A power strip with surge protection is a device that allows multiple electrical devices to be plugged in at once while safeguarding them from voltage spikes. These spikes can occur due to lightning strikes, power outages, or other electrical issues, potentially damaging sensitive electronics like computers and televisions. Surge protectors work by diverting excess voltage away from connected devices, ensuring they receive a stable power supply. Many power strips also include features like built-in circuit breakers and indicator lights to show when surge protection is active, providing an extra layer of safety for your valuable equipment.
