How prevalent is the use of switch-board mounted surge/spike diverters,in your country?.
A brilliant thunderstorm last night, made me wonder.
Over here,they are just starting to be utilised, as people are looking to protect their computers and other sensitive equipment,against lightning damage.
Another advantage of installing these devices, is that incandescent and Halogen lamps,tend to last a lot longer,because of the minimised occurrence of voltage spikes.
