Protecting High-End AV Equipment and Electronics Starts at the Plug

Frenchtown, NJ (PRWEB) June 15, 2006

From the moment that high-end AV equipment and electronics are plugged in, they immediately become a target for a powerline surge that could fry their internal circuitry and render them useless. Fresh on the heels of InfoComm 2006, where the global audiovisual (AV) industry came together to showcase its latest and greatest technologies, its even more important that those involved with AV applications recognize the importance of powerline surge protection and make it a necessity for their costly investments and purchases, not an afterthought. Zero Surge, manufacturer of revolutionary Series Mode power quality filters, offers the ultimate in surge protection that AV buyers can rely on to keep their equipment up and running and shielded from even the most destructive surges.

 

The worlds largest AV tradeshow, InfoComm draws the attention of various markets, including business, education and government, as well as healthcare, retail, sports, entertainment, museums, worship and an increasingly sophisticated residential market. The launch pad for a number of advancements in high-end AV equipment and electronics, products introduced at InfoComm will soon be mainstream and will require the level of protection that Zero Surge has to offer – 100% surge protection with 0% failure. For over 16 years, Zero Surges patented products have been providing unequalled, unfailing powerline surge protection for numerous industries. Ranging from the convenient and economical 2R-Series, featuring two outlet units, to the more fully-featured 8R-Series, with eight outlets and a built-in circuit breaker to prevent overloading, Zero Surge power filters are rugged and built to withstand the most demanding electrical environments.

 

Electricity is unreliable and unpredictable, noted Rudy Harford, Chief Engineer of Zero Surge. The downtime of losing critical electronic equipment due to a power surge could be more costly in the long run than the purchase itself. For AV buyers, failing to integrate high-end powerline surge protection, especially when the cost is incremental compared to the initial investment, is like playing a game of Russian Roulette with their equipment, concluded Mr. Harford.

 

Unlike competitive products that utilize tiny, sacrificial metal oxide varistors (MOVs) to divert surge current to the ground wire and endanger interconnected equipment, Zero Surges power quality filters perform as a tranquilizer on the surge current and suppress even the most destructive strikes, dissipating them harmlessly over the neutral wire.

 

In addition, Zero Surges non-MOV filters preserve ground wire integrity, which when used AV equipment, can help eliminate unwanted and annoying interference that can adversely affect sound and graphics quality.. Moreover, MOV-based surge suppressors have a history of overheating and causing fires. When hit with powerful surges, MOVs have been known to explode, and they deteriorate with use, losing their effectiveness with no outward sign of the degradation. Ensuring an added level of confidence, Zero Surge units will not wear out, and each one comes with a 10-year limited warranty and a Lifetime Service Agreement.

Zero Surge Inc. manufactures non-degrading power quality filters, certified by UL for safety, endurance and performance. In business since 1989, the companys patented filters eliminate the surge damage and equipment loss often experienced with sacrificial MOV (metal oxide varistor) type surge suppressors. Zero Surge Inc. has over 50 models accommodating a wide range of applications. Corporations, medical operations, universities, ocean vessels, the U.S. military and government, manufacturing plants, banks, utilities, and homeowners are just some of the customers relying on Zero Surge filters. The products do not contain sacrificial MOVs which wear out with use, can fail, and have caused fires.
