Surge Protection for the Storm SeasonAuthor: Chris B Posted Date: 5/19/2009 11:50:55 AM
You've probably noticed, with the storm and monsoon season rapidly approaching, that lightning strikes are happening a lot more often. Many of you are looking for home protection if you don't already have it. Others, too, might want to look at updating what they do already have.
Microprocessors are what will nearly always be affected once lightning strikes. In most homes these days, people are relying more and more on faster and smaller microprocessor-based equipment; there are over 50 microprocessors in an average modern home. They're embedded not only in desktop and laptop computers, but also in things like televisions, stereos, refrigerators, microwaves, security systems, and garage door openers. But faster and smaller means they're that much more sensitive to power quality problems.
In many cases, a small investment in some Leviton residential surge protection devices can help prevent these problems, safeguard all your sensitive equipment and help you to eliminate costly downtime.
Also, Leviton catalog number 51110-PTC is another type of surge protection for powerline, communication line, and telephone applications. Lightning strikes can affect even communication lines, like satellite dishes and cable TV, or even telephone lines. A lot of us just don't realize that all of these things can be rendered useless by a power surge, not merely power lines.
I can tell you that all of these devices, as varied as they are, can each be vitally important if you want to effectively protect against voltage transients and surges that can damage, degrade, or destroy critical equipment.
