What is a power surge and its effects?A power surge refers to the sudden rise in the current flow of electricity. It affects the electrical appliances a lot. It can
Totally damage the appliances
Burn the electrical appliances plugged in
Make the appliances damage-prone in the future
Damage the electrical wires
Not only these, people using electrical appliances during such a time can also get serious electrical shocks. That is what happened with our relative. If the surge is low it is okay but if it is great, it bears the capability to even kill a person.
Can an electrical surge cause a fire?The answer is yes it can. A great fluctuation in the electricity voltage can even cause a fire breakout in the house so it's better to get your electrical appliances and wires checked regularly.
This is all I can say about what happens during a power surge.
