School Recognition Display Surge Protection Checklist: Protect Screens and Players
A school recognition display surge protection checklist gives athletic directors, facilities coordinators, and IT teams a structured process for verifying that every touchscreen hall of fame, digital award board, or interactive record display is electrically protected before a voltage event—not after one—turns a $12,000 recognition screen into an expensive repair ticket. Surge events at schools arrive from multiple directions: lightning coupling through utility lines, motor loads from HVAC compressors and kitchen equipment cycling on and off, and utility switching during peak demand. Each event can deliver a transient voltage spike lasting microseconds but carrying enough energy to degrade display electronics, corrupt media player storage, or trigger immediate hardware failure.
