7 TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SURGE SUPPRESSORS
IMPORTANT
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 also 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.
We are including the following names and links to a few suppliers of these
devices for those who don’t currently have a source.
