Know How of Surge Protection Devices
A power surge is a sudden and unwanted increase in voltage that can damage, degrade, or destroy electronic equipment. Surges can originate from electric utilities or lightning or other electric faults. A low-voltage surge protective device (SPD) limits transient voltages by diverting or limiting surge current and SPDs are a cost-effective solution to prevent downtime, improve system and data reliability, and eliminate equipment damage caused by transient voltages and surges for power and signal lines. Is surge protection right for you? Are you experiencing damage to electrical, electronic or communication equipment due to power surges or transient voltages? Or is there a risk of damage occurring due to an unstable power supply or lightning strike? If your answer to any of the above question is affirmative, then Surge protection device is a necessity. When selecting an SPD for any given application, there are several considerations that must be made: Application – to ensure that t
