| Benefits of TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SURGE SUPPRESSORS (TVSS) |
The immediate threat of damage to your electrical components and equipment by
high voltage transients, spikes, and surges would be eliminated. Your transient
voltage surge suppression equipment would also guard against long term
deterioration effects of transient voltages on computer chips and printed
circuits boards.
Other Benefits Include Protection against lightning induced transients
voltages.
- Reduction due to stress and failure from semiconductors.
- Reduction of computer logic loss.
- Reduction of microprocessor malfunction.
- Extended light bulb life expectancy.
- Reduction of equipment failure and down time.
- Improved overall efficiency of the entire electrical system.
- Protection against internally induced transient voltages.
- Protection of computer chips in sensitive electronic equipment.
- Reduction of computer data storage errors.
- Reduction of insulation breakdown in motors.
- Improved operating efficiency of air conditioning systems.
- Reduction of maintenance costs for all electrical equipment.

| An Overview of TVSS In Various Locations of Your Electrical System |
| MAIN ELECTRICAL SERVICE |
| The purpose of a surge suppressor installed in your main electrical service is
to prevent transient voltages that originate outside from entering into your
whole system. Lightning that strikes either directly or close to your home or a
remote utility line can cause this type of transient voltage. When neighboring
plants or work areas start or stop large equipment (motors, presses etc.)
voltage spikes can also travel into your system. |
| DISTRIBUTION SUB PANELS |
The purpose of a surge suppressor installed in your electric panel is to prevent
transient voltages that originate inside the building from surging through
interconnected circuits at your location. When large motors, relays, and other
inductive devices are shut down the voltage that was flowing to them has nowhere
to go and must be absorbed into the surrounding wires as well as into the other
devices.
Some transient voltages can reach as high as 2,500 volts. Although these
voltages reach that magnitude in a fraction of a second the results can be very
damaging.
Imagine what that does to your computer or other valuable electronic
equipment. |
| Plug in protection "OUTLET STRIPS" |
These types of surge suppressors should have a response time of less than one
nanosecond. They should also handle a peak surge of 39,000 amps total, and be
rated for 480 joules. All of them should also bear the 1449 UL listing.
The purpose of transient voltage protection installed at an individual piece
of electronic equipment is to prevent even small transient voltages from falsely
triggering semiconductors into conduction and thereby upsetting the data
processing logic, timing, and sequencing. This type of protection for data
processing equipment reduces maintenance costs and increases the life expectancy
of the computer chips used in the equipment. |

| Sine Control TVSS |
 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.
