Voltage Surge Protector
A Voltage Surge Protector is an essential device for protecting electric fence energizers and other electrical equipment from voltage spikes caused by power surges or lightning strikes. These protectors, such as the Patriot Voltage Spike Protector or Gallagher Voltage Spike Protector, are designed to absorb excess energy and redirect it safely to the ground, preventing damage to the energizer. They are typically compact, plug directly into a wall outlet, and feature diagnostic LEDs to indicate protection and grounding status. Suitable for 110V AC systems, they ensure the longevity and safety of electric fences by reducing the risk of equipment failure due to electrical surges.
