Surge Protection Voltage Spikes

[kompressor]

I have been told that product defect of the MSD is rare and more often voltage spikes causes the damage. Will the 8830 protect against this? I know its a noise filter but what about spikes from what-ever sources? Somewhere along the line, someone suggested intalling some sort of voltage protection.

Thanks

Along with reducing or eliminating line noise, the 8830 filter will also guard against heavy voltage spikes or surges. Our ignition controls themselves are desinged in such a way that moderate fluctuations in the electrical system will not affect them. However, because the ignition is tied directly to the battery, there may be an instant where a large spike or surge can adamage the unit. Some of the causes can be linked to a low battery, defective alternator, welding on the vehicle, or using a battery charger to start the engine.
