Hi, Joe,

reasonably well.
I look

as I'm typing!). Sharing your knowledge is a gracious and valuable gift to
those of us stumbling about the computer world! Thank you!

From
WorldStart: How does a surge protector work?
Answer: A surge is a
term for when the voltage exceeds the standard 120V for longer than 2
nanoseconds. Common causes of surges are lightning strikes, cycling of high
energy demand appliances/systems and power delivery system failures.
A surge
protector has a circuit design which works normally at regular household
voltages but once a surge happens will divert the extra power to the ground
plug in the power outlet.
