Surge Socket Protectors

Surge socket protectors are an overlooked, yet vital part of your home entertainment system. Equipment can be severely damaged by power surges and spikes, which a surge socket protector can protect against. Surge socket protectors work by monitoring the electricity flow and returning excess power to the system or into the ground. If the voltage rises above the specified limit (240V in the UK) the remainder is sent to the ground.

Here are some examples of surge socket protectors currently on the market:
