We always take for granted that power availability is society's most inalienable right. Sudden electrical blackout was always an issue in India, where the system scrambled to figure out the actual cause. However, the most common cause is power surge events that have a contagion effect – leaving people without access to electric power and water, disturbing data and communication lines, and disrupting business and transportation.
Electric power being a vital constraint for every industry's proper functioning, we need to have a well-designed protection system incorporated against lightning and power surges.
For anyone who has read our previous blog posts, the importance of electric safety provision need not be explained!
Like breaker circuits, SPDs are a large-scale solution designed to keep undesired voltage away from your electrically operated devices and are much more powerful than breaker circuits/ fuses. Before discussing the likelihood of occurrence of surge events and the strength of the surges, we will try to understand the scenario of how we choose a protection unit.

How To Choose Right Surge Protector
For safely diverting such high power transient current to the conducting part of the earth, including a properly rated protection system as per the application is quintessential for the electric network to clamp the incoming voltage hikes to a threshold level that will extend the lifespan of devices and avoid any possible damages. Moreover, the manufacturing technology of the protection unit matters and has an effect on the protection scenario where different manufacturers utilize different technology.
Here are two major reasons for the incorporation of one such transient surge suppression unit at every level:
- Blocks the surge intrusion into expensive electronics and beyond -
Ascribable to instantaneous issues that occur from short-circuiting, excess overvoltage, or other natural occurrences causing high voltage intrusion can deteriorate electronic items' performance and shorten their prescribed life. The inference of surges occurring internally can be made only once your device starts behaving bizarre, causing the system to be disturbed and resulting in device breakdown, as these events significantly disturb the normal working conditions set for the equipment. A surge protection device is a vital piece of equipment that helps to protect devices against power surges which cause a greater amount of heat to enter your device and disrupt its functionality.
- The risk of electric fire hazards can be scaled down to a large extent -
Across this sphere, about 50% of fire hazards are initiated due to electrical faults and issues when you don't have appropriate safety installations in place. The sensitive electric/ electronic devices shoot spark and is easily compromised on the occurrence of an electric surge event. If the electrical fault enters the electric system components and its wiring, it can cause the electric network to release heat and initiate combustion. Here comes the need for Surge protection devices, and this is perhaps the most vital benefit of choosing and installing pertinent surge suppressing units along with a maintenance-free earthing system otherwise, it can have a ruinous effect on human life and property.
