Systems and methods described herein relate to managing power systems. A power supply system may include a power control system. The power control system may monitor the power generated for carrying content to end destinations, such as a playback device. When a current surge is detected, the power control system may determine that a surge protector of the power supply system has activated. The power monitoring system may modify the generated power to reset the surge protector prior to a standard resetting event. For example, the power monitoring system may switch the polarity of the generated current at a quicker frequency than the normal frequency of the power supply. The quicker reset of the surge protector may limit any potential damage components of the power supply may experience due to the surge protector being in the active state.
