A surge protector, spike suppressor, surge suppressor, surge diverter, surge protection device, transient voltage suppressor, or transient voltage surge suppressor is an appliance or device intended t
Surge protection device (SPD) for installation in a low-voltage distribution system
A power strip with built-in surge protector and multiple outlets
A whole house surge protector installed on a household electrical circuit breaker panelboard in 2012; this surge arrester provides protection to all the household electronic devices. Two green lamps indicate that the metal-oxide varistors in the unit are still functional.
A transient-voltage-suppression diode, also transil, transorb or thyrector, is an electronic component used to protect electronics from voltage spikes induced on connected wires.
