Transients

• Transient activity is believed to account for 80% of all electrically-related downtime.
• Lightning accounts at least 5% of Insurance claims and costs an average of $13,000 per occurrence.
• Effective transient voltage suppression equipment can double or triple the life of electrical and electronic equipment.
• Transient Voltage Surge Suppression is the most immediately apparent, and the most cost-effective, means of improving your power quality.

Transient voltages, “surges” or “spikes,” are momentary changes in voltage or current that occur over a short period of
time.  They can be generated internally or they can come into a facility from external sources. The least common of the
two are externally generated transients.

Lightning is the most well known of the externally generated transients.  Another common source, not commonly known, is neighboring businesses. If you share a transformer with other users, any transient activity generated on his premises will be seen at your electrical main.

The vast majority of transients are produced within your own facility.  Each time you turn on, turn off, load, or unload an inductive device, you produce a transient.  This is called “electronic rust.”

The Stedi-Power TVSS System drastically reduces “electronic rust!”
