What is Type 1 Type 2 and Type 3 surge protection?

Type 1, 2, and 3 surge protection protects against malfunctions and defects caused by overvoltages. In the absence of effective protection, high costs are likely due to system failures. In the worst-case scenario, the affected equipment will need to be repaired or replaced.
