Surge Protection Success Story: No Damage After Unexpected Outage
Just the other day, a TPD surge protector proved its value by absorbing a massive electrical surge, preventing any damage to internal appliances.
A dealer we work with frequently in the Philadelphia area experienced a major electrical service failure at his own home because a truck passing by at 55 miles per hour tore the meter base from the side of his house when he hit a nearby telephone pole, pulling down power lines along the street. This scattered equipment across his yard and caused a fault that knocked out power to the surrounding area. After the unexpected damage was repaired and utility power was restored, the only remaining question was if the home's electronics had survived.
Thanks to TPD, the answer was yes.
The home's TPX surge protector protected the electrical system exactly as designed. Every appliance, television, computer, smart home device, and other electronic system powered back on without damage or the need for repairs.
This success story highlights that damaging power surges aren't limited to lightning strikes. Utility failures, damaged service equipment, downed power lines, and power restoration after outages can all create powerful voltage surges capable of destroying expensive electronics. Whether the surge comes from lightning or the electric utility, surge protection can help prevent costly repairs and keep your home's electronics operating safely.
