Many
of our purchases—from computers to home entertainment systems—are
connected to multiple power and communication lines. These systems
include:
- electrical
power from your utility provider

Each
connection point also is a potential source of damage to your equipment
from dangerous electrical surges. Surges can be caused by:
-
power switching at the utility
-
power outages and the related power surges
-
lightning-generated surges to power lines
MULTIPLE
CONNECTION POINTS LEAVE YOU VULNERABLE
Insurance industry studies show that having multiple sources connected
to one unit allows for a variety of grounding differentials. When
a surge arrives at the equipment, it may "arc" across
the internal electronic components trying to reach ground. This
arc can damage sensitive computer and power supply components rendering
them useless.
Just
protecting one of the systems does not eliminate the potential for
damage when the other sources aren’t defended.
MAXIMIZE
YOUR PROTECTION
The best place to obtain the highest level of surge protection is
at the service entrance (load center) using a whole-house or whole-building
surge protection device. You want all the systems in your home or
business to have the potential for passing the surges safely away
from the valuable electronic equipment.
