The microchips in energy-management systems (EMS) are especially vulnerable to damage due to voltage surges, but the addition of surge suppressors to cut off the peak of spikes at a certain level or the use of fiber-optic cable that transmits light signals instead of electricity can overcome the problem. Users are often unaware that lightning, utility-grid switching, or the shutting down of large equipment can cause surges that garble computer information. (DCK)
