An AC/DC surge protector is a device designed to protect electronic equipment from voltage spikes in both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) circuits. Here's a quick breakdown:
1. What It Does
Surge protection: Prevents damage from voltage spikes, often caused by lightning, power outages, or switching surges.
AC/DC support: Some protectors are made specifically for AC systems (like home outlets), while others are for DC systems (like solar setups, automotive, or industrial applications). Combo models can handle both.
2. Common Uses
AC: Protect home appliances, computers, AV equipment.
