October 29, 2008 - Today's engineers are designing sophisticated control systems that bring higher productivity to meet ever increasing expectations of performance, all the while keeping system costs under control. In order to achieve these results, they are employing electronic equipment adopted from non-industrial applications that is highly sensitive to the inherently poor power environment of an industrial facility, producing a variety of costly power and electrical noise problems.Chloride, a leading supplier of power protection solutions, is addressing this issue with its newest white paper "Protecting Mission Critical Electronics In The Industrial Environment." Paul Haake, Vice President of Engineering for Chloride, authored the paper.
Haake recommends that manufacturers use a Total Protection Solution to safeguard mission critical systems." The Total Protection Solution requires that each and every input and output line, whether power or data, be examined and appropriately protected against likely hazards," explains Haake. "Achievement of this level of protection usually requires the use of industrial grade components, along with a combination of devices such as surge protectors, power conditioners, power conditioned uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), as well as appropriate grounding techniques."
