What appliances typically are susceptible to voltage spikes and drops ? I know stereo equipment and TVs should be protected. I just bought 'OPTI-UPS SS1200 Stabilizer' to protect the control board in my pellet stove, since I just replaced it due to an ice storm.
I want to make sure I reasonably protect other items.
Refrigerator ?
desktop of course, but laptop ? don't these have voltage regulators built in ?
any other normal applicant/electronic that I am not listing ? for the $20 cost of this unit, I would not mind protecting items worth hundreds of dollars.|||Electronic equipment, especially audio, video, and konfuzers,
should be protected from out-of-tolerance voltages.
Most other things will survive temporary high or
low voltage conditions without harm.
Refrigerators and freezers can be damaged by low voltage
("brownouts") because they require a short burst
of high current to get the compressor started, and it
is not available under conditions of low line voltage.
