7.1.11.3 Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors
WARNING
IMPORTANT, please read section thoroughly.
Like most electrical equipment your new machine can be damaged or have its life shortened by
voltage surges due to lightning strikes which are not covered by factory warranty. Local power
distribution problems also can be detrimental to the life of electrical components. We
recommend the installation of transient voltage surge suppressors for your new equipment.
These devices may be placed at the power supply panel for the complete installation and don’t
require an individual device for each machine.
These surge protectors help to protect equipment from large spikes and from small ongoing
spikes in the power that occur on a day-to-day basis. These smaller surges can shorten overall
life of electrical components of all types and cause their failure at a later date. Although they
can’t protect against all events, these protective devices have a good reputation for significantly
lengthening the useful life of electronic components.
Electronic components are helped to have a longer useful life when they are supplied with the
clean stable electrical power they like.
