Another innovation in surge suppressors

Our R&D team added a feature called Plus to the GNDSeries products and created a device that opens the residual current relay, if any, and gives a warning and blocks the energy flow until the situation is corrected if the position of the neutral and phase conductors changes for any reason,” said Evren Yurttaş, CEO of Trimbox.

Yurttaş Holding Chairman of the Board and Trimbox CEO Evren Yurttaş announced that they have introduced a new feature to the Trimbox surge suppressor. Yurttaş clarified the issue as follows: “It is known that especially in systems called kiosks, which are used for many tasks from ticketing to reading newspapers that we encounter every day in modern life, the phase-neutral conductors are damaged due to the displacement of the phase-neutral conductors for some reason.

The GNDSeries neutral-earth regulators, which Trimbox began mass production in 2016, have been put into service as a great convenience, especially in systems such as bank ATMs, cash registers, laboratory equipment, laser equipment, where the voltage between neutral-earth is not desired to fluctuate more than 1V and 0.2V.

With the expansion of the product’s field of application, the market started to ask for additional requirements. Yurttaş Holding R&D team, which defines innovation as simplification and evaluates each project accordingly without underestimating it, has realized another innovation.“

Displacement of Phase-Neutral Conductors

“If the residual current relay becomes inactive, it will resume its function of protecting by opening the fuse.“

Yurttaş mentioned that they achieved an innovation together with the R&D team and said, “Especially since GNDSeries products are designed to protect the product and not the system, there can be problems such as using on the outlet and sometimes the outlet is installed upside down and this is already a chronic problem especially in kiosk systems. With the request to create a solution, the R&D team added a feature called Plus to the GNDSeries products and created a device that, in case of a change in the position of the neutral and phase conductors for any reason, it gives a warning by turning on the residual current relay, if any, and blocking the power flow until the situation is corrected.

It was observed that the device performs its protective function by opening the fuse when the residual current relay required in the system is inactive. The market price of the devices, which have reached the final stage of testing and field application, has been set at TL 699”.

Yurttaş said that “GNDSeries is also known to do a number of things that are described as a revolution in the electrical world, such as preventing the formation of interference in audio and video systems caused by grounding, preventing the formation of voltage in the metal body when there is poor grounding or no grounding, and preventing shocks.

The GND Series, with its ability to protect products from voltage fluctuations with the single-phase Trimbox surge protector, is preferred in many laboratory, medical imaging, ATM, cash register, laser equipment and audio systems, especially in the telecom industry.“
