To increase awareness of the benefits of surge protection to promote proper application and usage,
National Electrical Manufacturers Association's Surge Protection Institute has updated
its website. Specifically, the website explains how to specify and apply surge protection to commercial, industrial and residential facilities; how surge protective devices work; and important surge characteristics. In addition,
the site provides reference materials, links to regulations, and it explains the harmful effects of electrical surges and how to minimize damage and lost productivity they can cause.
