But when looking for surge protectors with a special price online, you need to understand what you're buying. A simple protector will cost a few tens of shekels. A lightning-protected power strip with 6 outlets and high joule (energy absorption) - a bit more. But hey, we have interest-free installments. Don't skimp here.

How to Choose a Surge Protector (And No, It's Not All the Same)
This is where many people fail. They think a lightning protector is just a protective outlet you plug into the wall. Well, no. A refrigerator absolutely requires - a must - a protector with a delay. What's a delay for a refrigerator? A timer. When the power goes out and comes back, the protector waits 3-5 minutes before allowing current to pass to the refrigerator's compressor. If the current enters immediately, overload, your refrigerator will die prematurely. For a computer or TV, on the other hand, you don't need a delay. There, you need a surge protector with high energy absorption. Joules. The higher the better. Electrical safety is not a child's game.
I've prepared a small table for you. Not complicated. Take a look before you decide which surge protectors are recommended for you to take home:
| Type of Electrical Appliance | What to Look For (Critical Feature) | Real Talk Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator / Air Conditioner / Freezer | Delay (3-5 minutes) | Critical for the compressor! Don't buy a regular protector. Look for the inscription "Refrigerator Delay". |
| Flat Screen TV / Consoles | Lightning Protection and High Joule Absorption | Here you need a protected multi-outlet strip, maybe even with a USB connection if you're tidying up cables. |
| Expensive Desktop Computer | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or Strong Surge Protector | If there's a power outage - a UPS will give you time to save your work. A regular surge protector will only prevent a fire. |
| Washing Machine | Single Protected Outlet or Cordless | A simple protector, plug-and-socket goes into the wall. Saves a lot of problems with fried boards. |
And that's it. Not too much philosophy here. Decide what you need to protect, choose a protector with a standard mark, and close the case.
Questions People Always Ask (FAQ)
Why is it mandatory to use a surge protector with a delay for a refrigerator?
Because when the power drops and returns all at once, the refrigerator's compressor takes a current hit that can destroy it completely. The delay (the 3 to 5-minute timer) gives the system time to stabilize and the pressures in the compressor to drop before the power re-enters. Without it - your refrigerator is in real danger every winter.
What's the difference between a lightning protector and a surge protector?
Generally, on most devices today, it's combined. A lightning protector is supposed to handle a massive, sudden voltage spike (like a lightning strike nearby). A surge protector handles smaller, more continuous voltage fluctuations in the home electrical grid that cause cumulative damage to delicate electronics. It's advisable to buy a device that combines both.
How much does a recommended surge protector for a TV cost?
It varies, but usually it's in the range of 40 to 120 shekels, depending on whether you buy a single-outlet protector or a strip with 6 outlets. It's important to check the energy absorption (joule) rating. For an expensive TV, don't be stingy - get something quality, the price is still negligible compared to the screen's cost.
Do Topmarket surge protectors come with an official importer's warranty?
Of course. We only work with official importers and products that have passed the Israeli Standards Institute. We don't sell shoddy goods here, especially when it comes to electrical safety.
Where to buy surge protectors in Israel with fast delivery?
Well, where else... here at Topmarket. We offer completely secure purchasing, the option for interest-free installments, and a delivery system that will ensure the protector reaches you as quickly as possible to your home or a pickup point.
How to choose a surge protector for expensive electrical appliances?
Check three things: 1. That it has an Israeli standard mark. 2. Whether the device requires a delay (like refrigerator and air conditioner compressors) or not. 3. What the joule absorption level is - for computers and TVs, you need a high number. And if it's from a well-known company like GPT, Omega, or Hyundai - even better.
