How does a Leveler solution compare to a surge suppression-only device?

To demonstrate Leveler's surge suppression effectiveness, within a state-of-the-art laboratory we created a simulated destructive surge that could pass from the power utility into a home's or business's electrical infrastructure. We compared the performance of a comparably load-rated Industrial Grade Surge suppressor that is representative of the previous generation of technology. Next, we subjected the new generation Leveler technology to the same simulated surge event. In each case we measured the OUTPUT of the protective device to examine the quality of power that was moving on to the computer.

This first graph shows the quality of the Volts (Green), Amps (Blue), and Watts(Red) experienced by a computer during a 6000V, 500A Normal Mode Surge when protected by a commonly-used Industrial-Grade Surge Suppressor.


The Computer on the output side of this particular Suppressor experiences a 530 Volts, 180 Amps energy increase for 72 microseconds.

This is a disruptive event with results ranging from data corruption to component failure.

The Leveler Difference...

And this graph illustrates what a computer experiences during the same 6000 Volt, 500 Amp Normal Mode surge with Leveler Protection.

The Computer protected by Leveler technology experiences a 90V, 36A energy increase for only 1 microsecond.

The event goes by unnoticed by the computer. The energy rise is within the tolerance of the computer power supply.
