	Power Conditioning
		Power problems are the great killer of computer equipment, and often data as well.
		Because electric power is so "normal", and because it does its work silently, (and often slowly), it is rarely suspected.
		Surge and static drain devices are made to protect all varieties of serial and network cabling from problems of this kind.

	UL \| Surge Suppressor Safety Tips
		Power surges -- also known as transient voltage surges-- are brief spikes of power that can travel through power lines.
		Surge suppressors are not lightning protection devices - they cannot protect your home or your home's internal electrical wiring from a direct strike.
		Surge suppressors can, however, protect your equipment from voltage surges caused by unexpected occurrences such as a utility pole downed by a storm.

	The Austin Chronicle Politics: Power Surge
		Active Power hopes to steal market share from the battery makers with its system, which uses a solid, 600-pound disk of high carbon steel that spins at 7,700 revolutions per minute while floating on magnetic bearings inside a vacuum-sealed steel shell.
		Electric power shortages in some areas of the country are leading several high tech companies to consider building their own small-scale power plants in case the main power grid fails.
		Capable of generating six kilowatts of power (enough for six homes), the machine was designed for use in cellular base stations, a market that is exploding thanks to the growth in wireless communications.

	Howstuffworks "How Surge Protectors Work"
		When you put together a computer system, one piece of standard equipment you'll probably buy is a surge protector.
		But the other function of a surge protector power strip -- protecting the electronics in your computer from surges in power -- is far more important.
		In this edition of HowStuffWorks, we'll look at surge protectors, also called surge suppressors, to find out what they do, when you need them, and how well they work.

	LIGHTNING AND SURGE PROTECTION
		Such power surges and spikes are most often caused by lightning strikes.
		When a lightning-induced power surge is coupled into your computer equipment any one of a number of harmful events may occur.
		The delayed surge pulse, now of reduced amplitude, is impressed on the avalanche diode which responds in about one nanosecond or less and can dissipate 1,500 Watts while limiting the voltage to 18 Volts for EIA-232 circuits.

		The @Power strip had a 3-4 second delay between turning the computer on/off and the rest of the outlets activating.
		When the whole system was powered off, it was still using about as much power as my refrigerator to be ready for a 'warm start'.
		The power on/power off levels differ by 20%, so that you can't get a 'cycle' of powering on and off going by setting the trimmer right at the threshold.

		A transient surge protector is a device which is typically used to protect electronic equipment from damage or destruction caused by transient voltages and surge currents.
		These transients and surges are then carried through the supply lines to all of the other loads in the vicinity.
		As the transients and surges increase in level, their destructive power is carried further in distance thereby reaching more sensitive electronic equipment.

		The power line is used as a network backbone -- it can carry data traffic for something under a mile ( or further if a repeater is installed in the line) before it has to be converted to some other medium like optical fiber or coaxial cable.
		So while the fingers and toes of the network are carrying the current that powers your electric blanket, the arms and legs of the network look like any other ISP.
		This means that power could be made almost free at 4 a.m.
