You may not be able to see them, but power anomalies that originate within your automated control system are costing you expensive downtime. Your automated production equipment has a low tolerance for poor power quality, especially if it is controlled by a PLC(s).

Evaluation of Series Element Surge Protective Device for Protection of Electronic Equipment and Systems.

RF. AC. DC and Data Line surge protectors are used to protect critical communication assets in a variety of applications and markets. The following information is created to help explain terminology commonly used in today’s surge protection industry.

An effective solution to mitigating EMP should consider the entire electronic system. This holistic approach includes four integrated elements - grounding, shielding, filtering and surge suppression.

Pole mounted or wall mounted closed circuit television cameras have special protection requirements. Remote Mounted CCTV Cameras - Prime Targets for Lightning Outdoor Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Security Cameras can be prime targets for lightning. A lightning strike can destroy the camera and can damage the control console with energy flowing back through the coax and camera power wiring.

This paper discusses the possibility, requirements and necessary steps to protect land mobile vehicles from the effects of an electromagnetic pulse event to ensure continuous mobility of the vehicle.

Reliable operation of security systems is essential to protect company assets and ensure human safety. Episodic equipment malfunctions plague security systems and compromise system integrity. These malfunctions can be related to the power quality environment. As data and communication equipment become more electronically sophisticated they demand a higher quality electrical environment to ensure optimal performance and uninterrupted operation. To resolve common power quality problems that can cause equipment malfunction and damage, it is crucial to understand the electrical sensitivity of various elements of a security system, best practices for a proper grounding system, and fundamentals of quality surge protection devices.Design Matters.
