Why is important to have surge protector?
A surge protector is designed to absorb the energy of temporary overvoltage surges on the powerline, preventing damage to delicate electronic devices plugged into the surge protector. Minor surges are safely absorbed with no problems. Major surges may cause the surge protector to sacrifice itself to protect the devices, if so you will have to replace the "burned out" surge protector with a new one.
Can you plug a ups into a surge protector?
EDIT: Actually, the gaming console and TV seem to now both work fine when plugged into a third outlet. I had previously tried plugging them both into the next nearest outlet and got the same result (tv turning off and on, console not properly booting) but when I plug them both into an outlet on the other side of the house they seem to work normally. When I plug a *different* TV and *different* gaming console into one of the problem outlets the different TV and console seem to work normally. What could explain this?
Can a window air-conditioner unit break from reveiving a power surge?
any air canditioner can break from receiving a power surge, usually what a power surge will do is blow the run capacitor...Lightning storms cause this problem a lot...thats why i tell all my customers to turn their ac off when a bad thunderstorm is passing through their area...it is possible also for the compressor or fan motor to be seriously damaged if there is a power surge

A power cut is when the power suddenly goes out or gets shut off. The opposite of this would be a power surge, which is a sudden surge of power.
How do you turn off the Bunsen burner?
You turn off the gas.
What if surge protector had high resistance?
If a surge protector had a very high resistance at all voltages, the wires in the surge protector would short out. It would kick off the protector and make it useless. A new surge protector would need to be purchased.
Do you need a surge protector for LCD TV?
I'd be a good idea, but it isn't necessary. On the off chance that there is a power surge and the surge protector on your house doesn't work it will protect it.
Do you leave the surge protector on at all times even when the computer is turned off?
If you're leaving your computer plugged in (but switched off) it's safer to leave the surge protector on ! The surge protector will stop any mains spikes reaching the computer - even when the computer is off (mains spikes are known to 'jump' internal connections).
What happens if you get shocked by a surge protector?
I got shocked by a search protector which didn't feel good even though im 12 years old. I felt a very bad shock but didnt die even though its only like... 10 minutes after i got shocked. TIP: turn off the search protector then plug in the AC adapter or what ever it is... Then turn on the search protector. Could SAVE MANY LIVES! Im doing better after 15 minutes. Be SAFE!!! :D
What device protects a computer system against lighting strikes?
A surge protector, but do not fully trust them, always turn your computer off in a thunderstorm, always. I had a $100 surge protector and it still failed to protect my computer, although my television and other equipment were all safeguarded by it. That would be an Uninterrupted Power Supply, or UPS for short. To the non- to semi-tech savvy, they would be called a Surge Protector. These devices, depending on the brand you have, keep the computer's power from failing in the event of a lightning strike, brown-out, or black-out.
How do you charge a Nokia surge phone?

Is a surge strip the same as an uninterruptible power supply?
No. A surge strip is a power strip with a surge protector that will shut itself off if it detects a significant surge in power. It protects devices from electrical damage by flipping itself off or in some cases blowing it's own fuse. A UPS, uninterpretable power supply, also acts as a surge protector but with the added bonus of having battery power to compensate for lack of power temporarily. This gives the user time to shut down the computer and save their work so as not to loose any progress made. Hope this helps!

What is the difference between spike and surge in electrical systems?
Surge suppressor, as name suggests suppresses and regulates the voltage and makes the power constant in a case of a spike or surge. While a protector simply detects the surge and turns the unit off. Suppressor is good for things like computers, where you don't want to keep turning on and off.
Why does my guitar amp pop when i turn it off?
Sounds exactly like a ground problem. These are best left to experienced techs because the risk of electrocution is very real. Try the amp with a surge protector, and also on a different outlet... these two steps will determine if it's a problem with the amp or the wiring of the building you're playing in.
