DC Surge Protection: The Need for DC Protection at Communications Sites

From Transtector Systems, Inc.
 

 

Electrical distribution systems have not changed significantly in decades. Conversely, electrical and electronic
equipment have continued to become more complicated and susceptible to surge damage. Mission critical
communication providers protect their systems from maintenance costs, equipment replacement outlay,
lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction by investing in transient surge protection. Unfortunately with
multiple conductive paths, most communication sites have an aperture to damaging surges.
