Eaton-Innovative Technology
Since
1980, Innovative Technology products have solved the most difficult
electrical transient problems for business, industry, government and
defense sectors. Now as a part of Eaton Corporation’s electrical
business, they are even better positioned to deliver state-of-the-art
customer solutions. They have been designing and manufacturing industry
leading transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) products products
for over 25 years. They hold the patents and intellectual resources
that have been leading the way in transient voltage surge suppression.
Innovative Technology products and technologies protect electrical,
data, telecom circuits and electronic equipment from the effects of
lightning induced voltages, external switching transients and
internally generated electrical transients.
The Cost of Downtime – The $26 Billion Per Year Problem
Your
power distribution system and attached load equipment is under constant
attack from various types of power line disturbances. Transient voltage
surges comprise the most severe, common and immediate danger to
sensitive electrical and electronic equipment. The cumulative effect of
transients causes semiconductor degradation, equipment destruction,
control process disruption and circuit board damage. Transients
frequently cause premature equipment failure,
resulting in costly
downtime and lost productivity. The cost, according to Business Week,
is an estimated $26 billion per year in lost time, equipment repair and
equipment replacement. All mission-critical electronic systems should
be shielded to prevent disruption, damage and destruction.
Sources of Surges
Although
external transient surges include lightning strikes, utility grid
switching and equipment action at adjacent buildings are easily
recognized high-energy surge events, they only account for 20% of all
surges faced by a facility. 80% of surges are the results of internal
switching transients (turning on/off motors, transformers,
photocopiers, etc.). Wiring, grounding errors and surges (also known as
transient voltages) are among the most common power quality issues
facing facilities today – resulting in safety concerns, equipment
damage and costly downtime.
TVSS is not luxury. It's a necessity.
In
today’s highly competitive markets, surge suppression is recognized as
the key to solving transient related power quality problems. Small
businesses, manufacturers, multinational corporations and defense
research facilities worldwide have learned that their initial
investments in surge suppression can be quickly returned by reducing
equipment damage, decreasing maintenance costs and improving system
uptime. Choosing a surge suppression manufacturer with a reputation for
quality products and services is vital to ensure your investments in
valuable systems, hardware and operations are safeguarded.
Eaton-Innovative Technology is that manufacturer.
The System ShieldŽ Solution
System
Shield is a proven, effective method for total facility protection.
This layered approach protects all of your electrical and electronic
equipment, from powerful motors to sophisticated lighting controls and
sensitive computer- based controllers. With System Shield, protection
begins at the incoming power panels and extends to system distribution
centers, panel breakers, points of use, and even individual equipment.
SDM
METRO can provide you with a comprehensive, facility-wide audit,
including system layouts, load equipment mixture, and transient surge
exposure levels. This on-site audit of your individual needs is a
service that has no equal in the TVSS industry, and assures you that
your Surge Protection solution provides optimal equipment protection.
