TPX Compact Surge Protection

Protect electronics from lightning and surge related damage to electronics. The TPX Breaker Panel Surge Protector will extend the life of electronics and improve electronic reliability. Utility power was designed for motors and incandescent bulbs and does not guarantee clean power for electronics. Contaminated power lines and internally generated transients degrade power supplies, circuit boards and other electronic components causing lockups, downtime and inconvenience. Cleaning up the power will improve sound and picture quality and give all electronics in your home computer grade power.

The TPX series is a surge protection option to protect breaker panels from harmful electrical disturbances that could destroy equipment and cause downtime to your systems. The subpanel surge protector’s focus is to clean up internally generated ring wave transients that adversely affect electronics in addition to lightning protection coming from the service entrance panel.

The Importance of Whole-Home Surge Protection
Each year more and more engineers and designers offer surge suppression to protect electrical panels in the building. Today more than ever all buildings that contain electronics need protection from externally as well as internally generated transient surges. While suppressors installed on service entrance panels will address external transients such as lightning or utility generated surges, only subpanel units can stop internally generated transients caused by operation of HVAC equipment, and all other equipment in the building. Plus, if lightning strikes on or near the building and inductively couple onto the building’s electrical wiring, the energy from the lightning could go back to that branch panel and consequently spread out to other circuits on that panel if no suppressor is located on the branch panel where the wire is run from. Installing panel mount suppression units on both upstream and downstream panels is in accord with the IEEE recommended practices.
