Save your devices with Smart surge protectors

The world of electronics is growing very fast and the sales of electronics goods are in steep rise. Newer technologies are replacing the old ones and they are doing it pretty fast. So, it gives way to the production of newer devices and more better products.

The electronics products have changed but there is one basic fundamental part of all the electronics appliances that hasn't changed and it's the charging plug. We will always need a power source to charge or play it and this is what is the fundamental component of every electrical device.

Now powering the electrical devices was easy, but we need to protect the devices from being damaged. For that we need smart surge protectors, to protect our devices from the sudden surge in voltage.

When do we get a power surge and how does it works?

Heavy electrical appliances like air conditioners, grinders, refrigerators draw in heavy amount of energy, thereby drawing more voltage. During heavy rains the lighting is more than expected. So, a lightning strike near your area can surge the voltage. This voltage surge can damage your electrical equipment installed in your home, without a power surge. The surge protector has a MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor), which diverts the extra voltage to the ground or cuts off the fuse, so that the electrical appliance is protected. Whenever the voltage is high the metal oxide that is connected to the power line, diverts the extra voltage by connecting to the ground, once the extra voltage is grounded the MOV returns to the original position, ready to act only if the voltage is high.

So, a smart surge protector installed for the entire house will save all the electrical devices connected to the power source. It is always advisable to remove the appliances whenever there is a thunderstorm or lightning.

With the online market being flooded with various USB charging stations, we need to take care of few things before buying one.

We need to check for the output of each ports, like 1A, 2A and so on, and choose the one that suites the appliances that we use regularly and we need to check for the number of ports available. It can range from one to multiple ports, but you need to charge a number of devices using a single charging station so it is always advisable to buy a station with multiple ports, so all the devices are charged at the same time.

Then we need to check if the power station has a surge protector or not, it will help us in choosing the best USB charging station.

Surge protectors are one of the best ways to save our electrical devices.
