Fridge Guard & TV Guard in Kenya: Protect Appliances From Power Surges
Quick answer

A fridge guard (voltage protector) cuts power to your appliance when voltage goes too high or too low, then waits a few minutes after power returns before reconnecting. That delay protects fridge and freezer compressors, which are easily damaged by the surge when KPLC power comes back. TV guards protect TVs, decoders and sound systems the same way.
