What Are The Differences Between Surge Protectors And Circuit Breakers?
Posted by Christopher Hahn on
There can be a wide variety of protective technology built into an electrical appliance, but the two most common are surge protectors and circuit breakers. So what is the difference between the two? Surge protectors protect your electrical appliances from voltage spikes. A voltage spike is when a cord or appliance exceeds the voltage it is rated for, resulting in permanent damage to your appliance. The most common places you will see these installed are power strips like our PSROT-072. Usually, you will have computers, TVs, entertainment systems, and office equipment plugged into one of these.

Why Dryers Can't Use 110V Outlets
Posted by Christopher Hahn on
Lately, a lot of customers have been wondering if it is possible to adapt a 3 or 4 prong dryer to a regular household connection.
