Troubleshooting
View all →Common Failure Modes
Surge protector components degrade naturally over time with small electrical spikes. Physical damage to cords or loose outlets are also common.
Maintenance
View all →Dust Unused Outlets
Dust bunnies settling into empty power strip sockets can create a conductive bridge or fire hazard when a plug is eventually inserted.
Inspect Cord Integrity
Extension cords and power strip cables can be damaged by foot traffic, furniture, or pets. Damaged insulation presents an immediate fire and shock hazard.
Test Surge Protection Status
Surge protectors rely on MOVs that degrade every time they absorb a voltage spike. Once degraded, they act merely as power strips without protection.
