I recently had a power surge at my house, and some devices on my surge protectors died (graphics card, tv, modem) but others were fine (router, xbox, apple tv). I don’t understand what the difference was, can surge protectors be explained more on how they work?
In: Technology
Sounds like you might have both a Surge Protector and an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Typically Surge Protectors only suppress surges of power coming in over the power lines. UPSs have a built in battery as well as a surge protector so it can maintain power to the devices in the event of a power failure.
