Power surge damage — Limassol, Limassol
A power surge — a sudden spike in voltage lasting microseconds to milliseconds — can destroy sensitive electronics, damage appliances, and in severe cases melt wiring insulation or start fires. Common causes include lightning strikes, utility grid switching, and large appliances cycling on and off. A licensed electrician can install whole-house surge protection at the main panel, check grounding, and assess damage to circuits after a surge event.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Limassol
Cyprus runs 240V/50Hz with EU-style sockets, and summer AC peak demand drives voltage spikes across the grid. Limassol's tower blocks carry far heavier electrical loads than typical Cypriot stock — three-phase supply, lift systems, and central plant — so faults here are higher-stakes. Electricians must hold a category-appropriate licence from the Ministry of Energy.
