Protecting Sensitive Laboratory Equipment

Sensitive electronic equipment in laboratories, such as spectrometers and analytical balances, is highly vulnerable to voltage fluctuations. Even minor sags or surges can cause data corruption, operational faults, or permanent hardware damage. A Voltage Protection Device is installed to shield this critical equipment.

The device is connected between the main power supply and the equipment rack. It continuously monitors the incoming line voltage. If it detects a voltage surge (e.g., from a lightning strike or power grid switching) that exceeds a safe threshold, it instantly clamps the voltage to a protective level, diverting excess energy away from the equipment. Conversely, if a brownout or sag occurs, the device's under-voltage protection feature will disconnect the power after a brief delay to prevent malfunction. Once stable voltage is restored for a predetermined period, it automatically reconnects the power.

This proactive protection ensures the integrity of experiments, prevents costly downtime for repairs or recalibration, and significantly extends the lifespan of the valuable laboratory instruments, providing peace of mind and operational continuity.
