What Is a Surge Protected Powerboard?
A surge protected powerboard combines multiple mains outlets with built-in surge protection designed to help protect connected equipment from electrical voltage spikes and transient surges.
Unlike a basic powerboard, a surge-protected model incorporates protection components designed to limit or divert transient voltage according to the product's specifications.
Surge protected powerboards can be useful for compatible electronics such as computers, televisions, audio equipment, home-theatre equipment and other sensitive electrical devices.
Important: protection levels vary between products, so customers should compare the individual product specifications rather than assuming all surge protected powerboards provide the same level of protection.
