Surge Suppression Incorporated Discusses The Transient Environment and Facility Wide Optimal Protection Network TM
(Part Two)
|
|
The Solution -
Facility Wide Optimal Protection NetworkTM
The Surge Suppression Incorporated facility wide Optimal Protection NetworkTM plan consists of various types of high quality surge protection devices strategically placed at key locations within the power, data and telecom systems. The type, number and location of devices is determined by a system survey of your facility and analysis of its unique requirements. This layered defense approach closes all available transient paths and reduces or eliminates the destructive effects of both external and internal transients. Even during the most severe conditions, your systems survive and you stay up and running!
1. Service Entrance Locations
The layered defense system begins at the service entrance. At this location, high energy transients are suppressed to levels that subsequent downstream TVSS devices can eliminate.
2. Distribution Panel Locations
This second defense layer provides further reduction and elimination of any transient energy remaining from the service entrance location during power system faults or severe lightning strikes.
3. Telecom & Data Circuits
Telecom, data and control circuits are extremely vulnerable to damage. Even very low level transients can damage I/O ports and take a system down. These mission critical circuits must be protected at all building entry points and at selected high risk internal locations.
4. Branch Panel Locations
Branch and sub-panel locations typically feed everything from general purpose loads to mission critical and high dollar value systems. These locations are crucial in the overall protection of your facility.
5. Dedicated Load and Point-of-Use Locations
Very often, individual loads must be isolated from each other and from close proximity transient generating locations in order to function properly. Protection at these locations also mitigates the adverse affects of cumulative transient damage. |
IEEE Standard 1100 (Emerald Book), Section 8.6.4 Premise Electrical Surge Protection
In addition to surge protective devices installed in the service entrance equipment, it is recommended that additional surge protective devices of listed Category "B" or Category "A", as specified by IEEE Std C62.41-1991, be applied to downstream electrical switchboards, and panel boards, and panel boards on secondary or separately derived systems if they support communications, information technology equipment, signaling, television or other form of electronic load equipment. |
| About Us |

|
Surge Suppression Incorporated and our affiliated companies are manufacturers and suppliers of multiple lines of quality Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) devices for AC and DC power, data, and telecommunications with voltages from .5V to 7200V. We started business in 1982 as an independent distributor of TVSS devices. Over the years, we have provided both quality TVSS devices and quality service to our customers. Due to the original TVSS manufacturer's sale to a foreign corporation, we decided to found Surge Suppression Incorporated. Starting with a core group of experienced and dedicated TVSS industry professionals, our stated purpose was the manufacture of TVSS devices which would not only exceed the standards of the products we sold before, but set a new standard for quality, performance and design ingenuity. Hard work, dedication and the continuing addition of experienced TVSS professionals and resources have all contributed to our rapid growth and industry leadership position.
Surge Suppression Incorporated has extensive application experience across a full range of industrial, commercial and Department of Defense sectors. We value each customer and are committed to providing only the highest level of service and product quality. This commitment can be seen in the success we have achieved with the most demanding and discriminating of customers. After extensive research and testing, an affiliated company was awarded a 2.8 million dollar contract with the U.S. Navy in 2001 to provide TVSS devices for shipboard applications. We have also provided TVSS devices for a number of U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines, U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force installations throughout the United States and overseas. We are very proud to be an active participant in these vital efforts.
Surge Suppression Incorporated has grown and expanded throughout the U.S. and international markets. We currently have sales offices located across the U.S. and in various locations in Europe, Asia, Central America, South America and the Middle East. During this period of rapid growth, we have maintained our commitment to customer service, technical support and responsiveness. |
