UPS and Surge Suppression
Microprocessors, which are an integral part of all
computers as well as many home appliances, are particularly sensitive to surges.
They only function properly when they receive stable current at the right
voltage. You should definitely use a surge protector with your computer. It is
filled with voltage-sensitive components that a power surge could damage very
easily. At the least, this damage will shorten the life of your computer, and it
could very easily wipe out all of your saved data or destroy your system.
Computers are very expensive items, and the data they hold is often
irreplaceable, so it's only good economic sense to invest in a quality surge
protector.
Power Surges come from Several SourcesEven if you connect surge protectors to all of your outlets, your equipment might be exposed to damaging surges from other sources. If your computer is connected to the phone lines via a modem, you should get a surge protector that has a phone-line input jack. If you have a coaxial cable line hooked up to expensive equipment, consider a cable surge protector. Surges on these lines can do just as much damage as surges over power lines. |
