With our homes and workplaces filling with technology it is important to understand how we are able to protect what we are so heavily investing in and relying on for daily activities.

Power surges are unpredictable and can destroy electrical devices. These transient spikes (power surges) can be caused from equipment with motors, such as fridges, pool motors, vacuum cleaners.

Now there are two really important points to understand:

1. Even if you have protection in your power box it doesn't protect you from surges caused by appliances within the household electrical circuit.
2. Safety switches or earth leakage devices that you may have installed are designed to protect people against electrocution, they do not protect devices.

So what can prevent damage to your equipment? Power filters.

A power filter ensures that an equilibrium of power output is maintained, it measures the electricity coming in and ensures that the Australian standard for appliances, 240V is the constant output of power.

It is extremely important to protect your electrical equipment from power surges which can destroy items they you may have heavily invested in, such as home theatre equipment, communication lines and kitchenware appliances.

Another benefit of a power filter is it also filters and cleans all incoming power for the prevention of software glitches, digital malfunction, and hardware breakdown, so that you get the best performance from your electrical devices.

For those music lovers who love a clean crisp sound you will be happy to know that a power filter will not only protect your beloved sound system but will also prevent other electrical appliances interfering with the sound signal.

Recently released by Thor is the Smart Series, it includes a number of new key products such as the Green Board. It is the first of its kind in Australia to have two banks on the power circuit allowing you to fully turn off electricity to some devices whilst keeping the current flowing to technology that needs to be constantly kept on, like recording devices.
Separate banks are an innovative smart design in that they separate devices so there is no cross-interference between components.
