  1. surge suppressor

    A surge suppressor, also known as a surge protector, is a device designed to protect electrical appliances from voltage spikes. It attempts to limit the voltage supplied to an electric device by either blocking or shorting to ground any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold. This is typically achieved by using one or more components that absorb the excess electrical energy, thus preventing it from reaching the connected equipment.
