What is a Transient Voltage Surge?
Transient Voltage Surges, more commonly known as voltage spikes or voltage surges, are momentary changes in the voltage or current that occurs over a short period of time. Transients are generated by any disruption in the flow of electricity, such as an electric motor turning off, a compressor kicking on, or by as something as simple as turning on or off a light switch. Transients can also be large in magnitude, large enough to cause catastrophic damage to electrical equipment. They exist in virtually every electrical system and if left untreated, will damage electrical equipment and eventually cause equipment failure.

What is Surge Protection?
Surge Protection or Surge Suppressor is a piece of equipment designed to protect all types of electrical equipment from voltage spikes. The surge protector regulates the voltage an electric device receives by blocking or grounding the voltage so that it is safe for the equipment. Voltage Strikes or Transient Voltage Surges can be caused by lightning, power outages, tripped circuit breakers, short circuits, Power Company malfunctions, electromagnetic pulses, inductive spikes or power transitions in other large equipment on the same power line.
