Power distribution systems are responsible for efficiently allocating electrical energy from a primary source to various devices and equipment. They ensure that electricity is distributed safely and reliably, preventing overload or damage to connected devices. Surge protectors, on the other hand, safeguard electrical equipment from sudden voltage spikes or surges. These spikes can occur due to lightning strikes, power outages, or fluctuations in the electrical grid. Surge protectors detect and divert excess voltage away from sensitive devices, helping to prevent costly damage and downtime. Major manufacturers of surge protectors include Schneider Electric, Eaton, and Leviton, among others.
