My houses lights went dim several times the other day, but this is not common. I read that voltage drops can be just as much damaging as voltage spikes. I have protection on my house for spikes. I have a surge protection unit for the main power coming into my house from the power company. I also have furman power conditioners on all my equipment,which I know arnet the best but they are something.
But as far as low voltage drops is that only caused by the Power company or can that be from too much load on a circuit in my houses wiring?
And what is the protection for voltage drops? Will the surge suppressor or protector do the job? Obviously not because my lights would have not dimmed.
What is the next step for me to fully protect my gear? I hate UPS battery backups because they always die and thats annoying and expensive. I need something I can install and forget.
