Surge protectionProtect your equipment,resources and investmentsSurges are high-energy, short-duration voltage events.Also referred to as transients, impulses or spikes, theseelectrical disturbances can damage or destroy sensitivemicroprocessor-based equipment. T hey can also be generated externallyby events like lightning, grid switching orelectrical equipment in adjacent buildings.The most common source is internal devicespowering on and off. These devices include: Motors Transformers Photocopiers Fluorescentlighting ballasts Light dimmers80%of surges areINTERNALLYgenerated20%come fromEXTERNALsources Variable frequencydrives and more Having a strategy to protect against the damage caused by surges isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. While seemingly innocent, these events can wreak serious havocon inadequately protected facilities. Choosing a surge suppression manufacturerwith a reputation for quality products and services is vital to safeguardingyour investments.2EATON Innovative Technology

Innovative Technology System Shield solutionThe best way to prevent downtime due to an electrical surge is todevelop and execute a facility-wide System Shield protection strategy.This ensures that all mission-critical electronic systems are shielded toprevent disruption, damage and destruction caused by surges.Here are the main areas in your electrical distribution systemthat may be at risk for surge events and therefore require protection.System Shield is aproven, effectivemethod for total facilityprotection. This layeredapproach protects allelectrical and electronicequipment—frompowerful motors tosophisticated lightingcontrols and sensitivecomputer-basedcontrollers—fromdamage caused byelectrical surges.CBAC Service entranceB Distribution panels S ubject to high-power, externallygenerated transients caused bylightning, power company gridswitching, power system faults, severeweather and neighboring facilities.
