Surge-Trap Surge Protectors
Voltage Surge & Damages • Surges can originate from inside or outside a facility – 60-80% of Surges originate from within the facility • Motors Turning On/Off • Lighting Loads On/Off 20% 5% • Surge Damages – Degrades equipment life – Disrupt system function – Immediate equipment destruction 15% 60% Facility Equipment Lightning Utility
Surge Protection Questions • What is Surge Protection? – A surge protective device is designed to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes. An “SPD” limits the voltage supplied to an electronic device by either blocking or shorting to ground any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold. • More Importantly, Why do I need it? – Think of surge protection as an inexpensive insurance policy.
