Who is Innovative Technology (IT)

• Innovative Technology was founded in 1980 in
  Brooksville, Florida.
• Became Premier Product Line in the Industry
  Before Being Purchase By Eaton in 2003.
• Product Manufactured in Raleigh, North Carolina.
• Distributed Exclusively Through Trained Master
  Distributors.

What are Transient Voltage Surges?

• Per NEMA -- Surges, or transients, are brief
  overvoltage spikes or disturbances on a power
  waveform that can damage, degrade, or destroy
  electronic equipment within any home, commercial
  building, or manufacturing facility. Transients
  can reach amplitudes of tens of thousands of
  volts. Surges are measured in microseconds
• Per UL The unpredictable nature of surges makes
  it difficult to suppress them you never know
  when, how long or how powerful they will be
• Per Nema and Others - Possible symptoms of surges
  are
• Premature aging and failure of equipment
• Lost productivity/down time
• Data Interruption
• Insulation degradation
• Per GE Study-- 80 of surges are generated inside
  a facility and 20 are external.

5
Are Surges Really a Problem?

• Everyone is familiar with the Classic External
  Catastrophic Surge

6
Are Surges Really a Problem?

• Are you familiar with the subtle damage?

Cumulative
Catastrophic
7
Are Surges Really a Problem?

• Are you familiar with the subtle damage?

• Insulation rating on conductors is typically
  twice line voltage plus 1000V
• Transient voltages can be well in excess of 20kV
  insulation breakdown and motor winding failure
  can occur

8
Are Surges Really a Problem?

• Dont Believe Us, See What Other Are Saying

IEEE - Std1100-1999 (Emerald Book), Section 3.4.3
Surges can have many effects on equipment
ranging from no detectable effect to complete
destruction. State Farm Insurance Each time
a surge occurs, the damage to the electronic or
electrical appliance accumulates, weakening the
appliance components until the finally
fail. National Lightning Institute Damage
from electrical transients, or surges, is one of
the leading causes of electrical equipment
failure FM Global Electrical breakdowns due to
overvoltages due to lightning are responsible for
considerable property damage and business
interruption. 3-4 of claims are result of
lightning damage.

How Can Innovative Technology Benefit Me?

• Increase in Productivity
• What is your cost of downtime if a minor piece of
  equipment (PC board) fails? Now, think if you had
  a catastrophic failure of a major piece of
  equipment with a long lead time?
• Reduced Cost of Maintenance
• UL - states that electrical equipment should
  expect a 35 to 40 longer life span if transient
  surges are eliminated.
• Return on Investment
• IEEE C62.41, 2.2.7 - The cost of surge protection
  can be small, compared to overall system cost and
  benefits in performance. Therefore, added
  quality and performance in surge protection may
  be chosen as a conservative engineering approach
  to compensate for unknown variables in the other
  parameters. This approach can provide excellent
  performance in the best interest of the user,
  while not significantly affecting overall system
  cost.

Why Innovative Technology?

• Leading Manufacturer
• Eaton/IT has been in the business of surge
  protection for over 25 years. Our experience is
  longer than most in the industry have been in
  business. Be wary of start up or companies with a
  lack of experience and reputation
• Encapsulation Technology
• Encapsulation provides high dielectric strength,
  superior thermal dissipation, harmful environment
  protection, and smaller size.
• 20 Year Warranty
• Our Protector 20 Year Warranty exceeds the amount
  of time some TVSS manufacturers have been in
  business. Our product is robust and built to
  last.
• Trained Distribution Network
• Our distributors are trained in TVSS application
  to provide customers with the proper protection.

Case Studies

• McDonalds
• Problem Electrical storms caused power
  disturbances to cash registers, time clocks,
  equipment, and store lighting. This had been a
  problem for many years resulting in high repair
  costs
• Solution Installation of Protector which
  Eliminated the problems
• Ford Motor
• Problem PC boards for robotic welders were
  blowing at a rate of 4 to 8 boards per robot
  daily. Repair costs were averaging 55,000 a
  month per robot
• Solution Installation of Protection TVSS with
  the result of Improvement in overall operation
  was dramatic. Board loss and downtime
  disappeared
• Alfred I. Dupont Institute
• Problem Electrical surges caused poor X-ray
  images when a new digital radiology computer was
  installed in a childrens hospital
• Solution Power is cleaner, images are clear, and
  a million dollar investment is now completely
  protected product is robust and built to last.

Case Studies
Hello Mr. Derbyshire, We want to inform you that
we recently installed one of the Innovative
Technologies TVSS units that we purchased from
you. The Unit is a Model PTE300-1S101D-SD,
(Serial Number 710006). The unit was installed
on one of our radio shelters at White Sands
Missile Range. The utility power line was struck
by lightning a couple of weeks later. The TVSS
unit did exactly what it was supposed to. We
believe the downstream equipment was not damaged
and is functioning properly... Very Impressive...
The TVSS unit of course is TOAST...(see attached
photo) I understand that we have a 20 year
replacement warranty. I would like to get a
replacement TVSS unit for this site to protect if
from further surges. Thank You, David H.
