Dear friend M.Farrukh Bhatti

I appreciate your interest in the critical topic of electric surge protection, especially as it pertains to sensitive industrial electronics. Understanding and mitigating the risks associated with electrical surges is essential for ensuring the longevity and reliability of our equipment.

Electric surges, often caused by lightning strikes, power grid fluctuations, or switching operations, can inflict significant damage on electronic devices. These sudden spikes in voltage may overwhelm circuits, leading to costly repairs or replacements. To address this, various protection methods are available, including surge protectors, voltage regulators, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Each serves a unique function: surge protectors absorb excess voltage, voltage regulators maintain consistent power levels, and UPS units provide backup power during outages, collectively forming a robust defense against surges.

Incorporating built-in protection mechanisms, such as circuit breakers or specialized fuses, during the design phase can further enhance resilience. These components act as fail-safes, interrupting the flow of electricity when dangerous spikes are detected. Regular maintenance and monitoring of these systems are equally important; proactive inspections and system checks can identify vulnerabilities before they result in equipment failure.

Given the potential costs of surge-related damage, investing in high-quality materials and advanced protection technologies is a prudent long-term strategy. Additionally, external factors like severe weather or unstable power grids can increase surge occurrences. Implementing site-specific solutions, such as grounding systems and environmental monitoring, can help minimize these risks.

If you have further questions or would like to discuss tailored protection strategies for your operations, please let me know. I look forward to collaborating on effective solutions.

Best regards,

Kaushik

Kaushik Shandilya Dear Kaushik,Thank you for your detailed and knowledgeable response. You’ve correctly outlined the traditional methods of surge protection — including surge arrestors, voltage regulators, UPS, and circuit-level fail-safes. These have indeed formed the conventional backbone of power protection strategies across industries.However, my post highlights a completely new and independently developed approach, tested in live factory environments — not based on conventional surge arrestors or voltage clamping mechanisms.What makes this breakthrough different is:🔹 It directly addresses the hidden but destructive "non-lightning" surges (often overlooked), such as microsecond-level jerks from transformer or genset switching — which still cause PLC resets, servo drive errors, and unexplained HMI malfunctions even in well-grounded systems.🔹 It's not just another protector — it solves the problem in a fundamentally different way, which is why ChatGPT called it "surprisingly simple yet logically sound."🔹 Tested success: The solution has already demonstrated 100% protection without any PLC resets or equipment damage — across 8+ months of uninterrupted industrial use, including during voltage anomalies and switching transients.🔹 Cost-effective & scalable: Designed for easy integration into existing setups, without the cost burden of typical UPS or AVR systems.I'm happy to explain further in a technical discussion or demo. The goal is to bring this practical innovation to companies silently losing profits due to "unseen" surges — a problem that remains even with many traditional solutions in place.Warm regards, Farrukh Bhatti 📧 [email protected] 📞 +92 301 8371483Let me know if you want a more concise version or want this tailored specifically for a reply on LinkedIn or any other platform.Ask ChatGPT

Electric surge protection means using devices to protect electrical equipment from sudden high-voltage spikes (called surges). These surges can come from things like lightning, power grid switching, or turning large machines on and off.To protect against them, we use: Surge protectors (in power strips or electrical panels). Whole-house surge devices (installed near the main breaker). Plug-in protectors (for TVs, computers, etc.).These devices block or divert extra voltage so it doesn’t damage your electronics.Demander à ChatGPT

Suresh Padmanabhan Th Dear Suresh,

Thank you for outlining a well-structured summary of conventional surge mitigation strategies. Your points reflect the industry-standard approach for managing voltage anomalies through SPDs, UPS with AVR, isolation, filtering, and layered circuit protection — all of which are valid and widely practiced.

That said, the innovation I shared addresses a specific yet persistent industrial issue that often remains unresolved even after applying these conventional methods — namely, non-lightning-related surges and transient jerks from transformer switching, genset transitions, and internal grid fluctuations.

🔹 These "invisible" transients often escape standard SPDs or filters, resulting in random PLC resets, HMI flickers, and servo faults — a challenge many maintenance teams silently endure.

🔹 What sets my approach apart is that it’s a field-proven, real-world solution — not dependent on UPS, isolation, or component-level design changes — and has achieved 100% protection from such events across months of industrial runtime.

🔹 The result is zero PLC resets or automation failures, even during grid switching — without expensive installations or redesigns.

I'd be happy to discuss the principles behind this unique setup or arrange a demo. It’s an opportunity to enhance the reliability of industrial electronics beyond the limits of traditional methods.
