The
conventional surge protector on the right can cause you a lot of harm
endangering your electronic equipment, possibly setting a fire to your
home or business.
Conventional surge
protectors start to diminish as soon as they are put into use. When a
conventional surge suppressor fails (and they all
will fail eventually -- read their disclaimers) they either:
- Leave the
current flowing without surge protection for the next surge or
- shut off the
current.
When failure is not an
option, select a surge suppressor that will not fail and is not only UL
Listed for safety but also certified for endurance and performance --
something most manufacturers will not do, knowing their products will
fail. Zero Surge products are certified to withstand at least 10 years
of the worst case power line surges. Zero
Surge now approaching their 17th year and still no failures nor
degradation due to surge related issues.
Zero
Surge Filters carry the highest
government rating
1000 surges
at 6000 volts
and 3000 amps.
Protect that expensive computer,
Plasma TV, HDTV, Home theater system, and satellite receivers with
the best, Zero Surge. As an added
bonus, the Zero Surge technology removes the power line noise that can
degrade audio/video signals. Don’t
wait for your equipment to suffer damage before investing in series mode
surge protection.
POINT
OF USE, TRADITIONAL SURGE PROTECTORS, SHUNT THE SURGE TO GROUND AT
THE COMPUTER, WHERE IT LEAPS ACROSS SERIAL
PORTS, NETWORK
CONNECTIONS, ETC. DOING ITS DEADLY
WORK.
Interconnected
(networked) systems share common power and data lines form circuits
between themselves via the ground wire (both referenced at the load). A
power line surge diverted to the ground wire will make its way to the
chassis, through the motherboard onto and through the data lines because
the power line ground is used as a voltage reference and therefore is
also connected at the motherboard and to the data ports of the rest of
the connected system. This is where most data line surges originate.
Problems
when you are using standby generators and your MOV type suppressors:
Standby
generators used in critical applications can experience brief voltage
overshoot during start up, load changes, and with contaminated fuel.
Voltage overshoot will stress fixed clamping level (MOV Type)
suppressors, leading to premature and unpredictable failure.
Zero
Surge filters use Spectrum Wide Voltage Range Technology effectively
functions from 85 volts all the way to 265 volts and anywhere in
between.
