Point-of-Use Surge Protection
Industrial and commercial locations are filled
with sensitive electronics equipment. These
devices are easily damaged by power surges,
also called transients, spikes or voltage
impulses. It only takes one lightening storm
near your location to create a high energy
electrical surge that can enter your facility
and destroy your computers, CRT’s,
HMI’s, control instrumentation and
electronic sensors. Surges can also
travel on your telephone lines. This
energy surge travels through your
internal phone lines and can destroy
all your equipment that is attached.
Cutler-Hammer plug-in surge protectors offer
exceptional protection for electrical and
electronic devices. Each of the Surge Strip
series; Ultra, Max and Micro are available in
AC only and AC plus telephone/modem. The
Ultra series 3-Way, in addition to having the
above options, is available in AC plus
telephone/modem and cable. Construction
series surge strip products are also available
for heavy duty applications.
STAGE-2 PROTECTION
Even if your facility has an installed surge
suppressor, the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) recommends
two stages of surge suppression to provide
the best protection for electronic equipment.
A quality Cutler-Hammer Surge
Trap surge strip installed at the
point of use reduces any voltage
remnant down to an acceptable
level and provides an added level
of protection for your equipment.
