What are Surge protectors?
Surge protectors, provide a different level of protection to circuit breakers or residual current devices. They are designed to keep digital equipment safe from harmful voltage deviations such as might be experienced during lightning strikes, etc. However, less severe but damaging voltage drops, can still occur without notice often resulting from power transmission circumstances beyond your property.
Voltage protection devices (surge protectors) generally fall into two categories; these are “surge protectors” and “UPS” (Uninterrupted Power Supply).
A surge protector offers protection against momentary power deviations, typically characterised by lightning or other extreme weather events. They offer no protection against any following loss of power with the resultant problems of lost computer files or damage sustained on other devices.
A UPS device provides the same protection as a typical surge protector, while also providing back-up in the form of battery storage and is able to sustain power for a limited time. These devices can also smooth out any minor voltage fluctuations as they occur, or simply operate as a battery back up in the event of power loss.
Surge protectors and UPS devices are both available to protect specific power circuits and digital equipment connected that power outlet. However, surge protection fitted at the main switchboard can protect all circuits and devices connected within the entire house.
How can we help with your Surge Protector?
Surge protection should always be considered where sensitive digital equipment is being used. Not only are repairs caused by power fluctuation often expensive, the inconvenience of being unable to use that device for an extended period, can interrupt our daily lives noticeably.
An Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) provided with a battery backup, ideally provides up to 15 minutes of power, usually sufficient to safely shutdown any computer or other equipment at risk. If a battery with a longer back up period is needed, it’s important to look at what devices will be supported and how long the battery will need to support those devices. This is quite a complex evaluation, requiring the knowledge of a trained electrician. Alliance Climate Control technicians can advise you in this regard and would be pleased to receive your invitation to provide an evaluation of your battery storage needs.
Nevertheless, whatever type of surge protection you decide on, Alliance Climate Control carry a wide range of individual power board outlet or switchboard surge protection and UPS for complete protection of your digital equipment.
Alliance Climate Control can provide advice regarding:
- Recommendation of the most suitable type of surge protector power board or UPS for your needs.
- If a switchboard UPS is more suitable to your needs and the cost to install that feature.
- A UPS with a suitable back up battery allowing your devices to continue operating for a prescribed length of time.
How to maintain your Surge Protector
Once you have identified suitable surge protection, presumably one with a visible light indicating the surge protection feature is still enabled and working, it is important to check this status regularly, perhaps at monthly intervals, to ensure your devices are always protected.
Additionally, it is always worthy of note that if a single outlet power board is selected, the surge protector is not overloaded with several high current usage devices connected at the same time. Generally, surge protection is only required for digitally operated equipment and these generally operate with low power consumption.
If any doubt exists regarding your safety or the operation of your electrical system, Alliance Climate Control are always on call 24/7 in our radio controlled vehicles and can inspect and test your surge protection device on your concern.
