surge suppressors
Voltage spike guards
Surge suppressors are devices that protect electronic equipment from voltage spikes in electrical power.
They work by diverting excess voltage to ground, preventing damage to sensitive components in computers, televisions, and other electronics.
Most power strips marketed for home use include basic surge suppression: Make sure your computer is plugged into a surge suppressor, not just a regular power strip.
