In today's modern and
competitive business world, highly sophisticated computer systems
are relied upon to perform multiple functions and applications
including wide area networks (WAN), ATM's, point of sale systems
(POS) and computer aided manufacturing. As the microprocessor
"brain" of computer systems becomes more advanced and operates at
increasingly faster speeds, precautions must be taken to protect
this sensitive circuitry.
Microprocessor's Susceptible to Power Quality Most
users of microprocessor based equipment are not aware that they are
susceptible to power quality problems. Furthermore, they are not
aware of how problems with power quality can affect their
microprocessor based systems. As microprocessor technology becomes
more advanced, it becomes more susceptible to problems associated
with the quality of power being provided.
Power quality disturbances such as spikes or surges, high
frequency electrical noise, harmonics and ground contamination can
cause numerous problems with computer driven systems. These problems
include corrupted or lost data, lockups, crashes, and other
unexplained system problems.
Patented Technology SpikeShield Power Line Conditioners
by Hubbell are specifically designed to protect today's
sophisticated microprocessor based equipment from these damaging
power disturbances. The power line conditioners from Hubbell feature
patented Ground Zero Technology to help eliminate noise, spikes and
harmonics and also provide a zero ground reference which is crucial
to maintaining data integrity, system stability and high operating
efficiency. The ground system is the "0" reference point for data
access and transmission and must be free of contamination.
SpikeShield Power Line Conditioners with Ground Zero protection
are available in Straight Blade, Twist-Lock®, Hard Wired and
Medical Grade versions. The new line of conditioners are also
available in 2 Amp through 20 Amp configurations. SpikeShield Power
Line Conditioners are UL 1012 Listed for Power Supplies and
Certified for CAN CSA-22.2, No. 107.1 Power Supplies. The Medical
Grade models are UL Listed under 544 Professional Medical and Dental
Equipment and cUL listed to CSA 22.2, No. 125 Electromedical
Equipment.
