The surge protection device market is growing due to the increasing use of electronic equipment and the need to safeguard it from power fluctuations. To increase safety and avoid the high costs incurred from equipment downtime, more companies realize the return on investment that SPDs provide and are adopting or designing-in these products. According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, equipment being turned on or off causes 60 to 80% of industrial power surges within a facility. These disruptive, everyday occurrences can be prevented by using an SPD with higher nominal discharge current (20 kA) to avoid unplanned disruptions or stoppages resulting in unfilled orders, missed deadlines, unreliable systems, and/or dangerous situations.
