A power surge is a sharp increase in voltage. Surges can occur
on your electric, phone or even cable TV lines. They are often caused by lightning
but can be associated with many other types of uncontrollable events such as
hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, vehicles accidents involving utility equipment,
etc. The most common type of surges are caused by the starting of motor-driven
equipment such as your refrigerator, air-conditioner, furnace or garbage disposal.
You've probably already suffered damaging effects of power
surges without even realizing it. These surges shorten the life of electrical
appliances and components in your home and often lower their operating efficiency.
