Prevent the surges impacting your delicate devices

Our lives rely on the electrical/ electronic gadgets around the clock Your devices brought anew at home, works well for a time period and stops working before its prescribed lifetime is a frequent event. This is the cause of unpredictable and unnoticed power fluctuations. The fluctuation is the rise in the standard voltage level above the fixed threshold level.

This is an instantaneous and camouflaged issue that occur from Lightning effects, short circuiting, excess overvoltage, or other natural occurrences. This is only noticed once your device starts behaving abnormally or after halts working. Power surges cause a greater amount of heat to enter your device and hamper its functionality.


How to prevent surges
Surges are events appearing at the terminals of your devices from the power outlets. They are basically the hike in the voltage normally imposed on your devices that can crash or ruin its application. They cannot be detected with ease. The electrical outburst that enter in will stay for a shorter duration of time. They can be detected only by precise surge suppressors that will block and discharge any voltage exceeding the threshold level to the ground.

Protection units
The protection unit can be made of components such as metal oxide varistors, Spark gaps or Gas discharge tubes. Surge protection Devices can be classified according to the applications, you need to simply plug your vulnerable devices onto these units according to the current and the voltage ratings.

Types of SPDs
  •     Type 1 – Connected at the service entrance for the protection against harmful lightning strikes. These primary protectors Complying with IEC 61643-11 act in 10/350µs.
  •     Type 2 – Connected at the equipment level for the protection against switching surges. Switching Surges can be taken care of by these secondary protectors complying with IEC 61643-21.
  •     Type 3 – These dual protectors are special class of devices to prevent both lightning and switching surges.

Benefits of JMV make Surge protection devices
  •     Designed as per relevant standards.
  •     Available in wider range of voltages.
  •     Effective and dependable system.
  •     Reduces equipment downtime.
These inexpensive devices are highly recommended for lengthening the service life of the electrical/ electronic devices.

Surge suppressing technology that can pay many dividends

Among all the electrical faults, power surges rushing into your devices can be disastrous leading to fire hazards or can put a halt to the normal function of your devices. Devices exposed to hostile environment and those staying doors are susceptible to surge events. Despite being indoors, your devices are not assured safety. They can still be haunted by the lightning encroaching inside the facility via the transmission lines and communication lines.Another major cause of surges can be– frequent switching activities, electromagnetic induction, etc. They are all unpredictable sources and can hit your devices at any point of time. SPDs are similar to that of a power strip but much more powerful than the power strip. Before discussing the possibility of occurrence of surge events, we will look at the scenario of how we choose a protection unit. A reliable protection system is necessary to clamp the incoming voltage hikes to a threshold level by diverting reasonably high value of trans

Ac power surge protection devices to Amp your device’s safety

Image
To simplify convoluted installations into a small circuit is the concern in increasing performance of any equipment or machinery. Equipment is said to be in danger if the withstand level lies below the power of surge. For the same concern surge protective device is equipped on single-phase lines of AC power supply of electronic assemblies. The protective performances of the surge protection devices should be honored by the replacement of traditional circuit from the reduced circuit so as to increase the efficiency and feasibility of the Lightning over voltage protection system and surge protection system devised in the structure.  AC surge protectors are basically employed for 50/60 HZ AC power arrangement along with the rated voltage of 220V to 380V. In addition to, it is also used in the reception/transmission systems, in over voltage transient protection system to shield against direct and indirect effects of lightning, for commercial and industrial field of surge protection r

Array Junction Box- A Safety Mechanism For Solar Modules

Image
The solar modules or photovoltaic system works immensely as they use sunlight and then generate a powerful source of energy such as direct current electricity and so on. As we know the installation of solar panel has been executed in wider area thus also enhances the most chances for transients and short- circuits etc.  To eliminate this menace, Array Junction Box is cascaded along with the photovoltaic strings. An Array Junction Box (AJB) which is used to connect along with solar modules in parallel connection to provide the protection against surges. There are two boxes first is 4 in 1 out with PV SPDs and the another one is 4 in 4 with PV SPDs. There are various components in array junction box that generate a protective shelter to photovoltaic systems such as Enclosure, photovoltaic fuses, surge protection device, isolator and cables. The availability of enclosure is possible in numerous materials. Thus, this is foolproof system that doesn't get affected through fire and wate
