WHY THE SURGE ARRESTER BURNS?

Ensuring the safety of voltage and current circulation is important both in terms of health and material.The surge arrester is one of the main systems that provide this security.In situations such as static electricity or lightning strikes accumulated in the system, surge arresters are used to prevent damage to the installation and used equipment. However, it is not possible to say that surge protectors provide 100% security. On the other hand, it is useful to take precautions about the surge arrester burning to avoid the cost of repair and replace.

What Are the Causes of Surge Arrester Burning?
There can be many causes of burning.Incorrect connection, choosing a surge arrester that can not handle the current in the system, not having routine maintenance will cause the surge arrester failure.When controls and maintenance are made frequently it is possible to avoid user-induced faults, but high voltage risk is always present.

Exceeding the Upper Limit Voltage
It is not possible to estimate the lightning current and voltage.Although it is possible to take some precautions with surge arresters placed at a certain distance, it is always possible that the upper limit is exceeded.Even if the selection of the surge arrester is made according to the requirements of the installation, it is not possible to get rid of this risk literally.Therefore, it is necessary to use surge suppressor stabilizing devices to prevent lightning strikes and static electricity induced voltages and currents from damaging the surge arrester.

Space and Climate Related Factors
Surge arresters can break down in dusty, humid and damp environments.Particularly at coastal areas, surgeons should be cleaned frequently, and moisture and humidity must be removed.If the items in the hardware rust, surge arrester burning is inevitable.
It should also be noted that if the situation is not noticed and the necessary maintenance is not done, the surge arrester will provide no protection.

How the Surge Arrester Burning Can Be Prevented?
The surge arrester selection should be done in a suitable manner, the equipment should be selected after grounding resistance and voltage values are measured.It must be continuously checked against the situations such as the damp, dusting and the necessary maintenances must be performed. According to the size of the plant, it is possible to avoid exceeding the voltage limit by placing more than one surge arrester at regular intervals.

If there is a faulty surge arrester in the system, it should be replaced whenever it is noticed.By applying them, a little precaution can be taken.The risk will not disappear completely.Continuous control will be difficult to provide, even the slightest factor that escapes the eye may cause the surge arrester to fail to work.This will also bring their replacement costs.However, it is possible to completely avoid problems such as the burning of the surge arrester by purchasing Trimbox.

Trimbox Can Be Used Instead of Surge Arrester?
If Trimbox is installed in an electrical installation, there is no need to use surge arresters.Because Trimbox damps over-voltages on one hand and prevents internal and external current peaks from entering the system, it prevents electrical systems from being damaged.In addition, it can be used for a long time because it does not break down due to humidity, dust and dirt such as surge arrester. The upper voltage limit of the Trimbox is considerably higher than any surge arrester and exceeding this limit can be considered an extraordinary situation.In this case, however, the Trimbox automatically disconnects the network connection, prevents the current to pursue to the installation.

In this respect, it can be said that it is much safer and more functional than standard surge arresters.Trimbox also functions as a surge arrester in places where it is used, thus completely preventing defects such as surge arrester burning in installations with surge arresters.

By using Trimbox, you can protect your home and your business from lightning.
