Current Limiting with Safetec Technology Conventional Technology In the event of a network failure the current starts flowing and reaches the peak value. The current is limited with Safetec technology. The ohmic value of the current limiter escalates, the current value decreases. The current value is decreasing until the current value stabilizes to a few mA. Driven by the need for higher reliability, system cost reductions and market needs, Safetec technology addresses significant performance improvements in a new industrial design. The patented Safetec technology serves as a current limiter in...

ProGRID Monitoring Surge currents can cause loss of data transmission, switch tripping, disturbance of machine control systems and a slow but noticeable degradation of circuit elements. In addition, a surge can be an indicator of a short circuit which causes currents of power to travel along unintended paths with little or no electrical impedance, for example after a blackout or wiring insulation damage. Raycap’s ProGRID surge and lightning counter solutions have different capabilities that can sense, record and transmit the occurrence of otherwise undetectable surge currents, enabling users...
