TPS adds value

1) International Innovative Systems will consult with engineers on new buildings and do site surveys for existing facilities and recommend suppression strategies that achieve the customer’s goals.

2) Upon installation our representatives can approve installations.

3) Years after the installations, our warranty support can assist with trouble-shooting if products self-sacrifice in the course of protecting loads.

Suppression DesignSTRATEGIES FOR FACILITY-WIDE PROTECTION

Traditional loads with no microprocessor components have traditional protection – fuses and breakers. Transient overvoltages are not attenuated. This “No Protection” situation is represented in the first line of Figure A

Threshold suppression designs begin to attenuate voltage excursions at a set point above the sine wave.

The Enhanced Tracking suppression (ETF) design adds a filter component to the suppression circuits. This attenuates transients inside the power envelope.

Before and after TPS suppressionHere is a sampling of a logic circuit before and after the application of a TPS suppressor. This automated machinery operated as intended for months, despite constant exposure to repetitive 300+ volt events. Eventually, however, these transients caused logic disruption and catastrophic failure with significant downtime costs. We can help you solve problems and improve productivity with proper application of TPS surge suppression devices. (The phenomena of Type 1 damage – logic disruption - is discussed in detail in IEEE Standard 1100-2005 4.4.5.1)

TPS provides customers with full disclosure of the performance characteristics of all its products. This is critical information for suppression strategies which will maximize performance value of a customer’s surge suppression investment. Measured Limited Voltage values are provided for all modes, on all products, for all exposure levels (A, B and C) of a facility. All information is based on ANSI/IEEE 62.41 standardized testing waveforms.

Where do Transients Come From?Common MisconceptionThe majority of voltage transients originate outside the user’s facility.

RealityHigh energy sources, like lightning strikes, grid switching & other utility faults typically account for only 10% - 15% of all transients recorded.

An actual trace of a ETF suppressor attenuating a 2,000 volt impulse (ANSI/IEEE A1 Ringwave)Note that the impulse was attenuated well within the sine wave.

ANSI/IEEE terms this 29 volt remnant the “Measured Limited Voltage”.

These electron microscope images illustrate Type-III damage resulting from overvoltages

reaching the integrated circuitry. (The phenomena of Type-III damage - hardware destruction - is discussed in detail in

IEEE Standard 1100-2005 4.4.5.3)

“We were experiencing fluctuations in the power that was affecting our drive areas,

causing equipment replacement... there was an abundance of voltage anomalies on the system.Since the installation (of TPS surge suppression

units) we have had no issues related to our power quality in this area.”
