The voltage that powers your electronic equipment, carries harmful properties called "transients" and "noise". A high voltage transient is a spike of electrical voltage which can originate from the power utility company or a lightning strike. Spikes of electrical energy travel along the power line and enter your system. If allowed to pass through to the electronics of your system, they can damage components and cause them to malfunction and ultimately fail without any notice. Effective power conditioning will prevent damage to your equipment by filtering out these harmful properties and it will enhance its reliability and performance.
