Surge protection
All electricity networks are occasionally subject to variations in voltage due to lightning, storms or other causes of damage. Your own electrical installation can also sometimes cause voltage variations. These variations may interfere with the effective functioning of sensitive appliances or equipment.
You can use a surge protection device or SPD to protect sensitive electronic equipment
- Ask your registered Electrical Contractor to install an SPD on your distribution board or
- Use a socket board/extension lead with built -in SPD - available widely from good retailers.
