No surge and spike protector can do that. A good UPS with AVR will regulate the voltage, attenuating high-voltage anomalies and boosting low-voltage anomalies as needed. It is the AVR (automatic voltage regulation) feature of a "good" UPS with AVR that makes them so valuable. While it is that, backup power during a full power outage is but a minor, bonus feature. Many consider a UPS as a simple battery backup for power. That's hardly good for your computer, drives, or data. And for "extreme" surges and spikes, a surge and spike protector simply kills power ("IF" working properly) to your components. See Do Surge Protectors Wear Out?.īut more importantly, even the best surge and spike protector is little more than a fancy and expensive extension cord as they do absolutely nothing for abnormal low voltage events like dips (opposite of spikes) and sags (opposite of surges), or long duration sags (brownouts) - any of which can cause your electronics to suddenly stop, resulting in possible data corruption. So the general consensus is, they should be replaced every 2 years. But there is no practical way a normal user can determine how much wear and tear has occurred. Note that surge and spike protectors wear out. You don't need that.īut I agree with Regeneration and using a "good" UPS with AVR is a much better solution all around.
