Only the surge voltage test is able to directly find stator windings with deteriorated turn insulation. By applying a high voltage surge between the turns, this test is an overvoltage test for the turn insulation, and may fail the insulation, requiring bypassing of the failed coil, replacement or rewind.
If more voltage is introduced than an electrical appliance is designed to handle, this is called a power surge or transient voltage. Any such voltage increase that lasts at least three nanoseconds is considered a surge. If the increase is only present for one or two nanosecond, that's called a power spike. Just like if having much more water in a hose than it can handle, having too strong a power surge can damage your electric appliance. The greater voltage that runs along the electric wires causes great heat that can burn up the wire. Even if the wire doesn't get burned up in a single power surge, the surge can damage the wire. So repeated occurrences of power surges can accumulate enough damage to the wires that the appliance eventually burns out.
The good news is that you can buy surge protectors to keep your electric appliances from frying if a power surge occurs. These power strips do more than just let you increase the number of outlets by plugging them into a single wall outlet. Whether the increased voltage can be classified as a surge or a spike, the surge protector uses its metal oxide varistor (MOV) to channel the extra voltage to the outlet's grounding wire. The MOV has three parts: a piece of metal oxide, and two semiconductors. The metal oxide is connected to each of the semiconductors. One semiconductor is connected to the grounding wire and the other one is connected to the power line. The MOV does nothing if the voltage is correct, but it is able to divert only the extra voltage during a power surge to the grounding line, making sure that the right voltage is still flowing to the appliance. This design ensures that your appliance can still operate, even during a power surge or spike.

How to Win on the High Voltage Power Surge Slot
Your biggest wins will come from the colorful electrical equipment symbols. These are stacked 4 rows high on the reels (the grid is 5 reels and 4 rows with 50 win-lines). You’ll sometimes see just the top or bottom of these designs. When you get the full view, they do look impressive. If you combine these with the (also stacked) wild symbols it is possible to win on all 50 of the win-lines at the same time on a favorable spin.
Playing card symbols make up the bulk of your wins, these are colorful (even a little retro) designs over what looks like a metal plate.
Super Respin Slots Free Games
On the whole this is a solid slot without too many gimmicks. The one real feature this game does have is nicely choreographed. You’ll win as usual, see your win total added to the usual box below the reels and then after a pause of just a split second – the screen will buzz, shale and you see a red color with the word ‘Respins’ across the screen.
This is the random respins on-reel feature. It can appear after any winning spin. This is not just a one and done, you can get up to 7 respins in a row, each of them having the chance of adding extra wins to your total. The base game remains the same for these – with no extra wilds or stacked symbols (though these are already numerous on the reels).
Randomly Awarded Progressive Jackpots
Respin Slot Games
There are two jackpots associated with this game. These are displayed in the top part of the cabinet, one is large and the other relatively small. They are jackpots for the individual machine, rather than linked or networked ones.
You can win these completely at random (much like the respins!). You’ll complete a spin and see a box appear along with a ringing alarm, announcing one or both jackpots have been one. There is no alternative way via the game play of triggering these jackpots.
