Now a voltage surge only occurs rarely through lightning, inductive switching in your grid or an electrostatic discharge. But if they hit your electronics, they can immediately destroy them. But with the 3 shown components you can easily and for pretty cheap save your circuits. Let's get started! Thanks to Mouser Electronics for sponsoring this video. 0:00 Overvoltage Problems! 1:25 Intro 2:08 Creating an Overvoltage Pulse for Testing 3:37 Test Circuit for the Experiment 4:04 Protection 1: TVS Diode 7:24 Protection 2: MOV 9:45 Protection 3: GDT 10:27 Comparison between all 10:47 Difference between Cheap/Expensive Surge Protection

Here is some more context. As far back as 2017 #Amazon has been caught selling dodgy power strips with plugs that caught fire.
Yet people expect stuff from this company to be safe.

PSA: Don't expect a "basics" brand of a big online retailer to perform stuff like #surgeprotection reliably.
It is largely marketing. Basic electrical safety like breakers and RCDs are probably more important than claimed protection against the odd surge, and appliances should handle surges anyway.
