What are Electrical Surges?
An electrical surge is a sudden and short-lived wave of current, power, or voltage in an electric circuit. They are brief power voltage spikes or a disturbance that can cause damage to, degrade, or even completely destroy any appliances or equipment in a home, commercial building, manufacturing facility, or another structure.
What is the Source of an Electrical Surge?
The source of a power surge can be inside of a building or outside the building. Usually, outside sources are changes from the grid to the utility company, lighting, or even grid failures. Inside the house or building sources include switching off or on an appliance that consumes a large amount of electricity. In an industrial or commercial setup, surges may be introduced by larger motors turning off or on, especially if they aren’t protected from surges.
Larger power surges, such as the ones that occur during a storm, aren’t common, but unaccounted and invisible small power surges occur every day, often without being noticed.
