What Is a Commercial Power Surge and Why Do They Happen?
A commercial power surge is a boost in voltage current that alters the performance of electronic devices and machines. All of the electronics in your building have a specific operating range for power. When surges are strong, electrical currents compromise the stability of wires and circuit boards because the components receive more power than they can handle.
Power surges occur from sources inside and outside commercial buildings. Utility workers can cause a surge when switching between power grids or repairing power lines. However, the appliances around your facility can trigger a surge as well.
Installations such as air conditioning systems, heaters and power tools draw a significant amount of power. Each time the motors inside these appliances kick on, your entire electrical system has to adjust. This rapid adjustment may cause surges exceeding 169 volts to travel through outlets, light switches and circuit-based systems.
Why Are Surge Solutions Important?
Surge protection devices from Tuckey Mechanical Services may save you thousands of dollars in repairs. Where an outlet surge protector defends point-of-use devices, our installations integrate into your building’s electrical service panel for more comprehensive and more professional coverage.
Our devices protect your entire electrical system, including outlets, circuit breakers and anything running on individual circuits like high-energy appliances and lights. Offerings from Tuckey Mechanical Services reduce the chances of electronics overheating or breaking down prematurely due to electrical problems.
Commercial surge protection solutions help you to stay productive around the clock with fewer setbacks. Save money and encourage uptime when you have our technicians set up suitable technology for your industry.
Should I Use Surge Protection Devices for My Building?
Tuckey Mechanical Services works with business owners and property managers in all industries. Our surge protection devices are excellent for industrial applications, schools, corporate buildings, retail stores and structures that use electronic systems 24/7/365. Keep your doors open for business while safeguarding the purchases your employees depend on for efficiency.
