What Are The Causes Of A Power Surge?

While there isn’t one single answer, power surges have many reasons for occurring. The basics of a power surge is because there is a sudden burst of electricity entering a circuit. This happens after a blackout, when the power is shut off and when the power comes on again. Electrical devices that are still plugged in and turned on will draw extra electricity into the system. You can find power boards that have some surge protection for appliances, however these do not protect the entire building. Having Transient Voltage Surge Suppression devices can solve the situation.
Here is a list of some common causes for power surges:

Tripped Circuit Breakers - It is important to re-active your circuit breakers, otherwise they are not protecting your system.

Electrical Devices - Some electrical devices are high powered and have motors, such as your fridge. After a blackout when the motor in your fridge starts back up will see a sudden surge of power.

Faulty Wiring - With any faulty wires or damaged cabling in a building, this is a hazard and can cause more issues than just power surges.

​Lightning - With lightning being pure electricity, any lightning strikes that happen to hit a building will cause a massive rush of electricity.
