How to Maintain Your Surge Protective Device?

The maintenance of surge protection is just as crucial as its installation. Thankfully, we can simplify these maintenance procedures into a couple of steps:

• Regular Inspection: One of the most important ways to maintain your surge protection device is to perform regular inspections on it. Check the device's performance and location, determine whether the light indicators work, and ensure that every part is located where it should be.
• Check Physical Damage: Every surge protection device owner should look for any physical damage. If there is, it can indicate that the device is starting to fail and degradation is beginning to occur, which you should look to replace.
• Check the Power Cord: Lastly, check the power cord to see if there is any loose insulation or cuts. This can decrease the device's efficiency. Replacing the device will be a safe option.
