Power Protection Devices

Several devices are available to protect against power fluctuations and
failures:

Surge protectors

Line conditioners

Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors and power strips equipped with surge protection help
prevent damage to your computer from voltage spikes that can occur during
electrical storms or after power interruptions. Some surge protector
manufacturers include warranty coverage for certain types of damage.
Carefully read the device warranty when choosing a surge protector. A device
with a higher joule rating offers more protection. Compare joule ratings to
determine the relative effectiveness of different devices.
