Protecting High-End AV Equipment and Electronics Starts at the Plug

Zero Surge offers 100% surge protection / 0% failure series mode filters.

Frenchtown, NJ (PRWEB) June 15, 2006 -- From the moment that high-end AV equipment and electronics are plugged in, they immediately become a target for a powerline surge that could fry their internal circuitry and render them useless. Fresh on the heels of InfoComm 2006, where the global audiovisual (AV) industry came together to showcase its latest and greatest technologies, it’s even more important that those involved with AV applications recognize the importance of powerline surge protection and make it a necessity for their costly investments and purchases, not an afterthought. Zero Surge, manufacturer of revolutionary Series Mode power quality filters, offers the ultimate in surge protection that AV buyers can rely on to keep their equipment up and running and shielded from even the most destructive surges.

The world’s largest AV tradeshow, InfoComm draws the attention of various markets, including business, education and government, as well as healthcare, retail, sports, entertainment, museums, worship and an increasingly sophisticated residential market. The launch pad for a number of advancements in high-end AV equipment and electronics, products introduced at InfoComm will soon be mainstream and will require the level of protection that Zero Surge has to offer - 100% surge protection with 0% failure. For over 16 years, Zero Surge’s patented products have been providing unequalled, unfailing powerline surge protection for numerous industries. Ranging from the convenient and economical 2R-Series, featuring two outlet units, to the more fully-featured 8R-Series, with eight outlets and a built-in circuit breaker to prevent overloading, Zero Surge power filters are rugged and built to withstand the most demanding electrical environments.

“Electricity is unreliable and unpredictable,” noted Rudy Harford, Chief Engineer of Zero Surge. “The downtime of losing critical electronic equipment due to a power surge could be more costly in the long run than the purchase itself. For AV buyers, failing to integrate high-end powerline surge protection, especially when the cost is incremental compared to the initial investment, is like playing a game of Russian Roulette with their equipment,” concluded Mr. Harford.

Unlike competitive products that utilize tiny, sacrificial metal oxide varistors (MOVs) to divert surge current to the “ground” wire and endanger interconnected equipment, Zero Surge’s power quality filters perform as a tranquilizer on the surge current and suppress even the most destructive strikes, dissipating them harmlessly over the neutral wire.

In addition, Zero Surge’s non-MOV filters preserve ground wire integrity, which when used AV equipment, can help eliminate unwanted and annoying interference that can adversely affect sound and graphics quality.. Moreover, MOV-based surge suppressors have a history of overheating and causing fires. When hit with powerful surges, MOVs have been known to explode, and they deteriorate with use, losing their effectiveness with no outward sign of the degradation. Ensuring an added level of confidence, Zero Surge units will not wear out, and each one comes with a 10-year limited warranty and a Lifetime Service Agreement.

In business since 1989, the company’s patented filters eliminate the surge damage and equipment loss often experienced with sacrificial MOV (metal oxide varistor) type surge suppressors. Zero Surge Inc. has over 50 models accommodating a wide range of applications. Corporations, medical operations, universities, ocean vessels, the U.S. military and government, manufacturing plants, banks, utilities, and homeowners are just some of the customers relying on Zero Surge filters. The products do not contain sacrificial MOVs which wear out with use, can fail, and have caused fires.
