The difference between TV guard voltage protector and power strip

TV guard voltage protectors and power strips (sockets) are two different electrical devices, and their roles and functions are very different:

Function-TV guard voltage protector VS Power strips

TV guard voltage protector Features:

TV guard voltage protectors (also called powTV guard voltage protectors) are mainly used to protect electronic devices such as TVs from power problems such as voltage fluctuations, surges, and excessive current. It can cut off the power supply through the built-in protection circuit to prevent damage to electrical appliances when there is an abnormality in the power grid (such as too high or too low voltage, lightning overcurrent, etc.). TV guard voltage protectors can increase the service life of electrical appliances.

Power strips Features:

Power strips (also called power strips or socket extension cords) are designed to expand the number of sockets and allow multiple electrical appliances to be connected to one power socket at the same time. They usually do not have voltage protection functions and mainly provide power distribution.

TV guard voltage protectors VS Power strips Functional focus

TV guard voltage protectors Function:

The focus is on voltage stability protection, with functions such as overload protection, overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, and surge protection. It helps to avoid damage to electrical appliances caused by lightning strikes or sudden changes in power.

Power strips Function:

The focus is on providing more sockets so that multiple devices can use power simultaneously. Socket strips generally do not have voltage or current protection functions (unless they are smart socket strips with protection functions or socket strips with insurance).

Scope of application

TV guard voltage protector application:

Designed for sensitive electronic equipment such as TVs, computers, and audio equipment. Suitable for home or office environments, especially in areas with large voltage fluctuations.

Socket strips application:

Suitable for any device that needs to be connected to a power source, widely used in homes and offices, especially in places where multiple sockets are required.

Appearance and structure

TV guard voltage protector:

Usually a larger device, similar in appearance to a power socket, but with protection circuits, surge suppression devices, etc. Generally, there will be an indicator light to show the voltage status or working status.

Socket strips:

The appearance is relatively simple, usually long strips or squares, with multiple sockets, which may include switches, indicator lights, etc.

Socket strips VS TV guard voltage protector Price

TV guard voltage protector Price:

Due to the complex protection circuit contained in it, the price is generally more expensive than ordinary socket strips.

Socket strips Price:

Usually cheaper, the price depends on the brand, number of sockets, function, etc.

Summary:

TV guard voltage protectors are mainly used to protect electrical equipment from power problems such as voltage fluctuations. They are a kind of safety protection device.

Socket strips provide more sockets to facilitate multiple electrical appliances to be connected to the power supply at the same time, and usually have no protection function.

If you need to protect the safety of sensitive equipment such as TVs, you should choose a TV guard voltage protector; if you just want to expand the number of sockets, you can choose an ordinary socket strip.
