Surge Protector

A small device designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes.

Similar to power bars, but surge protectors can detect when power surges are larger than an “acceptable level” for your devices.

In a surge protector, excess power is re-routed to a grounding wire and fuse, which will burn out when power exceeds what it can handle.  Surge protectors provide adequate protection for vital devices such as monitors, printers, tvs, entertainment systems, and smartphones.

*Something to note:  surge protectors can come with different “joule ratings”.  The higher the joule rating, the more excess power the surge protector can take .
