Surge Arrestors
Lightning strikes, mains electrical faults and even branches falling onto power lines during a storm can cause surges. Surges are voltage spikes measuring several thousands of volts that travel down the power lines, through the electrical switchboard and into customers’ electronic equipment.
This can affect electronic devices such as large screen televisions, computers, alarm systems, washers and dryers. The result can cause catastrophic failure or permanent damage to equipment.
A switchboard surge arrestor is designed to stop surges into the switchboard and prevent them entering your home. The surge arrestor is a small investment and the best way to protect your assets and property.
