Also referred to as "spikes," electrical surges are sudden, brief rises in voltage and/or current to a connected load. They may originate inside or outside any home or business. Standard household equipment operating at 120 volts can be damaged by surges of 500 volts or greater.
Indoors, they're generally caused by major equipment, such as your air conditioner or refrigerator, switching on or off. Outdoors, they can be caused by incidents involving electric lines, neighbors using heavy power equipment or power equipment failures. Lightning most often causes them during seasonal electrical storms.
Without some type of surge protection, excess voltage goes into your appliances or anything plugged in and can cause damage. You may not notice damage at the time a surge occurred, however, over time it will shorten the life of your appliances.
