Power surges pose a significant threat to the longevity of your valuable and sensitive electronic devices at home, particularly your TVs and computers. The impact of overvoltages can wreak havoc, leading to irreparable harm to your beloved appliances. In unfortunate instances of such damage, the only recourse often entails the costly endeavour of replacing these electronics.

Fortunately, there exists a solution in the form of surge protectors, also known as surge suppressors, designed to shield your equipment from such electrical anomalies. By investing in surge protection, you can avoid the financial burden associated with replacing expensive items.

It essentially serves as an electronic insurance policy, safeguarding your investments from unforeseen power disturbances. At Upside Down Electrical, we specialise in providing this crucial protection for your peace of mind.

What are the Different Types of Surge Protectors?

Primarily, surge protectors come in three distinct types:

  • Portable surge protectors: These are power boards equipped with surge protection capabilities. They serve to safeguard any appliances connected to them from power surges.
  • Powerpoint surge protectors: Unlike portable ones, powerpoint surge protectors require installation by a licensed electrician. They replace standard powerpoints and offer specialised protection, typically intended for areas such as home offices or living rooms housing expensive appliances.
  • Main switchboard surge protectors: Arguably the most comprehensive option for home protection, these surge protectors are integrated into your main switchboard and necessitate professional installation. Some models feature replaceable components, allowing for module replacement without disconnecting power. Additionally, they are equipped with overload indicators, signalling the need for a new module installation. Though the power supply remains functional even if spent modules are left unattended, devices remain vulnerable to damage in the event of subsequent surges.

What is Whole House Surge Protection?

Electricity consumption is witnessing a steady increase, with Australian households consistently operating numerous electrical devices such as televisions, computers, air conditioners, and a plethora of sensitive electronics vulnerable to internal power surges.

Even when devices are in standby mode, they remain connected to the power grid, rendering them susceptible to power surges and outages, even during periods of non-use.

This surge in electricity consumption results in transient voltage, commonly categorised as either power spikes or power surges. Power spikes entail brief voltage increases lasting less than two nanoseconds, while power surges involve longer-lasting voltage spikes exceeding two nanoseconds. Despite typically being lower in voltage, power surges pose a far greater threat to equipment due to their extended duration.

The prolonged exposure to excessive power during a surge can inflict significant damage to electrical device components, ranging from burnt-out filaments to broken circuit boards and even fire hazards.

Given these risks, surge protection emerges as an essential safeguard for households. Whole house surge protection ensures the safety of your electrical system in the face of direct lightning strikes, downed power lines, or other substantial power surges.

Entrusting the expertise and experience of Upside Down Electrical technicians is paramount in securing reliable surge protection for your household.
