Critical operations depend on technology that performs under pressure. As an authorized TPS dealer, we help facilities identify electrical vulnerabilities and deploy proven protection solutions, before a failure makes the decision for you.
Voltage spikes, surges, and transients occur thousands of times daily in any facility with motors, HVAC, elevators, or heavy equipment. Most are invisible until they cause damage.
Most facilities focus on lightning and utility events. But 85% of damaging transients are generated inside the building, by the equipment you depend on every day.
Premature equipment failure, unexplained downtime, and shortened hardware lifecycles are often symptoms of chronic power quality issues, not individual events.
NEC 2020 establishes clear requirements for surge protection in critical and emergency systems. Facilities that don't meet these standards carry both operational and regulatory exposure.
FedEx Worldwide Protection calculates the cost of adequate surge protection at roughly 1.02% of total protected asset value. The cost of unprotected equipment failure is rarely that predictable.
FedEx Worldwide Protection FrameworkTotal Protection Solutions (TPS) manufactures some of the most rigorously engineered surge protection devices available for commercial and critical infrastructure applications. Their product line covers service entrance, distribution, branch circuit, and point-of-use protection: with a 30-year warranty that reflects genuine confidence in the product.
Pearl Snap Consulting is an authorized TPS dealer serving Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. We bring the consulting perspective to the protection conversation. We help facilities understand their actual vulnerability before recommending a solution, not the other way around. When we identify a technology vulnerability in your operations, we can address it directly. No separate vendors. No coordination gaps. Single-source accountability from assessment through installation.
TPS products are purpose-built for demanding environments, including emergency operations centers, government facilities, data centers, warehouses, public safety communications centers, and ski resorts where equipment failure simply isn't an option.
TPS products carry a 30-year warranty: a direct reflection of their build quality and performance under real operating conditions.
TPS devices carry a 30-year warranty, the strongest available in the industry. One procurement decision provides protection across multiple equipment lifecycles and budget cycles.
The FedEx Worldwide framework benchmarks comprehensive surge protection at approximately 1.02% of total protected asset value. For most facilities, it's one of the highest-ROI infrastructure investments available.
IBM research consistently shows that unplanned downtime costs organizations far more than the equipment that failed. Power protection doesn't appear on the balance sheet until you need it and don't have it.
The 2020 National Electrical Code establishes mandatory surge protection requirements for critical and emergency systems. TPS solutions are designed to meet or exceed each of these articles.
| Article | Application | Requirement | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 700.8 | Emergency Systems | Surge protective devices required for all emergency system switchboards and panelboards | Mandatory |
| 708.20 | Critical Operations Power Systems | SPDs required for COPS service entrance equipment and critical branch panelboards | Mandatory |
| 645.18 | Information Technology Equipment | Surge protection required for IT equipment rooms and data processing environments | Mandatory |
| 620.51 | Elevators & Escalators | SPDs required on elevator feeder and branch circuits | Mandatory |
