Spring plus Autumn are indeed the seasons which entail most dangers to production goods electrical protect as well as most important information loss within Companies' bosom, due to industry equipment voltage ups and downs as aftermath of electrical thunderstorms greater number.

Following SALICRU's Service & Technical Support Dpt. study, being the Spanish Company leader in power electronics, during last year electrical effects greater number happened in Spring plus Autumn, with records over 28% total in both cases. So in 2008 the month with more effects triggered by weather phenomena was October, followed by April, May and June.

Such weather phenomena, accounting for many power supply outages and disturbances, are liable for 50% electrical and computing equipment problems plus related company information loss around the whole world. This fact implies losses around 26 billion $, pin-pointing Canada's “National Power Quality Laboratory” study results.

The very same aforesaid study tells us that yearly, there are approx. within an office building in any city of the world, 36 voltage peaks, 264 net drops, 128 overvoltages or ups, 289 dropouts less than 4 ms and from 5 to 15 blackouts lasting more than 10 seconds. Statistics-wise, each 100 disturbances, mean 40 which cause data loss or effects on connected charge.

To deal with such electrical storm consequences, power lines must be duly protected. Uninterruptible Power Systems, equipment protect or reduction filters and stabilizers, such as those within SALICRU's range, are indeed key for this target.
