What is a Surge Protector?
A surge protector is simply a power diverter. It directs harmful power disturbances safely through a bypass path of least resistance to ground. A surge protector is designed to take in and handle high-voltage (surges) by delivering low clamping voltages combined with high surge-energy-handling capability.

Simply put - They take the “hit” from a high-voltage surge, let a safe and reasonable amount of voltage through and then send the rest to “ground”.

There are many types of surge suppression devices. The HomeGuard System is a dual-stage approach to surge protection, which includes a service entrance arrestor as well as an array of point-of-use secondary plug-in surge protectors.

The basic components of a surge protection system are:

• Grounding - This provides personal safety.
• Service Entrance Protection - which provides a “manageable” level of protection but offers electric line protection ONLY.
• Point-of-Use Protection - which provides a “safe” level of protection for sensitive electronics and appliances by protecting electric lines as well as telephone and cable/ satellite lines.
