INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY® TVSS

Critical UL 1449 update information

A UL-listed Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) product provides a user with the confidence that their unit will not create a shock or fire hazard during use. In such major updates to Underwriters Laboratories Standard for Safety pertaining to TVSS went into effect on February 9, 2007, affecting all TVSS manufactured after this date.

Transient Voltage Surge Suppression

Since 1980, Innovative Technology products have solved the most difficult electrical transient problems for business, industry, government and defense sectors. Now as a part of Eaton Corporation’s electrical business, we are even better positioned to deliver state-of-the-art customer solutions.

Why Innovative Technology TVSS Products?

TVSS Pioneer
Since 1980, we have been designing and manufacturing industry leading transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) products. We hold the patents and intellectual resources that have been leading the way in transient voltage surge suppression. Innovative Technology products and technologies protect electrical, data, telecom circuits and electronic equipment from the effects of lightning induced voltages, external switching transients and internally generated electrical transients.

System Shield
Although external transient surges include lightning strikes, utility grid switching and equipment action at adjacent buildings are easily recognized high-energy surge events, they only account for 20% of all surges faced by a facility. 80% of surges are the results of internal switching transients (turning on/off motors, transformers, photocopiers, etc.). Wiring, grounding errors and surges (also known as transient voltages) are among the most common power quality issues facing facilities today – resulting in safety concerns, equipment damage and costly downtime.

System Shield is a proven, effective method for total facility protection. This layered approach protects all of your electrical and electronic equipment, from powerful motors to sophisticated lighting controls and sensitive computer based controllers.
