Modern electronics are more sensitive to power fluctuations due to smaller components

Modern electronic devices are more susceptible to power fluctuations due to their smaller, more densely packed components that operate at lower voltages. Unlike older appliances with simpler designs, contemporary devices like smartphones, smart TVs, and even refrigerators contain sophisticated microprocessors and integrated circuits that are highly sensitive to even brief voltage spikes or drops. This increased sensitivity, while enabling greater energy efficiency and advanced features, means that power disturbances can more easily interfere with or damage these delicate circuits. AI
