ABB OVR Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor Series
Why is there a need for TVSS?
- Economical, service and security parameters: replacement and unavailability cost of the equipment to be protected, risk for the environment or for human life (petrochemical sites, stadium, ...).
- Cost of repair
- Threat to human life
- direct shock
- security systems
- magnetic locks
- fire protection
- Protect sensitive electronics
Surge suppression is crucial to any power quality and power protection system, including lightning protection and three phases power systems. TVSS guard against transient overvoltages, sometimes call transients, spikes or surges, hence the name Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor or TVSS. Transients are known to damage sensitive electronic equipment in homes, schools, commercial, industrial, and medical facilities, wastewater treatment plants, factories, etc..
The downtime, damage, and destruction caused to critical or electronic loads costs billions of dollars a year. TVSS is now the standard technology for increasing the reliability and uptime of microprocessors.
