Surge Protect Cat6 Network Wires on Both Ends Between Buildings
A critical detail in many installations is ensuring proper protection for network wires that run between buildings. Whether you're installing camera systems or networks, if those wires go outside or cross from one structure to another, they create an easy pathway for dangerous transients and surges. This will likely lead to problems down the road. Future electrical codes are likely to mandate protection for these pathways, and forward-thinking integrators can stay ahead of the curve by protecting them today.

Proper Installation of Surge Protectors is Crucial
At TPD, we know that even the best surge protection won’t function at peak performance if it’s not installed properly. Critical installation methods for breaker panel surge protection are outlined in the IEEE recommended practices. Keep reading to learn more about proper installation of surge protectors for breaker panels!

TPD Reduces Your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
A properly coordinated whole home surge protection system is the biggest payback product you will get as a homeowner. Every piece of equipment in your home—from smart TVs to lighting, appliances, and HVAC systems—has a total cost over its lifetime. That includes repairs, maintenance, downtime, and premature replacements. TPD surge protection reduces hidden costs by minimizing wear and tear on sensitive electronics, preventing failures, and extending the usable life of expensive equipment. Continue reading for our layered surge protection approach:

What is a Surge?
In a perfect world with perfect power and ideal environmental conditions, electronics could last indefinitely; however, power is not perfect, and surges happen frequently. A surge, also known as a transient, is a sudden increase in voltage that typically lasts less than one sixtieth of a second. Surges can cause problems such as downtime, lost productivity, equipment failure, high maintenance costs, long-term system degradation, and data loss/corruption. Protect your home or facility with a TPD surge protection system and prevent 85% to 95% of surge related problems!

What is Voltage Regulation?
Voltage regulation refers to the process of maintaining a consistent voltage level to ensure the proper functioning of electronic devices and equipment. TPD is excited to announce the TPD-VR, a voltage regulator that conditions and regulates power, preventing electronic lockups, glitches, and failures over a wide input voltage range with an extremely fast correction time (8ms or less). This field-proven technology has been used in thousands of applications such as hospitals, airports, and industrial facilities, and we are proud to introduce it to the custom residential marketplace.
