SURGE GUARD: Your Affordable Solution to Power Surges and Load Shedding Woes

In a world where power surges and load shedding are an unfortunate reality, protecting your valuable appliances has never been more critical. We understand the frustration of dealing with unexpected power fluctuations that can wreak havoc on your electronics. That’s why we’ve developed a simple yet powerful solution to safeguard your appliances and save you from the inconvenience, time, and money spent on repairs or replacements.

Why Choose Surge Guard?

How it works

Our surge protector uses metal oxide varistors (MOV) that are thermal fused and limit voltage.

MOV connections expand life expectancy and increase current capacity. If exposed to many large transients or numerous small transients, MOVs can self-destruct leaving the protected appliances unharmed.

If the thermal disconnect triggers, it will not discontinue the power to the outlets, however, the surge protection circuit will be disabled, and the unit must be replaced.

Easy and Cost-Effective

With our surge protectors, you can continue using your traditional multi-plug extensions while safeguarding all connected devices with just one plug. It’s a hassle-free and cost-effective way to protect everything at once.

Unparalleled Protection

Surge Guard offers state-of-the-art protection for your electronics and appliances during load shedding and general power surges. Our advanced technology ensures your devices stay safe, preventing costly damage and downtime.

What is a Surge Protector

A surge protector is an electrical device that protects equipment against power surges and voltage spikes while blocking voltage over a safe threshold.

When a Voltage threshold is received, a surge protector shorts to ground voltage or blocks the voltage.

Without a surge protector, anything higher than 240V can create component issues, such as permanent damage, reduced lifespan of internal devices, burned wires and data loss.

What is a Power Surge

A power surge is a fast yet short duration of electrical surges in current, voltage or transferred energy that happens in an electrical circuit.

Typically, a power surge is caused by an oversupply in voltage from the power utility, although an oversupply of current is also possible; either way it affects the overall power moving through the incoming electrical lines, hence the term power surge. 

This event increases the electrical potential energy in the lines and causes more power to be discharged from the wall socket and into appliances which can cause severe damage to connected appliances.

Don’t let Power Surges derail your life.

At Apex Cordset Technologies, we developed the Surge Guard to empower you to take control of your electronics’ safety.

Don’t let power surges and load shedding disrupt your life or drain your wallet. Invest in a Surge Guard and experience the peace of mind of protecting your appliances.
