Appliances like fridges, microwaves and TVs are especially vulnerable when power returns with a surge or low voltage. Unplug sensitive items during an outage, leave one light on to see when power is back, and switch things on gradually, as KPLC itself asks, to avoid overloading the network.
Key takeaways
- Unplug fridges, TVs and microwaves.
- Leave one light on to see the return.
- Switch things on gradually.
- A voltage protector or surge strip automates this.
01What to look for before you buy
- Unplug the fridge or use a fridge guard with a restart delay
- Unplug the TV, decoder, microwave and computer
- Leave one outside light on
- Wait a few minutes before reconnecting
- Switch on heavy loads such as geysers and cookers last

05Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to leave things plugged in?
It is riskier. Voltage spikes on return are a common cause of failures.

It waits a few minutes before restoring power and cuts out for high or low voltage.
