G+_Madison Romero Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just keep in mind, you still will want to use some sort of surge protector. Don't want to fry your phone if you get a sudden surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Stephan Vermette Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Madison Romero While an induction coil alone will not protect you from a surge, the power is still coming from AC and will come out of an induction coil as AC. USB is 5VDC. So I'm guessing there still must be some sort of voltage regulator in the AC-DC converter bridge/rectifier. EDIT: It's not an induction coil - it takes the AC directly from the side screws. Hmm... Not too secure. Gapping and sparking can occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
