TPD Success Story: 18 Months Without an Equipment Failure
We recently heard from Jim Clements at Anchor Technology Group about how our voltage regulator solved a problem for him that he could not solve previously, even after trying UPS systems, surge protectors, and power conditioners.
Voltage fluctuations and poor power quality can cause more than occasional equipment problems. For Anchor Technology Group, recurring electrical disturbances were leading to constant network equipment failures, frequent service calls, and expensive repairs at a remote property.
Over approximately two years, Jim had replaced four 24-port managed network switches, three routers, numerous smaller switches, and several Apple TVs and Rokus at this one property. Equipment was sometimes failing every six months, and the network required almost weekly service calls to reboot devices. With the property located 400 miles away, each service visit meant significant travel expenses and downtime.
After trying a variety of solutions without success, Jim contacted Transient Protection Design for help. TPD recommended the TPD-VR120-15A-P voltage regulator, and the results have been remarkable. Eighteen months after installation, there hasn't been a single equipment failure or another recurring call to reboot the network. Even more impressive, the electrical disturbances haven't gone away. The property continues to experience voltage fluctuations and other power disturbances, but the equipment connected to the TPD voltage regulator has continued operating reliably.
This is a great example of how proper voltage regulation can improve equipment reliability and help eliminate costly service calls. Surge protection is an important part of power quality, but voltage fluctuations and brownouts can create problems of their own. Addressing these issues with the right voltage regulation solution can make a significant difference.
As our dealer, Jim Clements of Anchor Technology Group, put it: "There's a big difference between a product that promises to solve a problem and one that actually does." At TPD, we believe power quality is about more than protecting equipment from surges. It's about creating more reliable electrical environments for the electronics we depend on every day.
