Surge Protective Devices target data and telco applications.

Press Release Summary:




Compatible with most data protocols and connection types used by communication equipment, PowerTrip® KSB Series routes intense levels of surge current safely to equipment ground and away from sensitive data circuitry. Units neutralize damage causing potential of lightning induced surge energy before it overloads data circuits. Devices come in DIN and multi-port rack installation configurations as well as in-line installation packages utilizing modular connectors or terminal blocks.

Alltec Corporation Introduces a New Surge Protection Product Family for Data and Telco Applications



Protect your critical equipment from the damaging effects of lightning; and non-lightning induced transient surge activity. The new PowerTrip® KSB Series surge protective devices (SPD) help ensure higher levels of equipment reliability to reduce down time; resulting with increased operational efficiency and profitability.

There are approximately two thousand thunderstorms in progress around the world at any given moment. As a result, the atmosphere endures approximately 100 lightning strikes per second; or about 8,640,000 times each day. It is inevitable that unprotected equipment loads will suffer damage resulting from the intense levels of energy this natural phenomenon injects into power and dateline conductors.

Data circuits, while immune to most internally generated transient sources, are extremely vulnerable to lightning generated surges. Transient surges corrupt data signals and damage hardware interfaces. PowerTrip® KSB Series SPDs route intense levels of surge current safely to the equipment ground and away from sensitive data circuitry. They neutralize the damage causing potential of lightning induced surge energy before it overloads data circuits to wreak havoc.

The PowerTrip® KSB data products are built for use with almost any type of data protocol and connection type utilized by today's communication equipment. They feature low voltage protection thresholds to provide the highest degree of protection capabilities; and do so without inserting inappropriate line impedance into the protected data circuit. While competing SPD brands can exhibit high insertion losses to significantly reduce the usable cable length of a rated wiring scheme; Alltec's products are not plagued with this deficiency. They come in DIN and multi-port rack installation configurations, and in in-line installation packages utilizing modular connectors or terminal blocks

Replacing equipment is expensive. Lightning damage is often subtle. However, it is frequently the underlying cause of undocumented equipment failure. PowerTrip® KSB series SPD products preclude the need to replace sensitive modern communication equipment that has failed prematurely due to its exposure lightning induced transient activity.

Alltec Corporation is the global leader in the design, manufacture, and installation of lightning protection, grounding, and surge suppression solutions. Founded in 1991, they have focused on innovating new technology, improving customer's system reliability, and enhancing customer service. As Solution Providers for an Energized World(TM), they offer a comprehensive facility protection approach to solving the world's most difficult lightning, grounding, and power quality problems.
