The SMP circuit is not simply designed to protect from a catastrophic surge, such as a lightning strike, it is engineered to provide maximum life to connected equipment. This means it not only protects from devastating spikes and surges, but also offers protection from the dozens to hundreds of small spikes and surges that your equipment is exposed to on a daily basis. These common voltage surges, although small, can have a serious adverse effect over the long-term. Even when protected by a standard surge protector, digital circuits can see long-term damage due to exposure to voltage on the ground line, causing intermittent behavior, equipment lock-ups, and data loss.
By absorbing these everyday surges without deterioration of the circuit or contamination of the ground line, Furman SMP maximizes the longevity of connected equipment and minimizes the risk of downtime or failure in mission-critical applications.
