Why is a surge protector good for a Starlink System?
A surge protector is beneficial for a Starlink system for several reasons:
1. Protection against power surges: Starlink hardware, such as the satellite dish and router, contains sensitive electronics that can be damaged by power surges. A surge protector helps prevent these devices from being affected by sudden increases in voltage, which can occur due to lightning strikes or power grid issues.
2. Ensuring system reliability: Damage to Starlink hardware can disrupt your internet connection and require costly repairs or replacements. By using a surge protector, you can help ensure the reliability and longevity of your Starlink system.
3. Protecting other connected devices: A surge protector typically has multiple outlets, allowing you to connect other devices such as computers, TVs, and smart home devices. By using a surge protector, you can protect these devices from power surges as well.
4. Peace of mind: Knowing that your Starlink system and other connected devices are protected by a surge protector can provide peace of mind, especially in areas prone to electrical storms or power fluctuations.
We often use an HPM 12 Outlet or HPM 5 Outlet Surge Protector Powerboard. While powerboards vary in surge protection rating (Jules Rating), our view is that any protection is better than no protection.
Alternatively, you could consider a UPS for your Starlink. Most UPS units offer battery backup, Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), and Surge Protection in one unit.
