About Full Coverage Strategy

Installation on all panels provides the best protection possible and offers maximum benefit in regards to reduced maintenance, reduced downtime, reduced repairs, and extended equipment life.

Multiple organizations strongly recommend this type of approach:

  • The IEEE (Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers) and the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association specify installation of a “cascaded” protection system to address transient voltage surges.
  • Hartford Steam Boiler Company, one of the leading insurers in the United States, recommends installing suppression in a “zoned approach.”
  • The National Lightning Protection Association recommends a “planned approach.
ADVANTAGES

Coordinated follow-On Protection
If any device fails, there are additional devices installed which continue to provide protection.

Load Sharing
Multiple devices can “share the load”.  This increases the life of individual units and allows a far greater amount of
protection than is possible.  Physical limitations to sizing is bypassed by splitting load amongst multiple panels. 

Internal Load Isolation
This configuration provides maximum isolation of loads within the facility.  Since transient activity produced by equipment
must pass through an electrical panel to attack other devices that share the panel, the surge arrester/suppressor is in the ideal position to divert transient activity away from the equipment…as far as possible from the equipment.

More Cost Effective
This configuration provides maximum isolation of loads within the facility.  Reduced maintenance costs, repair costs, downtime costs…and the increase in equipment efficiency and lifespan will quickly return investment costs. 

WHY IS STEDI-POWER THE BEST SOLUTION?

Your electrical system is exactly as it is described…a SYSTEM.  The same approach should be taken in protecting your facility where different stages of protection, working as a SYSTEM provide the maximum benefit and protection possible. All Stedi-Power equipment is designed with this system coordination in mind.  Our devices are not only designed to stand alone as premium protection equipment at your service entrance, but are also designed to coordinate with each other in applying maximum protection and benefit throughout your entire facility.
