The FESEP Solution - How Does It Work?

Here's How it Works...

‘Clamping’ excess voltage surges – voltage relief valve
Clamping level and speed
Temperature reduction
Application of TVSS is a factor

FESEP vs. The Competition

Clamps the Fastest and Lowest levels… Period!
The only NON-DEGRADING TVSS made… Period!
The best Safety Features of any TVSS… Period!
The only TVSS that can withstand a lightning strike… Period!
The best Protection/Guarantee/Warranty… Period!

The illustrations shown above are not representative of AC waveforms, but are averaged to show the variation from the desired steady state.

Electrical Devices, as a rule, operate efficiently at their rated voltage. Some devices will actually run more efficiently at voltages up to 10% more than the rated voltage. Somewhere around 6% to 10% this relationship “sours”. Voltage supplies exceeding 10% of the rated voltage will then result in excessive heat and insulation degradation of the affected device.

Electrical devices supplied at LESS than the rated voltage (even by a small amount) will operate less efficiently, requiring more energy to do the same work. They will also operate at higher than normal temperatures. The heat produced is wasted energy. If this heating can be stopped, the energy use is reduced. In many cases, air-conditioning loads are reduced.

Typical Surge Suppression Devices are designed to clamp voltages that exceed the designer’s expectations by as much as 250%. The typical plug-in type suppressor for your computer, for example, clamps at 300 volts! Since the follow-on oscillations are related in magnitude to the initial event the graphic at the right illustrates what occurs when clamping the initial event at 250% of the rated voltage. Remember, shaded areas indicate ranges that produce greater heat and reduced efficiency.
