experienced • Degradation • Shortened life of equipment • Frequently unknown • Destruction • Pitting, burning • Immediately obvious What is a power surge? Summarized • Power surges are momentary, abnormally high voltage spikes riding on the AC Power • Power surges are caused by lightning, the electric utility and equipment found inside your home • Power surges can disrupt, degrade or destroy any electrical or electronic equipment connected to the AC Power system. Particularly vulnerable are appliances, home theater systems and home office equipment • There is a cost effective solution to protect your investments! Whole Home Surge Protection by
