Do You Have a Power Quality Plan? Take Action with TPD!
TPD’s thirty years of field-proven power quality solutions for both power and data in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities have led us to the following conclusion: a properly installed TPD surge protection system will take care of up to 95% of surge related issues. With the addition of our voltage regulator, the TPD-VR, we are also able to take care of issues in voltage fluctuations such as brownouts in addition to surge protection, making for an incredible protection system for any home or facility.
Given the overwhelming likelihood that surges are at the root of most power quality problems, we recommend bypassing, or at least postponing, the testing phase and starting instead with installing surge protection in strategic locations immediately. This is because testing typically confirms what we already know–that surge protection is needed. Installing surge protection right away reduces the chance of further damage while decisions on other power quality measures are made. Surge protection devices from TPD allow you to troubleshoot where the damage may be coming from and implement necessary changes to the system.
After installing surge protection, if voltage fluctuations are still observed, we recommend adding a voltage regulator to maintain steady voltage within ±2.5V of the target value. This helps avoid lockups, erratic sensor behavior, nuisance trips, and premature component wear, especially on things like digital controls and VFDs.
This power quality plan is a field-proven method from TPD. We have seen how its implementation has saved countless equipment, reduced downtime, and avoided extra site testing expenses. A TPD power quality plan is scalable and can be used across all applications: from small homes to large hospitality buildings. TPD products are used in applications like hospitals, office buildings, campus environments, manufacturing facilities, transit and transport buildings, and many more!
