Typical voltage levels for household appliances and electronics are between 110 volts and 230 volts in most countries.

Alasan utamanya adalah kelebihan beban listrik, kabel yang rusak, sambaran petir, dan pemulihan daya setelah pemadaman atau pemadaman listrik.\r\n\r\n<strong>Kelebihan Listrik<\/strong>\r\n\r\nKelebihan beban listrik dapat terjadi ketika terlalu banyak daya yang diambil dari satu rangkaian. Hal ini paling sering terjadi karena penggunaan kabel ekstensi yang berlebihan dan menghubungkan terlalu banyak perangkat ke sirkuit yang sama.\r\n\r\n<strong>Kabel Rusak<\/strong>\r\n\r\nKabel yang rusak berpotensi menjadi penyebab internal lonjakan listrik, yang lebih mungkin terjadi pada kabel listrik yang rusak atau terbuka.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sambaran Petir<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPetir jarang merusak peralatan melalui paparan langsung. Namun, hal ini dapat mendatangkan malapetaka dengan memicu lonjakan listrik. Kerusakan akibat petir biasanya diakibatkan oleh sambaran langsung pada saluran listrik sehingga menghasilkan tegangan yang besar. Petir yang mendarat tepat di dekat saluran listrik Anda dapat menyebabkan lonjakan tegangan listrik jutaan volt. Lonjakan listrik akibat sambaran petir dapat merusak perangkat elektronik Anda.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pemadaman Listrik atau Blackout<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPemadaman listrik biasanya terjadi karena kegagalan jaringan listrik dalam skala besar, dan meskipun kekurangan listrik biasanya tidak menimbulkan masalah apa pun, sering kali dapat menyebabkan kembalinya sambungan listrik. Lonjakan arus yang tiba-tiba ketika listrik pulih setelah pemadaman listrik adalah hal yang biasa. Akibatnya, lonjakan arus listrik ini berpotensi merusak peralatan terpasang dan perangkat yang tidak memiliki pelindung lonjakan arus.\r\n\r\n<strong>Apakah Pelindung Lonjakan Arus Diperlukan?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTanpa pelindung lonjakan arus, lonjakan tegangan yang tiba-tiba dan lonjakan listrik yang menyertainya dapat merusak peralatan Anda. Meskipun lonjakan listrik tidak sepenuhnya merusak perangkat elektronik Anda, hal ini dapat memperpendek umur perangkat, atau membahayakan perangkat dan peralatan lainnya.\r\n\r\n<strong>Bagaimana Mencegah Lonjakan Listrik Merusak Perangkat Elektronik?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMenggunakan perangkat pelindung lonjakan arus, terutama bila dikombinasikan dengan sistem grounding yang andal, akan melindungi perangkat dan peralatan listrik dari semua kecuali lonjakan listrik yang paling parah.","protected":false},"featured_media":794,"parent":0,"menu_order":178,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"blog_category":[8],"class_list":["post-793","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","blog_category-company-news"],"acf":{"des":"What Is Power Surge?Power surges are just as the name suggests: surges of electrical power that is higher than normal.","txt":"<strong>What Is Power Surge?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPower surges are just as the name suggests: surges of electrical power that is higher than normal.

Surges are also referred to as \u201ctransient voltage\u201d because they\u2019re caused by the sudden presence of an overvoltage traveling through an electrical system.\r\n\r\n<strong>What Causes Power Surge?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThere are several causes for a power surge. The main reasons are electrical overload, faulty wiring, lightning strikes, and the restoration of power after a power outage or blackout.\r\n\r\n<strong>Electrical Overload<\/strong>\r\n\r\nElectrical overloads can occur when too much power is drawn from a single circuit. This happens most commonly from overusing extension cords and plugging in too many devices into the same circuit.\r\n\r\n<strong>Faulty Wiring<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFaulty wiring is a potential internal cause of power surges, which are more likely to happen with damaged or exposed electrical wires.\r\n\r\n<strong>Lightning Strike<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLightning rarely damages appliances through direct exposure. Still, it can wreak havoc by triggering a power surge. Lightning damage usually results from a direct strike on power lines, which produces a large voltage. Lightning touching down simply near your power line can lead to an extra spike in electrical voltage of millions of volts. Power surges from lightning strikes can destroy your electronics.\r\n\r\n<strong>Power Outage or Blackout<\/strong>\r\n\r\nPower outages typically occur due to large-scale power grid failure, and while the lack of electricity doesn\u2019t usually cause any issues, the return to connection often can. It\u2019s common to experience a sudden jump in current when power is restored following an outage. As a result, this power surge has the potential to damage any plugged-in appliances and devices that do not have surge protectors.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are Surge Protectors Necessary?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWithout surge protector, a sudden voltage spike and accompanying power surge could damage your equipment. Even if a power surge doesn\u2019t completely ruin your electronics, it can shorten the lifespan of devices, or otherwise harm devices and appliances.\r\n\r\n<strong>How Prevent a Power Surge From Damaging Electronic Devices?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nUsing surge protection devices, especially when combined with a reliable grounding system, will protect electrical devices and appliances from all but the most severe power surges."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britecelectric.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britecelectric.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britecelectric.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blog"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britecelectric.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.britecelectric.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"blog_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.britecelectric.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog_category?post=793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
