What is a Whole House Surge Protector?
A power surge takes place when there is an unexpected increase in the voltage that flows into your home. The end result is that your electrical devices could receive more voltage than they can handle, and this can destroy the appliances, HVAC, televisions, lamps and more in your house. Replacing everything can be very expensive, and a surge protector can save money.
A surge protector attempts to protect your home against the risk of a surge increase. If there are internal power surges, then a surge protector will take the extra voltage and direct it into the ground wire, dissipating it harmlessly. This is incredibly important for protecting your electrical devices against unwanted voltages and voltage spikes. A licensed electrician from Chesterfield Service can help you with surge protection.
What Causes a Power Surge?
As alluded to above, an electrical surge takes place when there is an unexpected increase in the voltage throughout your home above a safe threshold. There are a number of possible causes of power surges, both internal and external.
A few of the most common causes include:
- Lightning Strikes: If there is a lightning strike near your Chesterfield home, some of the voltage could get past into your wiring system, leading to a power surge.
- Power Outages: When the power is restored after a power outage, the rush of power to your home can cause a power surge.
- Tripped Circuit Breakers: If a circuit breaker gets tripped, it may not be able to adequately defend your power line against an increase in voltage.
- Short Circuits: Short circuits are one of the most common causes of power surges. More electricity passing through a shorter circuit increases the risks of a power surge.
- Large Equipment on One Line: If you have too many devices on the same line drawing a significant amount of power, it could lead to a power surge.
- Malfunctions Caused by the Power Company: It is also possible that the local power company did not set the system up properly, or there has been an incident that is causing more power to come into your home for some reason. Surges happen often without warning.
- Inductive Spikes: If the power supply to an inductor is suddenly changed or removed, this could lead to an inductive spike, causing a power surge in your home.
