∙ 15y agoA lightning strike has very much the same effect on electrical appliances as a power surge. An electrician will not easily tell the damage from these two events apart. Insurance covers for lightning, not for a power surge. So in short, claim for lightning damage, not power surge damage.

You cant a surge is a natural thing.
If a surge protector had a very high resistance at all voltages, the wires in the surge protector would short out. It would kick off the protector and make it useless. A new surge protector would need to be purchased.
This really isn't that big of a deal. Just check all your usb cables and ports to make sure there are no pieces of metal within the ports and cable connectors which is most likely the cause of the power surge.
possibly a faulty fuel pump.
You need a good power surge strip or a UPS. Make sure the computer plugs into the surge strip or the UPS, and then plug the strip or UPS into the wall. Some good UPS devices actually do power conditioning which is better, but more expensive.
The team's success had led to a surge in the sale of game tickets. Financial troubles and family conflicts made his blood pressure surge.
One of the most basic safety guidelines for generators is to make sure that you have a generator large enough to provide power to the location of your choice. If this safety guideline isn't met you can be subject to a break down or power surge.
Because you can use water over and over again to make energy.
This question is a little vague, but I'll make by best attempt. I am assuming you mean a whole-house HVAC unit, and that you are concerned with a possible power surge so you want to shut the unit off at the thermostat. If this is correct, you need to know that the thermostat doesn't control the HVAC unit the way a switch controls a light fixture. As long as your HVAC breaker is on, you will have AC power at the HVAC unit. This usually includes at least a condenser unit outside and a blower either outside or inside. All the thermostat does is tell the HVAC components when to use the power applied and when to do nothing. The power does not flow through the thermostat to the HVAC like power through a switch to a light. Think of it this way: 'Off' on the thermostat doesn't mean power off. It means 'power available, but unit not running'. So, if you want to protect your HVAC from the potential of a power surge you will have to shut off the circuit breaker(s) feeding the HVAC components, not the thermostat.
No. First, freezers don't have electronics that make them susceptible to surges like other equipment, at least in today's products. Second, a surge, if it damaged the freezer, would cause the entire contents to defrost rather than just part of the contents. The freeze would no longer work at all rather than just work poorly.
