Best Answer

A power surge under a load is probably the transmission slipping. If its a manual transmission the pressure plate is slipping on the disc. If it is an automatic most likely it is a worn clutch pack slipping. If it surges at idle with the tranny in park the surge is usually a defective IAC (Idle Air Control) valve.

Can a power surge cause a motor to go into reverse polarity?

No. If you have phase 1, 2, 3 (in that order), and phase 1 is the highest voltage at the instant a switching event occurs (causing a power surge), the surge voltage will be highest in phase 1. For polarity to change, you would need phase 2 to instantaneously change to greater than 1, which will not happen.

What effect does a power spike have on a computer?

A power spike - also known as a power surge - could harm a computer if the computer's power supply has a low joule (unit of energy) rating. A power spike, a sudden increase in energy, can overwhelm a computer's power supply and cause too much electricity to flow to sensitive chips and processors and destroy them. To safeguard against power spikes a surge protector should be bought. A computer power supply with a high joule resistance rating would work as well.

Some of the contents of your freezer have defrosted on their own without it being switched off Could this be because of a power surge and if so would a power surge protector help?

No. First, freezers don't have electronics that make them susceptible to surges like other equipment, at least in today's products. Second, a surge, if it damaged the freezer, would cause the entire contents to defrost rather than just part of the contents. The freeze would no longer work at all rather than just work poorly.
