Surge protective devices Powering Business Worldwide

They can also be generated externally by events like lightning, grid switching or electrical equipment in adjacent buildings. Surges are high-energy, short-duration voltage events. Also referred to as transients, impulses or spikes, these electrical disturbances can damage or destroy sensitive microprocessor-based equipment. The most common source is internal devices powering on and off. These devices include: • Motors • Transformers • Photocopiers • Fluorescent lighting ballasts • Light dimmers • Variable frequency drives and more ■ I come from INTERNALLY EXTERNAL sources generated...
