The Hidden Battle of Your Electronics

Your expensive electronics are fighting for their lives every time you plug them in.

We think electricity is this steady stream, but the grid is actually a chaotic mess of voltage

sags and invisible spikes. You know when a storm hits and your lights blink for

a split second, resetting your microwave clock? That isn't the power failing.

That is actually the grid saving itself. It’s a device called a recloser clearing

a temporary fault, like a tree branch hitting a line. If it didn't blink, your power would

be out for hours. The grid basically just took a bullet for you.
