Power surges are sudden, powerful increases in voltage which can damage or destroy household appliances and electronic devices such as televisions, computers, cordless telephones and more. These power surges or spikes can be caused by many things including the most obvious one lightning. Surges can also be caused by birds and animals, falling trees, or vehicles crashing into power poles. Whatever the cause of these power surges, the results can be devastating. Thats why SECO offers a surge protection to help our members prevent unnecessary financial loss. http://www.secosurge.info (less info)
