surge protectors
Electrical spike blockers
Surge protectors are devices that shield electronic equipment from voltage spikes in electrical power.
They work by diverting excess electricity away from connected devices, preventing damage from lightning strikes or power fluctuations.
Most appear as power strips with multiple outlets: Plug your computer into a surge protector, not directly into the wall.
