The benefits of spike guard

 A spike guard, also known as a surge protector or spike suppressor, is a device designed to protect electrical equipment from voltage spikes, surges, and other forms of electrical disturbances.


What does a spike guard do?

A spike guard works by:


1. *Absorbing or diverting*: Absorbing or diverting electrical surges and spikes, preventing them from reaching the connected equipment.

2. *Regulating voltage*: Regulating the voltage supply to ensure it remains within a safe range for the connected equipment.

3. *Protecting against power outages*: Protecting equipment from damage caused by power outages, such as data loss or system crashes.


Types of spike guards:

1. *Point-of-use surge protectors*: Plugged into a wall outlet and provide protection for a single device or a group of devices.

2. *Whole-house surge protectors*: Installed at the electrical panel and provide protection for an entire household.

3. *Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)*: Provide temporary power backup during outages and also offer surge protection.


Benefits of using a spike guard:

1. *Protection of equipment*: Prevents damage to electrical equipment from voltage spikes and surges.

2. *Prevention of data loss*: Protects against data loss and corruption caused by power outages and surges.

3. *Reduced risk of fire*: Reduces the risk of electrical fires caused by faulty or damaged equipment.

4. *Increased safety*: Provides a safe and stable power supply, reducing the risk of electrical shock or injury.


In summary, a spike guard is an essential device that protects electrical equipment from voltage spikes, surges, and other forms of electrical disturbances, ensuring the safety and longevity of your equipment.

M T Vasudevan Nair

My entry into the world of Malayalam literature was through the masterful writings of M. T. Vasudevan Nair, whose passing today feels like a deeply personal loss. It was his novel Manju (Mist) that first drew me into this literary universe. The story, much like its title, was enveloped in an atmosphere of melancholy and mystery. It unraveled slowly, like mist clearing in the morning light, revealing truths that were profound yet heartbreakingly simple. The characters, their struggles, and their silences lingered in my mind long after I turned the last page. It was not just a novel; it was an experience. I returned to it over and over, each time discovering something new, as though the book was speaking directly to the depths of my soul. To this day, I cannot count how many times I have read Manju—it became, and remains, a companion to my thoughts. After Manju opened the door, M. T.’s other works beckoned me forward. I was soon engrossed in Nalukettu, a story that painted a vivid portra...
