Power Surge Season is on Us Two Fold
June 13, 2005 -- Weather predictions for the next three months sound familiar. Brown outs and black outs plagued the country last summer, as did sever weather with lightning storms.
As our homes become more hi-tech, be aware of the havoc those conditions can play with your entertainment and computer equipment. These surges may come from your electric supplier as a voltage spike, or from a lightning strike. A lightning strike can come in thru your TV access or telephone line as well as your AC power.
These power surges are voltage transients, momentary voltage increases significantly above the standard 120 volts found in U.S. households and businesses. Some of these surges only occur for a fraction of a second and are hardly noticeable, but have enough energy to seriously damage electronic equipment. Small surges can also be generated within your home by air conditioners, refrigerators, and motor driven appliances.
