Green Power Quaility
PowerGuide Systems, Inc. was invited to showcase Alltec Corporation’s PowerTrip® line of surge suppression devices and lightning protection products at a Green Power event hosted by the Computer Support Center, Inc (CSCI) in Makati July 31, 2009. The event was attended by executives of leading Philippine information technology firms and highlighted environmentally friendly solutions for Green Power.
Information technology plays an important role in our lifestyles and has changed the way we live and work. Regards of information technology benefits, this equipment uses electricity and leave its own carbon footprints, albeit carbon footprints that are generally not as large as those in other industries. Computer Support Center, Inc. believes that ways should be found to make these devices less environmentally harmful and find ways to employ power more efficiently.
CSCI revealed its Green Power UPS during the event. Its Green Power line is compatible with all communication protocols and supports the remote communication services proposed by Socomec UPS, therefore guaranteeing round-the-clock monitoring of the UPS 365 days a year, with user assistance in system monitoring questions. These are all features designed to reduce economic and environmental costs, while guaranteeing the efficient operation of the user’s systems and circuits.
PowerGuide Systems, Inc., specializing in the distribution and installation of power quality products that offer effective protection from direct lightning strikes and voltage surges, introduced to event attendees PowerTrip® surge suppression devices and lightning protection equipment. Over a hundred guest from major contractor firms, electrical design companies, and manufacturing firms were familiarized with how these products could help protect and secure their investments, operations, and personnel from harmful transients and atmospheric phenomena, such as lightning strikes.
Stainless Steel Electrolytic Grounding Systems
Metals are never completely immune to corrosion. The only exceptions are gold and silver in their natural states. Stainless steel, however, has proven to be one of the most economical solutions to combat the common elements that cause this chemical breakdown.
TerraDyne® SS is a stainless steel multipurpose grounding system designed to provide long term protection from lightning, electrical transients, static discharges, electro-magnetic interference, and other electrical hazards .
TerraDyne® SS is intended for use in any type of soil condition. Made of austenitic stainless steel containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel, it is highly resistant to the corrosive effects of the most acidic soil environment. Additionally, galvanic series charts indicate that stainless steel is much more cathodic than many metals, including copper, resulting in less corrosion due to galvanic reaction in applications where this might be a major concern.
Protecting your expensive equipment is essential. TerraDyne® SS enhances the performance of your electronics, stabilizes signal references and reduces the risk of injuries. The end result is a stable grounding system that provides undisturbed long-term performance while maintaining cost efficiency.
TerraDyne® SS Applications:
- Petrochemical Facilities
- Pipelines
- Industrial plants
- Cellular, radio and television broadcasting sites
- Computer facilities
- Power substations
- Communication centers
Remember: Stainless steel electrolytic grounding systems typically resist deterioration, caused by the galvanic reaction between dissimilar metals buried in the same vicinity, much better than copper systems.

DC Transient Voltage Surge Suppression
Extremely low let through voltage performance for DC Surge Suppression
Today enterprises rely more heavily than ever on high speed mission critical electrical equipment. The tradeoff for faster speed, however, is that equipment is becoming increasingly more susceptible to electrical surges. The PowerTrip® Model PTE-OT (DC) devices provide the most unique transient protection available for series connected individual applications. These premier products offer safety at locations. They are extremely effective in limiting transients generated at the facility, yet strong enough for first line protection.
Alltec’s DC TVSS unit is that it has a 25 year unlimited free replacement warranty, and it is paramount in the industry. It has twice the Maximum Surge Current capacity of other TVSS products, maintains operational integrity under severe conditions, and dramatically reduces software confusion. Applications include remote cameras, solar power system controllers, PLC controllers, RTU data collection & acquisition equipment, DC Power supplies & distribution systems, & DC fed communication and control equipment.
Since 1991, Alltec Corporation has offered a comprehensive facility protection approach to solving the world’s most difficult lightning, grounding, and power quality problems. As “Solution Providers for an Energized World ™,” their highly qualified engineers continuously innovate new products and services in order to implement the best possible solutions. PowerTrip®’s DC Transient Voltage Surge Suppression products offer the highest level of protection possible to meet these needs.
