Your home, given the continuous digital transformation, contains even more electrical and electronic equipment, with more complex and important functions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_you_need_a_surge_protector\"><\/span>\n\t<strong>Why do you need a surge protector?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\n\tBig appliances (washing machines, fridges&hellip;) are robust appliances that withstand transient surges of atmospheric origin well, without suffering obvious short-term damage. Even so, they &nbsp;can still suffer deterioration or degradation of their components.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe more frequent damage is caused in electronic devices such as computers or televisions, which are becoming increasingly more expensive and sophisticated, often interconnected, which multiplies probabilities that an surge could affect them.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the case of smart home systems, a failure in electronic control elements can have disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_install_surge_protectors_if_I_have_a_business\"><\/span>\n\t<strong>Should I install surge protectors if I have a business?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\n\tIn commercial premises the problem is similar. Telecommunications, electronic systems and security devices are essential and often are interconnected too. In many of them, there are internal networks of computers with cables that travel important distances, sometimes joining equipment and devices from different buildings as well. Data lines and connected devices are designed for low voltages, therefore surges of an atmospheric origin can cause serious damages.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDespite the building have a lightning protection system, surges can enter equipment through the power supply lines, telephone, tv aerials or earthing system. They are lines coming from outside that may be affected by the electromagnetic effects of lightning, both from a discharge captured by the external lightning protection system and from a distant lightning strike. In the case of buildings without an external protection system, risk is higher.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_prevent_surges\"><\/span>\n\t<strong>How can I prevent surges?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/lightningprotection-at3w.com\/company\/about-us\/s14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aplicaciones Tecnologicas, S.A.<\/a> has a wide range of surge protectors that effectively safeguard the most common electrical and electronic devices of domestic and small business use.
