Surge Suppression Systems - Sine Control
HOW SINE CONTROL WORKS

SINE CONTROL Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (TVSS) devices are a passive, multi-staged hybrid, high energy parallel device, designed to react to the onset of surges with fast rise times, high amplitude ranges, such as that which follows sags or other external or atmospheric induced impulses. SINE CONTROL devices sense the fast ramp of the transient and automatically fixes on the peak of the line voltage wave form. SINE CONTROL devices incorporate sine wave tracking, designed to ‘float’ with the rise and fall of the peak of the wave form without creating wave shape distortion. All response times including sets, resets, transfers from the first stage to the second stage and back to the first stage, are within 1-2 nanoseconds. SINE CONTROL devices are designed to handle a 120% normal line voltage.

Technical Specifications

SINE CONTROL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a pioneer in the Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) industry, has developed a sophisticated electronic suppression device that offers the ultimate in transient protection for your expensive microprocessor controlled equipment.

Sine Control’s proprietary PARALLEL DESIGN eliminates the necessity to match the amperage ratings.  When tested to the ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991/ UL 1449 Second Edition, Standard for Safety, its hybrid multistage circuitry will suppress (clamp) transient surges and spikes in all modes and bi-directionally, as listed below.

Category A waveform (6kV, 200amps, 0.5us, 100kHz):  TWO (2) VOLTS of the peak of the sine wave.  Measured from the baseline at the 90º point of the power sine wave (@ WAVEFORM PEAK).

Category B ringwave (6kV, 500amps, 0.5us, 100kHz): TEN (10) VOLTS of the peak of the sine wave. Measured from the baseline at the 90º point of the power sine wave (@ WAVEFORM PEAK).

Category B impulse (6kV, 1.2/50us, 3kA): THIRTY (30) VOLTS of the peak of the sine wave.  Measured from the baseline at the 90º point of the power sine wave (@ POSITIVE WAVEFORM PEAK).

 


Series 1

PowerPAK PDUThe plug-in Duplex, Fourplex and wire-in Series I devices offer 20,000 surge amps per mode (L-N, L-G, N-G) are ideally suited for isolating extremely sensitive equipment. Especially in areas where the sensitive electronic equipment is not on a dedicated line. What many fail to realize is that all copiers, lazier printers, coffee pots and etc. generate transients and yet they are also susceptible to transients they generated. A SINE CONTROL device will not only protect the equipment plugged into it, it also prevents the transients generated by the equipment from affecting other equipment. The Series 1 Fourplex is ideal in these environments for each pair of receptacles are isolated from the other.


Series 2

PowerPAK PDUThe Series 2 wire-in devices are rated at 40,000 surge amps per phase and suited for low transient exposure level. They can be installed at branch panels with up stream protection i.e.; computer rooms, electronic lighting panels, office branch panels or nurses stations in hospitals and etc.. The Series 2 is also used at main entry panels in non-lightning environments where the transient intensity is low i.e.; commercial, professional and residential structures.


 


Series 4

PowerPAK PDUThe Series 4 wire-in devices are rated at 60,000 surge amps per phase and were designed to suppress transients generated from welders, switching of heavy loads, etc., which are common to agricultural and industrial environments. Ideally suited for manufacturers who incorporate Robotics, CNC equipment utilizing CAD systems.

 


Series 6

PowerPAK PDUThe Series 6 wire-in devices are rated at 100,000 surge amps per phase, developed to suppress high energy surges and transients caused by switching of extremely heavy loads as well as periodic lightning induced transients. Excellent for the main entry panels in industrial environments, radar, broadcast transmitters and microwave repeater sites. Also suitable for hospital applications i.e. main entry panels and radiology labs.

 


Series 8

PowerPAK PDUThe Series 8 wire-in devices are rated at 150,000 surge amps per phase, developed to suppress massive high energy surges and transients caused by switching of extremely heavy loads as well as lightning induced transients. Excellent for the main entry panels in environments where lightning is a major concern. Ideally suited for AM & FM broadcast transmitters, cellular, radar and microwave repeater sites. The Series 8 offers a remote failure detection circuit option. It offers two (2) normally open and two (2) normally closed dry contacts for remote failure warning. This feature enables the end user to determine the suppression integrity of the device from another location.

 


Series 10

PowerPAK PDUThe Series 10 wire-in devices are rated at 200,000 surge amps per phase, developed for the most intense environments. It will suppress massive high energy surges and transients caused by switching of extremely heavy loads and frequently induced lightning transients. Excellent for the main entry panels in environments where lightning is most intense as experienced in the Southeast of the United States. Ideally suited for AM & FM broadcast transmitters, cellular, radar and microwave repeater sites. The Series 10 offers a remote failure detection circuit option. It offers two (2) normally open and two (2) normally closed dry contacts for remote failure warning. This feature enables the end user to determine the suppression integrity of the device.
