Surge Suppressors Known as Surge Protectors

Operating on the principle of diverting excess voltage away from connected devices, surge suppressors act as a barrier against sudden power fluctuations. They typically feature multiple outlets, each equipped with surge protection circuitry, ensuring that connected equipment is safeguarded from potential damage. The surge suppression mechanism involves components like metal oxide varistors (MOVs) or gas discharge tubes that rapidly divert excess voltage to the grounding line, mitigating the impact on the connected devices. This swift response is vital in safeguarding electronic equipment such as computers, televisions, audio systems, and other valuable electronics.
