Surge Protection
NZP Surge is a protection system that keeps your electrical equipment safe, extending its life expectancy.
What are the benefits of Surge Protection?
Mitigates the risk of fire caused by high surges.
Guards your appliances against premature burnout and increases the lifespan.
Saves on maintenance time and costs.
Ensures compliance with current wiring regulations.
Fit and forget technology.
Electrical equipment is constantly at risk from spikes and surges in your electricity. This is often caused by switching on & off of machines and appliances, or by external factors such as rerouting of power on the grid and lightning strikes.
Surge Protection absorbs these spikes and surges before they reach your electrical equipment, preventing damage or failure.
