ITPEC IP April 2026 Question 60
ITPEC IP April 2026 — Question 60 of 100
Install surge-protection devices — they divert or clamp transient overvoltage caused by lightning.
Surge protectors on power and communication lines prevent a brief high-voltage spike from driving damaging current through PCs and network equipment.
Answer (b)
Why not others: (a) reduces environmental impact or energy use; (c) changes network connectivity; (d) supplies temporary power during an outage, but ordinary UPS functionality is not the specific protection against lightning surges.
Key rule: Use surge protection for overvoltage spikes and a UPS for continued power during interruptions; the hazards and controls differ.
