POWER QUALITY BACKGROUND & ELEC-SAVER TVSS

Power Quality Background Why is it Such a Concern Many people blame the power utility for degrading power when in most cases, the problem is caused by poor power distribution within a facility. Equipment such as computers, TVs, phone systems, alarm systems, production equipments, process controls and even heating , ventilation and air-conditioning system in your building use microprocessor technology to function. As a result you must ensure that your electrical environment has a good power to have reliable system operation.

Major Causes of Power Line Disturbances Overloaded circuits Power Factor Correction Capacitors Fast Switching of Large Loads Incorrect or Poor Wiring Connections

How Power Line Disturbances Affect Your Equipment Interruption/Dropouts/Outages Data loss Equipment downtime Computer lock-ups Clock timing errors Impulsive Transients Electronics damage Insulation breakdown in transformers and motors Data errors, data loss

How Power Line Disturbances Affect Your Equipment Swell/Surge/Over-voltage Discomfort from flickering lights Computer damage Degradation of power protection equipment Sags/Under-voltage Equipment shutdown Power-down circuitry in power supply operates incorrectly Computer lock-ups Diminished speed of disk drives (data errors)

How Power Line Disturbances Affect Your Equipment Frequency Variation Incorrect clock timing Writing errors in storage devices Harmonics Distortion Overheating of motors and transformers Frequent tripping of circuit breakers Frequent fuse blowing Capacitor failures

How Power Line Disturbances Affect Your Equipment Harmonics Distortion Overloading of transformer neutrals Telephone interference Misoperation of SCR drives PLC and computer failures Insulation failures Severe lamp flicker

Elec-Saver TVSS Elec-Saver TVSS is an electrical device designed for homes, businesses and manufacturing companies to filter out the damaging effects of transient spikes before they reach the electrical equipment or machinery. Elec-Saver TVSS was invented twenty years ago and has been improved to peak efficiency and durability. Elec-Saver TVSS is a nationally known brand name and is unsurpassed in its ability to instantaneously remove the transients and other forms of electrical pollution.
