Surge Protectors Protect Your Electronic Devices! If a surge of electricity races through the outlet, it can damage the items that are plugged in. A surge protector prevents against power surges by absorbing increased power, rather than transferring it through to your plugged in electric item. With the state of our power supply in South Africa load shedding is the main cause of damage to electronic devices. Make sure you protect your equipment by using a Surge protector.

Using high quality interruptible power supply (UPS) equipment can help protect your hardware against damage from unexpected power failures or unclean power. UPS devices provide power backup to your system, ensuring that there is no interruption between your computer system and the main power supply. A UPS is required for aligners and our suspension tester from Jevol which both make use of computers.

We will not entertain ANY claims on power surges.
