The main 6 problems that should be of great concern





Power Cuts 

High Voltage 

Power Back Surges 

Are common events which result in damage or loss of data due to improper shutdowns primarily found in power distribution companies.

As power fluctuates from unreliable mains or poor distribution networks, the mains voltage can drop or rise. This is sustained over voltage event above a certain limit can cause instant irreparable damage.

Commonly occur after power cuts. As the mains supply resumes, it usually returns with a surge which could be quite high and damaging in many instances.




Low Voltage

 Loss of Neutral 

Lightning Surges

 Similarly, drops in voltage can occur often during fluctuations, over stretched distribution network, excessive demand to the size of the utility or being at the end of a long distribution line. Low voltage is particularly damaging to motor driven equipment and especially fridges, freezers and air conditioners

Can happen at any time due to damage to local transformers or substations because of theft of copper rich neutral cables. This is particularly a threat during load shedding where the power lines are inactive.

Whilst the very rare direct hit is near impossible to protect against, the more common voltage surge from nearby activity should be considered and protection measures taken as lightning surges could cause serious damage

What is the difference between True Off Delay and Switch Initiated Delay Off?

Fundamentally, both timers are similar in that they provide a delay period that the relay remains energised for from an initial trigger. However, the trigger method for both is different.
