Modern offices and residences present an array of costly and disruptive electrical problems. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) estimates that economic losses caused by power disturbances represent more than 1 percent of the U.S. GDP, literally billions of dollars annually. The financial risks for residences can run into thousands of dollars. |
| Among the most common and critical problems are brief over-voltage disturbances commonly
called surges or voltage transients. Though some surges are caused by lightning, NEMA estimates
that 60-80% of surges are created within a facility, usually by devices that switch power
on and off, for example Heating and Air Conditioning systems. Surges can damage, degrade, or destroy
critical microprocessor-based equipment common in today's businesses and homes. |
