Zero Surge® Announces GSA Multiple Schedule Award Contractor Status

Revolutionary Wide Voltage Range, Series Mode power quality filters now listed on General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule.

Frenchtown, NJ (PRWEB) September 27, 2006 -- Zero Surge®, a pioneer in surge suppression technology and leading manufacturer of power quality filters, is pleased to announce its multiple schedule award with the United States General Services Administration (GSA). With GSA MSA contracts GS-07F-9608S and GS-07F-9610S, the Federal government, and its various agencies and departments, will now have enhanced access to Zero Surge’s high performance and revolutionary power quality filters, featuring its patented Series Mode™ and Spectrum Wide Voltage Range® (WVR) technologies. Under GSA Schedule #56, Buildings and Building Materials/Industrial Services and Supplies, SIN 412-7, Wall Outlet Surge Protection and Electronic Noise Filter, and SIN 412-8, Hard Wired Surge Protection and EMI/RFI Filtration Devices, Zero Surge will offer its power quality filters at preferred prices and delivery terms for GSA customers.

“Zero Surge’s decision to pursue GSA certification stemmed from the existing use of our products by the Federal government and various branches of the armed services in harsh environments and with critical applications,” noted Rudy Harford, Chief Engineer of Zero Surge. With our product catalog now listed on GSA Advantage, making Zero Surge power quality filters more widely available and easier to acquire, Zero Surge urges all government agencies to reevaluate the powerline protection currently in place throughout their locations and incorporate Series Mode power quality filters for the highest performance and endurance surge protection available,” concluded Mr. Harford.

Unlike common surge suppressors which utilize fixed clamping voltage components, Series Mode power quality filters are filter based and have dynamic clamping voltage capability. Zero Surge’s patented Spectrum WVR® technology enables operation over a wide voltage range, providing powerline protection from 85 to 265 volts, in brownout/blackout conditions and when generators are utilized. Fixed clamping voltage components, such as sacrificial metal oxide varistors (MOVs), limit the functionality of surge suppressors, only allowing them to operate over a very narrow voltage range, typically +/- 10%. MOVs are also known to overheat and in some cases cause fires. The absence of sacrificial MOV components gives Zero Surge products unsurpassed performance and endurance in addition to safety. Zero Surge power quality filters are UL® certified to withstand up to 10 years of the worst case surge conditions (1,000 surges of 6,000V/3,000A) without failure, and divert surges to the neutral wire rather than the ground which is highly recommended for use with interconnected IT equipment. Preserving ground wire integrity can help eliminate unwanted and annoying interference and damage.

For over 17 years, Zero Surge’s patented products have been providing unequaled, unfailing powerline surge protection for numerous industries. The products are available in a variety of configurations, including stand alone, rack mount, modular and panel mount, with current ranges fro 7.5A to 20A. All Zero Surge power quality filters are rugged and built to withstand the most demanding electrical environments. Ensuring an added level of confidence, Zero Surge units come with a 10-year limited warranty and a Lifetime Service Agreement.

Zero Surge power quality filters are available for purchase through GSA Advantage, GSA e-Buy, the GSA Schedules e-Library or by calling 1-800-996-6696. For more information on Zero Surge Inc., please visit www.ZeroSurge.com.
