Question: Do I Need A Surge Suppressor for my treadmill, is a weslo g-30?????help me plss?


Question Description:


Answer#1: Most treadmills will have some electronics, from a variable speed motor control to fancier things like monitoring your heart rate etc. Any electronics can be damaged by a voltage surge or spike so I would consider it a cheap investment to get a surge protector for it. Since the treadmill motor can draw a fair amount of current, be sure to get a well-built unit, not the cheapest thing you can find.


Answer#2: No you don't NEED one for it to work. but the manufacturer suggests using one.No no nesesita uno para que funcione, pero weslo sugiere usar uno.


Answer#3: If the power surge is large enough (such as a lightning strike) any device plugged into a wall socket could get damaged. However, since treadmills do not typically have sophisticated electronics that are ultra sensitive to any power surge, I would say that you do not need to use one on the treadmill.


Answer#4: Unless you have an extra one lying around, no.
