Protecting yourself and your equipment in the field during startup, troubleshooting, or commissioning new automation equipment is vital.
Power cord protection starts with ensuring that you have an extension cord with a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI). This will provide electric shock protection and prevent the risks of an electrical fire caused by ground faults.
Add a surge suppressor for additional protection before connecting your laptop to this circuit.
The multiple plug outlet provides a surge protector against electrical spikes. 3 complementary Surge Protection Circuits are used.
TVS (transient voltage suppressor)
MOV (metal oxide varistor)
GDT (gas discharge tube)
The minimum surge protector circuit energy-absorbing capacity of 1800 Joules will protect your programming automation tools.
This also comes with USB circuits to ensure your phone and devices are charged.
Ensure that you are protecting yourself and your automation tools. Use power cord protection.
