Power protection for
manufacturing operations.

Manufacturing lines depend on clean, stable power. PLCs, CNC machines, VFDs, and precision equipment are all vulnerable to the transient voltage events that production environments generate thousands of times per day. When power quality degrades, production stops and scrap rates climb.

The Manufacturing Challenge

Production lines are their own
worst enemy.

Manufacturing environments are electrically hostile. Large motors, VFDs, welders, compressors, and automation systems cycle on and off constantly — each event generating transient voltage spikes that travel through your entire electrical distribution. 80% of damaging transients originate inside the facility, not from the utility.

01
PLC & Control System Failures

Programmable logic controllers are the nervous system of modern manufacturing. Transients cause random faults, program corruption, and I/O module failures that halt production and require costly troubleshooting.

02
CNC & Precision Equipment

CNC machines, laser cutters, and precision measurement equipment require stable power to maintain tolerances. Transients cause positioning errors, tool crashes, and scrap parts that erode margins.

03
VFD & Motor Drive Degradation

Variable frequency drives control everything from conveyor speeds to HVAC. Transients degrade IGBT modules, cause nuisance tripping, and shorten drive life — each replacement costing thousands plus downtime.

04
Production Line Interruptions

A single transient event can lock up a PLC, fault a drive, or corrupt a batch — stopping an entire production line. The cost per hour of unplanned downtime in manufacturing runs from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Documented Results

Common Questions

Frequently asked
questions.

How do transients affect PLCs and CNC equipment?
Transients cause nuisance faults, mid-cycle resets, positioning errors, and premature component failure. Atmel documented losses in the tens of millions per quarter before TPS installation.
What is the typical ROI for manufacturing surge protection?
ROI is typically 2 months to 2 years depending on the operation. Atmel achieved ROI in under 2 months. Western Industrial Tooling had zero equipment failures over 7 years after installation.
Can surge protection reduce VFD failures?
Yes. Nursery Supplies eliminated $40,000 to $60,000 per year in variable frequency drive repairs after installing TPS units across their manufacturing plants.
Does TPS protection work with existing electrical systems?
Yes. TPS units install at service entrance, distribution, and branch circuit levels within your existing electrical infrastructure. No system redesign required.
