The causes of power surges
Some of the main causes of power surges include:
Lightning Strikes: Lightning strikes near power lines or utility poles can cause sudden and intense surges of electricity, leading to damage to electrical equipment.
Utility Grid Fluctuations: Changes in voltage within the utility grid, such as during power outages or when large appliances switch on or off, can result in power surges.
Appliance Usage: Appliances with high power demands, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, or electric motors, can cause localized power surges when they cycle on and off.
Faulty Wiring or Electrical Systems: Wiring issues within your home or business, such as loose connections, damaged outlets, or outdated electrical systems, can contribute to power surges.
Downed Power Lines or Tree Branches: Physical damage to power lines, such as from fallen tree branches or vehicle accidents, can lead to sudden surges of electricity in the affected area.
Ways to safeguard a home from power surges
From an electrical perspective, some of the main ways to protect a home or business from the impacts of power surges include:
Whole-House Surge Protection: Install a whole-house surge protector at the electrical panel to intercept and dissipate voltage spikes before they reach your appliances and devices. This provides comprehensive protection for all electrical circuits in your home.
Outlet Surge Protectors: Use individual outlet surge protectors or power strips with built-in surge protection for sensitive electronics and appliances. These devices provide localized protection by diverting excess voltage away from connected devices.
Grounding and Wiring Maintenance: Ensure that your home’s electrical system is properly grounded and that wiring is in good condition. Faulty wiring or inadequate grounding can increase the risk of power surges.
Upgrading Electrical Systems: Consider upgrading outdated electrical systems, especially if you live in an older home with knob-and-tube wiring or other outdated components. Modern electrical systems are better equipped to handle power surges.
