   ( Spike )

Short Term High Voltage Above 110% of Nominal

Cause

Can be caused by a lightning strike and can send line voltages to levels in excess of 6000 volts. Can be triggered by a rapid reduction in power loads, heavy equipment being turned off, or by utility switching. The results can potentially damage hardware.

Effect

A spike almost always results in data loss or hardware damage.

Solution

Protect your critical equipment with a UPS and TVSS

High Voltage Spike Definition: High voltage spikes occur when there is a sudden, rapid voltage peak of up to 6,000 volts with a duration of 100mS to 1/2cycle These spikes are usually the result of nearby lightning strikes, but there can be other causes as well. The effects on vulnerable electronic systems can include loss of data and burned circuit boards.
