In summary, scientists suggest that surges and spikes on household AC lines can be effectively dealt with by using surge protectors and voltage regulators. These devices help to regulate the flow of electricity and protect appliances from damage caused by sudden increases in voltage. Additionally, proper grounding and regular maintenance of electrical systems can also help to prevent surges and spikes. It is important for homeowners to be aware of the potential dangers of these electrical disturbances and take necessary precautions to protect their homes and appliances.
