Understanding the differences between residential surge protection devices and industrial surge protection devices is not necessarily one of the most important things for people to learn, but understanding that your daily life relies upon industrial surge protection is probably a good idea. Modern life has been so influenced by technology that we are at a point where almost any productivity revolves around technology and connectivity to different systems. Just the simple act of picking up a cell phone and checking for driving directions in order to make it to a meeting involves several systems that are all reliant upon industrial surge protection to stay online.  From the cell towers themselves being able to transmit and receive signals to the data processing that is involved in providing the information that you are seeking through that device, industrial surge protection is touching your life and impacting it in several ways. The ability to receive the directions that you seek might create an inconvenience if it was unavailable, but in an emergency a total shutdown of your ability to utilize your phone can have consequences that are far more dire. Our reliance upon surge protection devices happens in the background of life and is rarely considered until those devices need to perform their job. One of the interesting aspects of surge protection is that it exists in a state which ultimately makes it easy to forget that it is there, until it performs its duty. The tasks that surge protection devices have are simple, protect equipment and systems from damage and outages by preventing excess electricity from passing through them. Surge protection devices are the gatekeeper that keeps electricity flowing within a range that is specified. As a result, surge protection devices ultimately save millions of dollars per year in damage and increase productivity to a level that can never be quantified due to society’s almost complete reliance upon it.

Surge protection devices on the industrial level either cut off the flow of excess electricity completely, divert it to another place or draw it down using different methods. The most technologically advanced surge protection devices have the ability to not need resetting after they perform their job, a characteristic that ultimately helps keep systems online and functional for far longer periods of time then the older devices of the type. These technological advancements improve our lives in ways that we do not even recognize daily but should be recognized as far as their importance with regard to business and the lives of people who are impacted by it. Maintaining a level of order goes unnoticed, but the damage that occurs when protection systems fail is obvious. Therefore surge protection devices on the industrial level are far more important to the public then we would ever realize. As industrial surge protection devices improve, so do our daily lives and the productivity that is impacted by them. These aren’t your grandma’s surge strips.
