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


Can a power surge cause an dramatic increase in the KWH reading of a digital meter?

A power surge is unlikely to cause a significant increase in the kWh reading of a digital meter because the meter measures the amount of electricity consumed over time, not the voltage of the electrical supply. Power surges can cause damage to electronic devices but typically won't directly impact the kWh reading on a meter.

What damage can a power surge cause if a 2002 Sebring is plugged in during winter?

Probably not much unless it's a lightning strike. A simple power surge shouldn't do damage since the vehicle is fairly rugged when everything is turned off like that. A lightening direct hit or near direct hit can cause results that are unpredictable. Voltages at that level tend to follow whatever path they like.


Is it really nessecary to replace a surge protector after a lightening strike?

If your surge protector is still supplying power, it should still be fine. Surge protectors have two separate ways of preventing surges, semiconductors act as variable resistors to prevent smaller surges (which can be cause by things as simple as refrigerators and air conditioners, anything high voltage), and a fuse that breaks to protect from surges the semiconductors cannot handle. If the surge protector is still supplying power, the fuse is still intact, and your surge protector is fine.

Why does my surge protector keep tripping?

A surge protector may keep tripping due to overloading, a faulty connection, or a power surge. It is important to check the devices connected to the surge protector and ensure they are not drawing too much power. Additionally, inspect the surge protector for any damage or loose connections. If the issue persists, consider replacing the surge protector to prevent potential electrical hazards.


What problems can a faulty power supply cause on a computer system?

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!
