What Are Power Surges & What is a Surge Protection Device?

Power Surges

Power surges are sudden increases in voltage that can travel through your electrical system. They can be caused by lightning strikes, faulty wiring, or even large appliances, such as fridges and aircon, that cycle on and off. Without proper protection, these surges can fry circuit boards, damage sensitive electronics, and even lead to electrical fires.

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors act as a buffer between your electrical outlets and your plugged in devices. They contain specialised components that divert excess voltage away from your electronics and safely into the ground.

Surge protectors are essentially like a safety valve for your electrical system. When a surge occurs, they quickly react to limit the voltage reaching your devices, preventing damage.

Residential Surge Protection

Modern homes are filled with expensive and sensitive electronics that are susceptible to damage from electrical surges. From computers and entertainment systems to kitchen appliances and smart home devices, a single surge can damage or destroy these valuable items, leading to expensive repairs or replacements.

Surge protection acts as a safeguard, to divert excess voltage away from your electronics and ensure their longevity. By investing in surge protection, you reduce the risk of electrical fires, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your home is shielded from unexpected electrical events.

Our Triforce qualified Master Electricians will thoroughly examine your home and electrical system to pinpoint the ideal locations for installing surge protection devices. Following the assessment, we'll present you with various options and provide expert recommendations on the specific surge protection your home and appliances require.

Commercial Surge Protection

In commercial and industrial settings, where complex electrical systems and sensitive equipment are vital to operations, surge protection is paramount. A power surge can cause significant financial losses due to equipment damage, downtime, and data corruption.

Businesses rely heavily on technology for communication, production, and customer service, making any interruption costly. Surge protection safeguards not only expensive machinery but also the seamless flow of business operations.

In industrial settings, where high powered equipment is widespread throughout properties, surges can be even more devastating. With robust surge protection measures installed by our experienced electricians across your business and industrial facilities, you can minimise downtime, protect valuable assets, and maintain productivity, essentially ensuring a secure and profitable future.

Industrial Surge Protection

Industrial facilities face unique challenges when it comes to electrical surges. High-powered machinery, expansive electrical systems, and constant operational demands make these environments particularly vulnerable to surges caused by lightning strikes, power outages, and equipment malfunctions. Without proper protection, these surges can result in catastrophic equipment failure, prolonged downtime, and severe financial loss.

Industrial surge protection systems are specifically designed to handle the complexities and scale of industrial operations. They divert excess voltage safely away from critical equipment, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring uninterrupted performance. This protection extends to key systems, including manufacturing lines, IT infrastructure, and safety mechanisms, keeping operations running smoothly even in the face of unpredictable electrical events.

Our team of Triforce Master Electricians specializes in industrial surge protection solutions tailored to your facility's needs. We conduct a thorough assessment of your electrical network, identifying vulnerabilities and recommending high-capacity surge protection devices suited to your industrial environment. With expert installation and maintenance, we help secure your operations against costly disruptions, ensuring your business remains productive, efficient, and protected against electrical surges.

Types of Surge Protectors

At Triforce Electrical, we offer a range of surge protection solutions tailored to your specific needs in Brisbane, Brisbane South, Gold Coast, Logan, and Redland. Our expert electricians can assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate combination of surge protectors for your home or business. We'll ensure you have the right level of protection to safeguard your valuable electronics and appliances.

Whole House Surge Protection

Surge protection is installed at your switchboard and provides comprehensive protection against surges for your entire electrical system. It's the first line of defence, safeguarding all hardwired appliances and electronics in your home or business.

Power Strip Surge Protectors

Power strips, or power boards, come with surge protection and offer multiple outlets, allowing you to protect several devices at once. They're ideal for protecting sensitive electronics like computers, TVs, and gaming consoles.

Individual Surge Protectors

These compact SPDs plug directly into a single outlet, giving extra protection for your most valuable items. They're perfect for protecting expensive appliances or equipment that are always plugged in.

Coaxial Surge Protectors

Coaxial protectors safeguard your cable TV and internet connections from surges that can enter through coaxial cables. They help prevent damage to your modem, router, and other connected devices.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with Surge Protection

A UPS provides battery backup power during outages and also includes built-in surge protection. For critical equipment that must remain operational without interruption, even for a second, an UPS is essential.

Type 1, Type 2, & Type 3 Surge Protection

Surge protection devices (SPDs) are classified into three types based on their level of protection and where they are installed in your electrical system:

Type 1 SPDs provide the highest level of protection and can handle direct lightning strikes and the most powerful surges. Type 1s are recommended for homes and businesses in regions that have frequent thunderstorms and external surges; they are the most expensive SPDs.

Type 2 SPDs provide mid level protection against surges that are caused by indirect lightning strikes and internal power surges. Type 2s are installed in distribution boards for appliances and electrical equipment throughout your property.

Type 3 SPDs provide the last layer of protection for individual electrical devices, such as computers, TVS and gaming consoles. Type 3s are plugged into the power outlets or power strips.

Our licensed electricians at Triforce Electrical can assess your property and recommend the most appropriate surge protection solution to safeguard your valuable electronics and appliances. We'll ensure you have the right combination of Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 SPDs to provide comprehensive protection against power surges.
