I didn't know the answer to that question...
I didn't know it either, but we don't live in USA, so probably that's why. Maybe if the question was with Danish terminology, you would have known the answer.
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

You don't know what a surge protector is ?
This is a special mono or multi power supply to avoid electric voltage variations during storm.
Often they also have an on/off button.

Examples :




If you keep your computer (or tv, or hi-fi, or even phone) connected to your power supply during a storm without that kind of protection, this is what may arrive in case a lightning creates a voltage variation :


This multi-power supply had no surge protection inside :

Who wants to be a millionaire an idiot ?

Well, a water flow surge seems hardly a realistic scenario for homeowners to care about... priceless! ;D

I have never seen or heard of those things, Krys. But why don't they just use a regular fuse?
But we can't be quite sure.

If a lightning comes too close to your home, a fuse won't do its job fast enough and your electronic components will be over-powered and burn.
If you don't have that kind of surge protector, it's recommanded to turn off and disconnect the power cable of all electric elements with electronic parts when there's a storm : computers, Hi-Fi, phone, ...
My parents-in-law had a phone burnt once because of that.

Now that I see the pics, I do. In fact, I have 2 at home. One for the PC, and one for TV, Video Player, Sound System. I just didn't know it was called like that in English...  ;)
