How to protect equipment from power surges: Used surge protectors at an affordable price
Delicate computer equipment does not tolerate sudden voltage surges; it can easily break down. Power grids in large cities and villages are not always stable - heavy loads cause voltage fluctuations. A surge protector with protection will help you avoid costly repairs and protect your equipment.
Characteristics of surge protectors
Extension cords look similar, but only surge protectors can cut off power in case of dangerous power surges. This is especially important for PCs, where each component is sensitive to power surges.
Here are the main features to look for:
- Power
- Availability of grounding
- Cable thickness and flexibility
- Case material
To choose the right model, calculate the load of all the devices you plan to connect. The power is determined by the formula: Amps × 220V. For example, 10A = 2200W is enough for a PC, printer, monitor, and speakers.
Grounding is a must. It can be recognized by the metal tongues in the sockets. Also, choose a cable with thick, flexible stranded insulation. The standard length is 1.8 m, but we have 5 m and 10 m models for office use.
Pay attention to the case - cheap plastic can melt from heat and cause a fire. A quality surge protector should be durable, fireproof, and certified.
Additional features for convenience
Modern surge protectors have advanced features:
- Built-in USB ports for charging gadgets
- Switches for each outlet
This is ideal for those who want to control each device separately or charge their phone without a power strip.
For those looking for proven quality, APC surge protectors are among the most reliable on the market.
