| An
unexpected increase in voltage in an
electrical current that causes damage to electrical equipment.
For example, the standard United States
voltage is 120V, if an electrical current above this rating was
to come through a power outlet for more than three
nanoseconds this would be considered a
surge, anything less is considered a spike.
Hardware devices such as surge protectors are
designed help prevent any surges and spikes from damaging any electrical
equipment by. All electrical devices including your computer should
have a surge protector to help prevent them from becoming damaged
when an electrical surge occurs.
