Part 1—Surge Protective Device Specification Guide for Low Voltage Power Distribution Systems
This specification guide is Part 1 of a series of such guides that is intended to provide guidance on the evaluation, specification and/or use of surge protective devices (SPDs) deployed in low voltage power distribution system applications. This specification guide describes a uniform specification methodology for SPDs, containing at least one non-linear component, that are […]
Susceptibility of Electrical and Electronic Components to Surge Damage
The NEMA Low Voltage Surge Protection Devices, 05VS, has been asked to provide an overview of electrical and electronic equipment surge susceptibility. This overview will help the electrical community, engineers, consumers, and technicians understand the various transient conditions to which electrical and electronic equipment may be subjected. The intent is not to evaluate individual companies’ […]
Surge Protection – Keeping your Electronics and Home Safe
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association estimates that 60-80% of surges originate from internal sources (within a home or business). Keep your valuable electronics safe by protecting them from the surges that can damage or destroy them. What is a power surge? A power surge is a sudden and unwanted increase in voltage that can damage, degrade, […]
Safeguard Your Electronics with Surge Protectors PSA
Expensive electronics such as home theater systems or computers are purchased more often during the holiday season than any other time of the year. ESFI offers the following suggestions to help guard these and other high-end appliances against damage from electrical surges this holiday season.
Surge and Protect 2014
What is a “Power Surge”? A power surge, or transient voltage, is a sudden and unwanted increase in voltage that can damage, degrade or destroy the sensitive electronic equipment in your home or business. Causes: The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) estimates that 60-80% of surges are created within a facility, such as when large appliances, like […]
