Amplifier Surge Protection
Running speaker wires out to numerous outdoor speakers is like creating a giant copper antenna that attracts lightning. Once lightning finds itself inside the building it can easily destroy the amp and migrate to other equipment in the rack or in the electrical panel feeding the rack.

TPD Surge Protection is a Quick Return on Investment
When unprotected equipment fails, locks up, or glitches it may create a plethora of problems in an electronic system causing downtime, service calls, loss of productivity, and loss of time to enjoy the system. A properly installed TPD surge suppression system can maintain the peak performance of equipment for the longest possible time and save the customer money year after year.

EV Charger Surge Protection
Just like HVAC and refrigeration equipment turning on and off, EV Chargers create surges that travel back to the breaker panel, potentially damaging other equipment in the building. Protecting your home from the surges generated by EV charging stations helps prevent damage to other equipment in the home.

Lightning Protection is Structural Protection
Lightning systems, once installed, become a potential problem for the electronics in the house. Lightning protection is not surge protection. Lightning protection does not protect electronics from lightning: it attracts lightning. When the lightning system takes a hit, significant energy is emitted as a Lightning Electro-Magnetic Pulse (LEMP) and it can be induced directly onto internal wiring. Lightning protection systems require surge protection and, in fact, any UL certified Lightning Protection System mandates the installation of an ANSI/UL1449 listed Surge Protection Device.

Letter to a Builder on the Importance of Surge Protection
Transients account for an astounding 85-95% of all power-related problems, making them the most recurrent and, crucially, the most disruptive and destructive anomalies in power quality. Transient Protection Design surge protection products for both power and data are safeguards against transients.

Electrical Transfer Surges and Their Impact
Navigating the quirks of automatic transfer switch equipment is vital in our digitally powered age. So, take charge and ensure your electronics are shielded and ready for anything with TPD surge suppression.

Cable and Data System Surge Protection
An unprotected or incorrectly grounded cable or data wire in one system can allow ground potentials to migrate to other cable and data systems producing large scale damage across the whole system during a lightning strike. Tens of thousands of dollars in damage can happen with one lightning strike, and it is very often due to an unprotected or incorrectly grounded data wire. By applying TPD surge protection products on incoming and outgoing cable and data lines, you can be assured...

Electronic Failures, Lockups and Glitches
A Transient Protection Design panel mount surge suppressor installed on breaker, lighting, and distribution panels is the most cost-effective way to protect expensive electronics and appliances from immediate damage and long-term damage from degrading transients which cause electronics to glitch and significantly shorten their life span.
