INTEGRATION COEFFICIENT IC HELPS YOU TO BE AWARE OF THE BEST AND MAIN FEATURES
Voltage protectors are devices designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment, such as refrigeration appliances, from voltage variations that may cause extreme damage.
Here is a summary of all the protections and features that the best protector devices should offer as a Voltage Protectors Selection Guide:
High-energy surge suppressors: These devices protect against spikes, first by absorbing a significant portion of the energy contained in this over-voltage and, second, by diverting to ground the excess energy that exceeds a safe threshold. Please be sure to look for the most technologically up-to-date ones, which use both, normal mode (Phase-Neutral) and common mode (Phase-Ground, Neutral-Ground) protections being the varistor the most commonly used and trustworthy high-energy surge absorber.
Protection against High and Low Voltages: The best protectors also disconnect the critical load protected against voltage increases and decreases according to the safe working regions described by the CBEMA curve which is a graphic representation that shows the voltage variations that electronic and refrigeration equipment can tolerate without failing.
Shoemaker to his shoes: It is important to note that the protector to be chosen must be specially designed for the load to be protected. Refrigeration equipment accepts rapid voltage variations and even in a greater voltage range due to the inertial effect of its compression motor since it must be avoided that they could be turned off by faster variations that do not affect them. At the same time, electronic loads need protectors with a faster response time and a reduced range of voltage variations. In short, don't believe all-purpose surge protector offers. Micro-controller and SMD-based circuit boards are mandatory.
LED Status Indicators: The best voltage and surge protectors for appliances have LED indicators for voltage status and whether or not the connected load is being protected or is in re-connection waiting time mode. Look for ones that offer ALL the visual information you need regarding their operation modes.
Delay Time: After disconnecting the load due to an extreme voltage variation, the best surge protectors offer a re-connection delay circuit before reconnecting the load, allowing the voltage to stabilize. Again, stick to your guns. A standby time is not the same for protecting refrigeration loads as it is for protecting electronic loads.
Warranties: The warranty offered by your supplier must include the exchange of your unit for a new one for at least one year. However, please note that the warranty is voided if a protector is damaged by the explosion of a varistor by peaks exceeding the typical limits (150 to 180 Joules per mode for the best providers).
On-Off Master Switch: Essential to handle electrical connections with maximum safety.
Space saving: Look for protectors that, when connected to the electrical outlet, leave exposed any other outlet that the “outlet box” might offer.
