Surge protectors are not a bad thing, although the PS1 (as well as the L1 Model I, Model II, and all our other products) have built in surge protection. | Surge protectors are not a bad thing, although the PS1 (as well as the L1 Model I, Model 1S, Model II, and all our other products) have built in surge protection. | ||
"Surge" means a lot of voltage coming through the power over a short period of time. That's pretty rare and the main cause is lightning, some accidents involving power lines (mostly on poles) being cut and touching something they shouldn't (e.g. the wrong side of a power transformer) and some really big compressors (e.g. industrial-sides freezers or fridges) turning on or off. | "Surge" means a lot of voltage coming through the power over a short period of time.
