surge protector to extension cord

When you charge your devices — be it phones, laptops or video game consoles — you typically use one of two things:  a  surge protector or an extension cord. Both of these are vital — but they fulfill different roles. An electrical extension cord lets you plug-in several appliances to one power outlet. It’s super useful when you just don’t have enough outlets to plug in all of the  things  you’d like to use. A surge protector, however, not only allows you to plug in multiple devices at once but also keeps them from being damaged by power surges that can occur  during a storm  or when the power grid is  under strain.  At Telebahn we understand how vital your devices are and just how frustrating it can be when things aren’t running right.

Let’s take a  closer look at these two tools. An extension cord is pretty dumb.  It’s got a long wire and a plug at one end that you stick into the wall. At  the  other end are multiple outlets that you plug your devices into. That way  devices further away from the wall can be used more easily. Extension cords, however, can be dangerous if not used  correctly.  For instance, connecting too  many devices to one cord  can lead the  cord to overheat, starting a fire. You also need  to get the length right. A long  cord may be useful, but can  also be a tripping hazard. Also remember to double-check that the cord is rated  for the power you require.

A Comprehensive Guide

Now let’s look at surge protectors. They are  the superheros  of  your electronics. They have the same type plugs that extension cords do, with  some additional features. Surge protectors can also soak up excess voltage, such  as  that  caused  by a lightning strike or the restoration of power after an outage.  This  surge of electricity can  fry  your devices, but a surge protector can prevent and absorb the damage. Telebahn ensures that our  surge protectors are of upmost quality and keep your electronics safe. As with  extension  cords, it’s essential not to overload a surge protector. They all have a  power limit, though, so make sure you check before plugging multiple devices in at once.

Plugging your electronics into a surge protector on an extension cord is a great way to guard against  problems. Think of it as  having your favorite gaming console  and a computer  on the extension cord. The electricity may  surge in the wires if there is a stroke of lightening near by. Without  a surge protector, that extra power can  flow into your devices and fry them.  This is where that surge protector comes in. It captures the spike and dampens the surge, saving your devices.
