Surge Protection
Surge Protection and Uninterruptible Power Supply Devices Supplied and Installed
Surge protection devices and uninterruptible power supply devices (UPS) are two essential tools for protecting your electrical and electronic equipment from damage.
Surge protection devices protect your equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes, power surges, and other transient events. These transients can cause premature aging of equipment, logic failures, downtime, and at worst, complete destruction of electrical components.
UPS backup devices provide a temporary source of power when the main power supply fails. These range from portable consumer devices to business UPS systems. By installing a UPS backup device, you can wave goodbye to data loss when the lights go out. A UPS device gives you time to save your work, shutdown and prevent damage to your electrical equipment.

Types of Surge Protection Devices
There are four main types of surge protection devices:
- Whole-house surge protectors: Whole-house surge protectors are installed at the main electrical panel and provide protection for all of the electrical circuits in your home.
- Power point surge protectors: A surge-protected power point is a wall outlet that protects electronic equipment from surges caused by electrical loads, operating high current equipment and electrical storms.
- Power board surge protectors: Power strip surge protectors plug into a standard wall outlet and provide protection for the devices that are plugged into the power board.
- Point-of-use surge protectors: Point-of-use surge protectors are plugged directly into the power point and provide protection for the device that is plugged into the surge protector.

Types of Uninterruptible Power Supply Devices
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) device provides a temporary source of power when the main power supply fails.
UPS backup devices are often used to protect computers and other electronic devices from data loss and damage caused by power outages. They can also be used to power medical equipment and other life-critical devices during power outages.
UPS backup devices are available in different sizes and capacities. Some UPS backup devices are small enough to power a single computer, while others are large enough to power entire data centres.
There are three main types of UPS backup devices:
- Standby UPS: Standby UPS devices are the most common type of UPS backup device. They provide power to connected equipment during a power outage by switching to battery power.
- Line-interactive UPS: Line-interactive UPS devices are similar to standby UPS devices, but they also provide voltage regulation to protect connected equipment from voltage sags and spikes.
- Online UPS: Online UPS devices provide the highest level of protection for connected equipment. They continuously convert AC power to DC power and then back to AC power, which provides clean and consistent power to connected equipment.
