SURGE SUPPRESSION SOLUTIONS Maintaining our dedication and belief in providing solutions that secure operations and protect infrastructures, is further proven by our partnership with the industry s top leaders in surge suppression. Our team includes T&B and PolyPhaser who share our belief in challenging the status quo by continuing to design innovative engineered products. These products complement our Total Site and Facility Protection Systems. Large single surge events such as lightning can reach millions of volts and cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure. Lightning and utility power anomalies account for 20% of transient surges while the other 80% are produced internally in a facility. Although small in size, they are higher in occurrence. Our surge protective devices and designs protect against these transient surge conditions and are a key component of a Total Site and Facility Protection System.
