Sola Surge Protection

High-energy transients either externally or internally generated pose an immediate threat to the reliability and performance of your sensitive electronic equipment. SolaHD recommends placing high-energy Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) on key panels throughout your facility. Within your facility, motors, inductive loads and various equipment load switching can cause damage or costly downtime.

Our surge-protective devices focus on limiting high-voltage spikes to a level that is acceptable to most electronic equipment. Plus, they’re a great first line of defense, using components that are placed in parallel with the line and serve as clamping mechanisms for high-energy impulses. Protection at this level is referred to in the industry as Sine Wave Tracking or electronic grade. Surge Protective Devices are typically installed at service entrances and on larger distribution panels.

Sola STF Active Tracking Filters®
Low voltage/high frequency noise is caused by everyday events such as turning on machinery, motors, or equipment.
Although noise is less dramatic than high voltage transients, the long term effects of these frequent disturbances can be as damaging. Filtering systems such as Sola Active Tracking Filters provide clean AC power by eliminating lower voltage noise.

The Sola STF Series offers the original active tracking technology to guard against commonly occurring, but very damaging, lower energy transients. Offering excellent noise reduction, the filter continuously tracks the input AC power line and
responds instantly upon detecting extraneous high frequency noise.

The STF Series eliminates low voltage/high frequency noise via a low-pass or L-C filter. These filters are used for low
energy, high frequency noise reduction and consist of a series of inductors, capacitors and resistors. STFs are load
dependent which means that the series inductors located on each phase and neutral conductors are sized to handle the maximum current draw on the line. These inductors together with the capacitors and resistors form a circuit capable of absorbing a large bandwidth of noise.

These devices are designed to meet UL 1283, and CSA C22.2 for Electromagnetic Interference Filters. STFs attenuate or
reduce the amplitude of noise to a minimum of 40dB that occurs in a frequency range of 50KHz to 50MHz. STFs provide the industry’s best IEEE Category “A” protection, typically reducing normal mode transients to +/- 5 volts.

Built to meet your unique requirements, these filters are available in a multitude of voltage and phase configurations. They
are hardwired and designed for years of trouble free operation requiring little or no operator intervention after installation.

Sola STC Data/Signal Line Surge Protection
Sola Surge Protection Devices (SPD's) provide complete industrial strength protection from transients at critical loads such as control panel applications by incorporating a multi-stage strategy. This approach involves clamping the initial high-energy impulse, filtering any remaining noise or transients to the PLC or sensitive equipment and finally, protecting the Data/Signal lines entering and leaving the control panel. Modern, networked industrial facilities require error free transmission of information for maximum productivity and data integrity.

Sola Data/Signal Line surge protection devices multi-stage hybrid design to achieve quick response with high energy absorption. These units are available in a variety of application specific voltage levels and packaging configurations. The STC series is used to protect network signal lines entering or leaving control panels including PLCs, universal remote I/O, DeviceNetTM and Data Highway Plus.

The rapid development of automated controls, telecommunications and fire/security systems has made it imperative to have properly coordinated low-voltage protection. Modern networked industrial facilities require error free transmission of
information for maximum productivity and integrity of data. The Sola STC series protects all susceptible low-voltage cable routes entering a facility and at key points within the building.

Sola STC-PoE Series for Category 5 Power-over-Ethernet and Category 6 Applications
The Sola STC-PoE Series is designed to work on Cateogroy 5 PoE transmission lines as well as Category 6 applications.
They feature both female to female and male to female RJ-45 connection options for ease of installation.

Powe-over-Ethernet is a technology for wired Ethernet is a technology for wired Ethernet LANs (Local Area Networks) that allows the electrical current to be carried by the data cables rather than power cords. This minimizes the number of wires
that must be strung in order to install the network. The result is lower cost, less downtime, easier maintenance and greater installation flexibility than with traditional wiring.

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) allows users to power devices over Ethernet cabling. Power and networking is provided over a
single cable. PoE has tremendous advantages in industrial applications. The ease of combining signal and power in a single Ethernet cable connection is contributing to the already rapid evolution of the Ethernet-based industrial control systems. Category 5e and Category 6 commonly known as Cat5e and Cat6 are the most widely used Ethernet connectivity methods
on the market today. Cat5e and Cat6 are defined in ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B standard for Unshielded Twisted Pair Cabling.
