As an alternative technology in Lightning Protection Systems, TVSS is an industry term used for \u201cTransient Voltage Surge Suppressor.\u201d This term is still in use; however, it is also officially referred to as \u201cSurge Protection Device\u201d or (SPD). TVSS devices are designed to cut off excess voltage in the event of an instantaneous rise or fluctuations that may occur on the power line. The installation of TVSS (SPD) is very important for protecting sensitive equipment that may be damaged due to electrical fluctuations on AC lines; and if such a problem occurs, they eliminate the surge at the nanosecond level and protect systems. TVSS devices (SPDs) are the most popular surge suppression equipment used today.<\/p>\n

Now, let us eliminate some question marks regarding TVSS devices. First and most importantly, TVSS devices are not energy-saving equipment, although their sales have increased in recent years. This is probably due to increased interest in green technology and the desire to conserve energy; however, this is a completely incorrect perception. TVSS devices are not energy-saving devices. TVSS systems only protect circuits by preventing sudden surges from damaging the system.<\/p>\n

TVSS is a protection mechanism that prevents power system transients, commonly known by the public as power fluctuations or power surges. It provides protection against impulses that can cause surges above 50,000 V. Since conventional TVSS systems consist of sensitive components, they do not provide extremely strong protection against lightning. Therefore, Strikesorb Systems (part of Raycap\u2019s product line) are called the most advanced TVSS because they provide 200 kA protection against lightning and are accepted worldwide. Strikesorb technology is the most powerful TVSS technology available, because it can absorb repeated power surges and continue operating; it provides this protection an unlimited number of times. Traditional TVSS equipment is generally made of conventional surge protection technologies (Silicon Avalanche Diodes, single MOVs, Gas Discharge Tubes) that can stop a surge but sacrifice themselves during the event. Strikesorb provides 10-year guaranteed protection even against lightning strikes and consists of the most advanced components. The most important features that distinguish it from conventional TVSS are its resistance to lightning strikes, speed, and damage-free guarantee. Therefore, Strikesorb SPDs (or TVSS) installed in Raycap\u2019s main service panels provide the best protection against surges and lightning strikes. This has been proven worldwide. More than 400,000 GSM towers and 20,000 wind turbines are protected with Raycap Strikesorb TVSS systems. Equipment failures and damages as a result of transient surges are mainly caused by power levels exceeding the tolerance of integrated circuits in microprocessors. Each time there is a power interruption to large industrial equipment, a short surge known as a switching transient occurs. Continuous switching on and off of industrial equipment weakens circuits over time and causes system failures; when lightning strikes, it can burn all machine boards within 100 ns. Raycap TVSS systems provide excellent protection at this point and protect you against an unlimited number of surges. TVSS products are intended to be installed at AC voltage inputs and outputs. Typically, there is no change in daily operation; however, if the voltage difference between the power source and the protected line rises sufficiently, the switch cuts off the current and diverts it away from the protected equipment. Together with Raycap\u2019s other protection equipment, your industrial equipment and data become less susceptible to damage caused by major power surges or small surges over time.<\/p>\n
