While load shedding is necessary to prevent blackouts, it can pose a significant risk to home appliances. Sudden power fluctuations can damage sensitive electronic equipment, leading to costly repairs or replacements. In this blog post, we will explore the best practices to protect your valuable home appliances during and after load shedding
Invest in Surge Protectors:
Invest in surge protectors that provide an extra layer of defense against sudden voltage spikes. Plug your appliances into surge protectors to prevent damage caused by power surges during load shedding. Surge protectors act as a barrier, absorbing excess electricity and redirecting it safely away from your appliances.
Unplug Appliances During Load Shedding:
To protect your appliances from power fluctuations and voltage spikes that may occur when the power is restored, it’s advisable to unplug your appliances from the power source. This precautionary step also reduces the risk of electrical fires caused by faulty wiring during power restoration.
Use a ups
A UPS acts as a bridge between the main power supply and your appliances, offering temporary power until the electricity is restored. This allows you to safely shut down sensitive devices and protect them from sudden power loss.
