Lightning Protector Equipments

Surge Protector works by channeling the extra voltage into the outlet’s grounding wire, preventing it from flowing through the electronic devices while at the same time allowing the normal voltage to continue along its path. Electrical surges can damage equipments by burning its wires or gradually over time wearing down the device’s internal components and even wipe out any saved data. Surge protectors can also protect telephone and data equipments.

It is a common misunderstanding that surge protectors will 100% protect systems from lightning, even the most effective surge protectors can not 100% protect equipment from the sudden increase in electrical pressure of millions of volts that lightning can supply. It can only prevent the damage during lightning storm.
