Surge protection
Power surges or transient overvoltages can be caused in two ways: either as the secondary effect of a lightning strike (up to a kilometre away), or by the electrical switching of large inductive loads (such as motors and transformers).
They may last less than a millionth of a second but they are powerful and potentially highly destructive causing:
- disrupting system operations
- degrading equipment components
- destroying components and circuit boards, and surge protection
- causing costly and unnecessary downtime
Thor can supply and install effective protection from surges with the Furse ESP maintenance free range of voltage protectors ideal for use with:
- mains power supplies
- data and telecoms equipment
- computer networks
- RF, CCTV, rail and CATV systems
