Have you ever had to replace a burned out PLC board on your machine? Have you ever lost a server for the office LAN system? Does your desktop computer keep locking for no apparent reason? These are all relevant questions and if you have answered yes to any, an indication that your facility may be experiencing Transient Voltage Surges.

• 33% of voltage transients occur from outside of a facility, industrial, commercial, institutional, or even residential.
• 67% of all voltage transients are from within, caused by motors and other inductive loads as they switch on and off.

So where exactly do transients come from? In a residence, it could originate in simple lighting, the microwave oven, or the air conditioner. In commercial environments it could be caused by the photocopier, fax machine, elevator, or the building’s HVAC system. Industrial facilities  always have motors turning on and off, but may get transients from welders, lighting, or even because of an electrical accident.
