Frequently asked questions
Does surge protection stop lightning damage?
No device can guarantee protection from every lightning or network event. It can form part of a layered approach to limiting transient overvoltage.
Is a powerboard surge protector the same as switchboard protection?
They are installed at different points and may provide different layers of protection. The overall installation should be considered.
