Surge protection for power and
telecommunication lines
A direct lighting hit, while
the most famous, is also one of the least common source of surges. The
switching of large, nearby electrical equipment such as transformers,
compressors and motors even or vending machines can cause surges that will
either instantly or gradually damage your equipment. In fact, when power is
restored after a blackout, a huge voltage surge occurs. This is why light
bulbs tend to blow during restoration of power supply.
Surges aren't limited to power
lines. A rise in potential in one of the twisted pair lines will cause a
surge in the other line. This is known as differential mode surge. Common
mode surges, on the other hand, occurs when the potential of a wire rises
significantly above ground potential. Should lightning strike near a
telephone cable, thousands of volts are induced. Common mode surges usually
cause more damage.
SP4M
The SP4M (Surge Protection 4
Modems) is designed to protect broadband modems, telephones and facsimiles
against surges, with no interference in the communication signal. The SP4M
comes in a high quality anodized aluminium casing with LED indications to
ensure the correct connection and monitor the unit's health.

Powermizer
The
Powermizer stands for "Power Optimizer." True to its name, it protects your
electrical and telecommunication equipment from surges, which correcting the
overall power factor of the system. Simply plug the Powermizer into the
socket outlet closest to the distribution board, and enjoy instant rewards.
Essential equipment are protection from damaging surges, protecting you from
losses caused by replacement and downtime. Also, power factor correction
eliminates losses caused by high inductive current. Fluorescent lamps and
air conditioning units are among the most common source of inductive
current. Installation of a Powermizer will help reduce this current,
translating into savings that are reflected instantly on your utility bill.
Besides that, say goodbye to the black stains on fluorescent lamp holders
caused by the excessive heat generated by the losses that were previously
encountered by these lamps.

Strike Guard
Considered
the "little brother" of the Powermizer, the Strike Guard offers all the
protective features of the Powermizer at a fraction of the price. Guaranteed
to protect all your sensitive equipment from all surges and spikes, short of
a direct hit. Plug the Strike Guard into the first socket outlet closest to
the distribution board to ensure proper protection for the entire house,
office, or installation.
