  Surge protective devices protect against downtime, improve system and data reliability, and reduce electrical failures. Electrical surge damage can be experienced in a single event or as the result of an accumulation of power surges. Lightning and external sources cost the U.S. economy an estimated $5-6 billion per year. A common source of power surges inside a building are devices that switch power on and off. Damages caused by power surges are a leading cause of electrical equipment failure. A recent survey found that all facilities that experienced power surges have reported downtime. The majority experienced between 1 to 12 hours of downtime. While 13 reported downtime greater than 48 hours caused by electrical surges. Typical applications of surge protective devices within industrial or commercial settings include: HVAC systems Generators Security systems and camera Fire alarm signaling circuits Installing surge protective devices will protect against electrical fa...

  According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electrical malfunctions or failures accounted for 13% of home structure fires from 2012-2016 and were the second leading cause of U.S. home fires. Fires involving electrical malfunctions or failures accounted for the highest share of direct property damage and civilian deaths. Approximately two of five fires involving electrical malfunctions or failures occurred from November through February. In nearly three of five home fires involving an electrical malfunction or failure, arcing was the heat source. Similar to ESFI’s efforts in  preventing electrocutions  and  childhood shocks and burns , ESFI seeks to educate the public on fire-preventing electrical technologies required by the  National Electrical Code . ESFI is a proud supporter of  NFPA’s  Fire Prevention Week. The theme for Fire Prevention Week 2021, “ Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety ,” works to educate the...
