Industry Leading Design & Performance
A Surge Protective Device is only as good as it’s durability, let-through voltage capability and user friendly functionality. Our engineering and design emphasis has always been focused on these simple yet critical factors and they are what separates our products from all others. A few of the key features include:
- Voltage Responsive Circuitry: Designed to mitigate repetitive high energy impulse transients generated by lightning, power system faults and load switching, the Optimal Response CircuitryTM is standard on all SineTamer® models. This multi-level hybrid network provides the brute strength and durability needed to handle repetitive high amplitude transients. Patened, internal, over-current fusing and component level thermal fusing assure these are the safest SPD devices available today.
- Frequency Attenuation Network: Protecting critical electronics and microprocessors requires the most advanced and capable suppression circuit available - The Frequency Attenuation Network circuit. Employing multi-stage hybrid technology, this circuit blends the high energy handling capability of the Voltage Responsive Circuitry with advanced frequency attenuation performance. The resulting hybrid circuit suppresses internally generated ring-wave transients down to harmless levels, yet it is still capable of handling thousands of repetitive high energy surges. This combination provides a level of durability and performance that is unmatched. It is the absolute best suppression circuit available today.
- Circuit Encapsulation: All SineTamer® devices utilize advanced circuit encapsulation technology. Circuit encapsulation is widely used in high-end mil-spec, industrial and commercial applications as a means of enhancing the performance and durability of electronic and electrical circuits.
- The Discrete “All Mode” Protection Advantage: Energy Control Systems is the only SPD company to offer a complete line of products featuring Discrete “All Mode” Protection (10 modes for 3 phase, 4 wire Wye and Delta circuits). This advanced circuit provides important benefits and performance advantages over “Reduced Mode” (7 or 4 modes ) devices that are supplied by other manufacturers. A few of these benefits include: Increased Surge Current Sharing; Increased Operational Life; Lowered Component Stress; Improved Durability; Bonding All Modes To The Same Potential; Improved Let-through Voltage
Parallel Connected Panel Models
The Most Advanced Surge Suppressor Available Today. The SineTamer® series of parallel connected panel models represent the state of the art in surge suppression design and performance. The project started with one very simple goal - designing the best performing, safest, surge suppression device in the world. The design team met this goal by blended advanced computer circuit modeling with the tried and true design principals learned over the past twenty-five years. One key design goal, established at very start of the project, was that the Advantage must have the absolute lowest Measured Limiting Voltage. No other performance metric is as critical to the survival of your mission critical electronics. Advanced, low impedance surge paths and high quality suppression components assure that the SineTamer® product will exceed your required protection levels.
Our product lines have continued to evolve to meet the widest range of needs. Our LA & RM series of panel mounted products are designed to meet the ever expanding International market requirements. We also have a complete line of Variable Frequency Drive, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and industrial power supply products designed specifically for these applications that will not only provide best in class surge and transient protection but work to prevent software confusion as well! Simply put the SineTamer® Series of surge protective devices is the absolute best suppression device available today!
