Surge resistance refers to the ability of an object or material to resist or withstand a sudden and potentially damaging increase in energy or voltage. Synonyms for surge resistance include surge protection, voltage protection, transient protection, and lightning protection. These terms all refer to the same concept of ongoing protection against power surges and electrical spikes that can damage electrical equipment and appliances. Surge resistance is essential for ensuring the longevity and reliability of sensitive electrical components. Using surge-resistant products and technology can prevent costly damages and downtime in homes, businesses, and industrial settings where high-powered electrical devices are common.
