Surge Protectors

Surge Protectors

Surges occur when the power of the electric system is higher than usual (most commonly due to lightning, faulty wires, or power surges from large machinery). These electrically charged surges can wreck and render equipment useless, which is time-consuming and costly.

High-power surges can normally be found in offices, workshops, and outdoors. We recognize this problem at Americord and provide durable surge protectors that will safeguard your equipment from damage.

Our protectors are constructed to endure harsh environments, perform well during heavy, demanding jobs, and withstand wear and weather. In addition, our cords are UL and CUL certified to ensure safety and quality.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between a power strip and a surge protector?

A power strip is convenient for plugging in several devices at once, but it cannot protect against voltage surges.

Unlike a typical power strip, surge protectors feature specialized components that absorb and divert excess electrical power for protection, which is necessary for your sensitive electronics.

2. How does a surge protector power strip work?

Surge protectors safeguard your electronics from unexpected voltage spikes by rerouting excess current away from your machines. 

To achieve this, these cords incorporate high-end components such as thermal fuses and voltage blunting technologies, which rapidly react to possible overvoltage conditions. 

With such protection, your gadgets are not exposed to risks such as lightning, outages, or excess current and continue to function properly.

3. What is the lifespan of a surge protector?

A surge protector is usually able to last for a period of 2 to 5 years, but this does depend on surge performance and the working conditions.

Many surge protector devices have an indicator light that signals you when the protection is working. If the light is off or the connected device looks damaged or stops functioning, this is a sign that the protection is no longer reliable.
