The Surge Suppression Incorporated® seminar is a professionally recognized course that consists of seven sections:
1. The Transient Environment
2. Effects On Your Equipment
3. TVSS Design
4. Product Specifications
5. System Survey & Design
6. Application Results
7. Comparison TVSS Testing
The first section discusses what transients are and where they originate. The magnitude and frequency of both external and internal transients are examined.
The second section looks at what happens when the transients get to your equipment. We will talk about the types of damage and how they effect operations.
The third section examines the design of surge suppression devices and how they differ from one manufacturer to another. The different levels of protection and warranties are also discussed.
The fourth section explains the terms used on standard specification sheets and what they really mean in relation to actual performance. You will learn the four key pieces of information that will tell you what you need to know about a surge suppressor.
The fifth section discusses how to provide the best protection in the most efficient and economical manner. We walk through a distribution system and show how the proper placement of TVSS units provides the level of protection required at each stage of the system.
The sixth section examines actual results from several installations. Documented protection, repair and replacement histories are shown for industrial and commercial applications.
The last section is the actual comparison testing of TVSS devices. We use a surge generator capable of producing up to 6,000 volts and 3,000 amps in a single surge. We will vary the voltage and current to conform to industry standard ANSI/IEEE C62.41 and C62.45 to conduct standard testing on a range of products. We also invite you to bring any TVSS device you are currently using to the seminar. We will conduct true comparison testing on your unit so that you can get an idea of how it actually performs.
You will see actual scope traces of the let-through voltages for each product tested.
We have been presenting this seminar, with periodic updates, for the last 17 years. Previous attendees have included electrical engineers, consulting engineers, plant managers, maintenance directors, power company engineers, corporate executives, information system directors, electronic technicians, facility operations managers and many others from varying levels of management and operations in all types of commercial and industrial environments.
