Power Quality

What is it?
A surge protective device protects your electrical
equipment and appliances from voltage surges and
spikes that interfere with their normal operation.

What does it do?
Power surges can be generated from external
sources outside your home such as lightening, or
from internal sources inside your home such as
other electronics and appliances. You may be
unaware that surges also can enter through
telephone lines and cable TV or satellite dish
connections. These surges can cause immediate
physical damage to your appliances and electronics,
wear them down over time or create interferences
that cause them to malfunction.
Leviton, a leading manufacturer of surge control
devices, has developed an entire system to protect
your home. Surge protection works by protecting your
home’s electrical service panel from outside surges
with “point-of entry” devices and protecting your
electronics and appliances inside your home with
“point-of-use” devices.

Thanks for this information Pete, I learn a lot on your blog about electrical problems. I hope that I can now fix those electrical problems inside our house. But if I can't fix it, I will contact this commercial electrical contractors in Newcastle on their website to help me fix that problem.
