Don’t let inferior power conditioning and protection equipment degrade an install. Look to Furman solutions for proper power, surge suppression and world-class technologies.
Typical surge suppressors rely exclusively on sacrificial components to protect equipment from voltage surges and spikes. They’re designed to “take the hit” when exposed to a catastrophic voltage irregularity. Yes, this might save the connected equipment, but in the process it also destroys an internal component of the inferior surge protector. This is like a blown fuse in an old-fashioned fuse box.
In a best-case scenario, this outdated approach to surge/spike mitigation leaves your equipment unprotected until the surge suppression device can be repaired or replaced. In the worst case, the alleged protection device can’t absorb the surge before failing or letting voltage pass into your system and damage equipment.
