How to Protect Your Laptop During Dumsor in Ghana

Dumsor (load shedding) is a reality for many Ghanaians, and sudden power cuts can damage your tech equipment over time. Voltage spikes when power returns are the biggest threat to your laptop, monitor, and other electronics.

The Real Risk

When power cuts and returns suddenly, the voltage spike can fry your laptop's power supply, damage your monitor, or corrupt data on external drives. Over time, even small fluctuations reduce the lifespan of your electronics.

Essential Protection Gear

• UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) — gives you 15-30 minutes to save work and shut down properly
• Surge Protector — blocks voltage spikes from reaching your equipment
• Power Bank / Portable Power Station — keeps you working during extended outages
