Do computer manufacturers build transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) and/or electronic filtering into their products?
There are two primary reasons why virtually no U.S. computer manufacturers include transient voltage surge suppression or suppression/filtering in their products: size and cost. With the advent of switch-mode power supplies and increasing market demand, computers and related peripheral equipment are likely to continue becoming smaller and less expensive. However, the quality of the power remains in the hands of the end-user. Almost all computer manufacturers make mention in their operation manuals of the need for quality electronic grade power to assure proper equipment operation.
