Surge Protection Devices (SPD) can offer excellent results in helping reduce electrical failure and repair expenses in commercial and industrial facilities. As education increases in maintenance of microprocessor based equipment, so does the awareness of the need for surge suppression. The necessity of protecting equipment from damaging transients in now becoming more commonplace throughout costconscious, maximum production oriented companies.
Originally, surge suppression technology consisted of a single device, normally a single gas tube, carbon block, MOV (metal-oxide varistor), transorb, surgistor or similar type of electronic component application.
The second generation of surge protection technology is commonly referred to as a "staged" or "hybrid network." These networks consist of a combination of the surge suppression components mentioned as above, arranged in stages so as to interact the various strengths of each device.
Specifications in performance of these types of devices can be misleading, due to their deterioration as a result to transient activity. It has long been realized that if an efficient process could be found for dissipating the heat from the electronics within the SPD, the electronics could be protected, providing an extended life for the surge protection device. This is, in fact, the technology utilized in "SineTamer'®” products.
This new type of surge protection devices incorporates technology from both electronic and chemical sciences. It is engineered with an electronic hybrid network design in combination with a complex solidified chemical compound having high energy dissipation properties. The use of chemical compound having these properties overcomes the problem of electronic component deterioration. This is achieved by an interaction between the electronic network and the chemical compounds in a thermal conversion process.
As the electronic components "trap" the surges, the chemicals interact at the reactive level, drawing the heat out of the electronics, dissipating it at a rate faster than it can build up in the electronic componentry. The electronic components witness only the reactive level of heat as the chemical completes its thermal conversion and dissipation process. Thus, the electronics are spared from the consequences of the destructive heat level build up that is traditionally experienced by the suppression devices utilizing only electronic components.
This advanced, electronic-chemical link technology gives this suppression device an unmatched service life, superior surge suppression, and a constant level of performance. Having overcome the problem of destructive heat as a result of transients, the performance specifications of the SineTamer® do not decline during its service life. The electronic components are never over stressed or over heated. The service life span for SineTamer® products is far in excess of the 25 year warranty period based on calculated data collected from in field use.
