Surge
protectors are the primary defense you have to protect your sensitive
electronic, computer, and stereo equipment from electrical surges or
electrical spikes caused primarily by your power company, storms, and
by internal electrical fluctuations within your home or office
building. Internal causes can occur whenever equipment in a building
is suddenly energized, like an elevator or air conditioning
compressor; at home it can be when the refrigerator starts or washing
machine changes cycles. These electrical surges or spikes usually
only last for a short time, often less than a full electrical cycle
which is 1/60 of a second, but over time repeated electrical spikes
or power surges have a cumulative effect and will work to deteriorate
electronic components which can eventually fail.
You
can use the multi-outlet 250 volt surge protector to protect your
multi-voltage (100-240 volt, 50/60 Hz) appliances or use one of the
110 volt models to provide additional outlets from the transformer
110 volt output.
