  A surge protector, also known as a surge suppressor or surge diverter, is a device designed to protect electrical and electronic devices from power surges or spikes or lightning. A power surge is a sudden increase in voltage that can occur due to lightning strikes, power outages, or electrical faults. These voltage spikes can cause damage to sensitive electronic equipment such as computers, televisions, and audio equipment. A surge protector works by diverting excess voltage away from the protected device and safely grounding it. It contains a metal oxide varistor (MOV) or a gas discharge tube (GDT) that absorbs the excess voltage and directs it to the grounding wire. Surge protectors come in different forms, including power strips, plug-in surge protectors, and whole-house surge protectors.   Problems Caused by Transient (Surge) 1. Damage to electrical/electronics equipment.  2. Disruption to the logic levels of the device rather than physical damage, resulting in data loss, softwar
