SURGE PROTECTION: First Line of Defense in Limiting High-Impulse Transients
High-energy transients either externally or internally generated pose an
immediate threat to the reliability and performance of your sensitive
electronic equipment. SolaHD recommends placing high-energy Surge
Protective Devices (SPDs) on key panels throughout your facility.
Within your facility, motors, inductive loads and various equipment load
switching can cause damage or costly downtime.
Our surge-protective devices focus on limiting high-voltage spikes to a
level that is acceptable to most electronic equipment. Plus, they’re a great
fi rst line of defense, using components that are placed in parallel with
the line and serve as clamping mechanisms for high-energy impulses.
Protection at this level is referred to in the industry as Sine Wave Tracking
or electronic grade. Surge Protective Devices are typically installed at
service entrances and on larger distribution panels.
ACTIVE TRACKING FILTERING WITH SURGE PROTECTION: Provides Clean AC Power by Eliminating Low-Voltage Noise
Low-energy transients and high-frequency noise are the primary causes
for system disruption and long-term degradation of microprocessor-based
equipment within your facility. For more than 30 years, our Active Tracking
Filters have proven to be the most eff ective solution in critical equipment
protection within harsh industrial environments. Active Tracking Filters are
built upon a unique multi-stage hybrid design. Th is design creates a foundation
for a family of products that attenuate impulses that would normally go
untouched by standard, parallel clamping devices.
Changing technology and dependence on total automation processes within
modern facilities create a critical need for clean AC power at the equipment
level. Active Tracking Filters are a perfect solution for your microprocessorbased
products, including industrial PLCs, OEM applications and motion
control systems.
DATA/SIGNAL LINE SURGE PROTECTION: Designed to Protect Sensitive Instrumentation
The rapid development of automated controls, telecommunications and
fi re/alarm/security systems make it imperative to have properly coordinated
low-voltage surge protection. Modern networked industrial facilities require
error-free transmission of information for maximum productivity and
integrity of data, but these areas are often overlooked when it comes to
power protection.
The need to protect all susceptible low-voltage cable routes entering a facility
and at key points within the building is as critical as protecting the equipment
from high-energy impulses. Th e importance of protecting at this level grows
as your facility’s reliance on sensitive instrumentation, networked automation,
and uncorrupted data transmission increases. Our Data/Signal Line products
utilize high-speed, high-energy components that come in a variety of voltage
levels and unique packaging confi gurations.
HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOUR POWER?
Employing an entire facility protection strategy will safeguard the electrical system against most transients. Multi-stage protection
involves clamping the initial high energy surge,
filtering any remaining noise or transients to the protected sensitive equipment and
finally, protecting the data/signal lines entering or leaving the control panel or the factory floor. This coordination of devices provides
the lowest possible let through voltage to the equipment.
