Surge protectors are the primary defense you have to protect your sensitive electronic, computer, and stereo equipment from electrical surges or electrical spikes caused primarily by your power company, storms, and by internal electrical fluctuations within your home or office building. Internal causes can occur whenever equipment in a building is suddenly energized, like an elevator or air conditioning compressor; at home it can be when the refrigerator starts or washing machine changes cycles. These electrical surges or spikes usually only last for a short time, often less than a full electrical cycle which is 1/60 of a second, but over time repeated electrical spikes or power surges have a cumulative effect and will work to deteriorate electronic components which can eventually fail.
