How Surge Protectors Works?
Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) are designed to limit damage from electrical surges. Surges happen extremely fast and may pass through electrical breakers before the breaker can trip. This is because breakers are designed for over current protection, and not surges. Electrical surges can become powerful enough to damage or kill downline products that include electronics. Even if downline products ...

To innovate in the electrical distribution sector, we must find sparks of inspiration
Electrical distribution can be easily overlooked in daily life. It’s out of sight and mind – electrical equipment is concealed within unassuming metal boxes and substations, while transmission lines run under our streets or are suspended above them. It can be easy to forget that distribution is a crucial element of our electrified world, a fact we are reminded of when the lights go ...
