Total coverage claimed for surge
cancellation
Unlike common surge suppressors that use fixed clamping voltage components, WVR-TSC is fully dynamic, as it can operate over the entire 85 to 265V range.
Zero Surge has developed a novel groundbreaking technology known as WVR-TSC (wide-voltage-range total surge cancellation) Offering unsurpassed powerline protection that totally cancels damaging surge energy, TSC is set to reshape the surge protection industry by establishing never before seen levels of performance and endurance

"TSC is truly a remarkable technology and directly reflects the forward-looking thinking of our advanced team of engineers", noted Rudy Harford, Chief Engineer of Zero Surge.
"Considerable time and R and D was dedicated to this project and I couldn't be more pleased with the result and what we've been able to accomplish".
"When combined with Series Mode, TSC allows Zero Surge to offer its customers, with even the most sensitive and critical applications, the highest level of surge protection and added peace of mind", concluded Harford.
Because TSC cancels damaging surge voltage at the output, terms like response time, clamping voltage, suppressed voltage, let-through voltage, Joule rating, maximum current rating etc, are not relevant.
Also, unlike common surge suppressors that use fixed clamping voltage components, WVR-TSC is fully dynamic, as it can operate over the entire 85 to 265V range.
Fixed clamping voltage components, such as sacrificial metal oxide varistors (MOVs), limit the functionality of surge suppressors, only allowing them to operate over a very narrow voltage range, typically +/-10%.
In addition, Zero Surge's non-MOV filters preserve ground wire integrity, which when used with sensitive equipment, can help eliminate unwanted and annoying interference and damage.
