New Power Quality Management Products Unveiled for Construction/Contracting Industry.

BROOKSVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 1998--Innovative Technology Inc. of Brooksville, Florida recently introduced a new line of AC power Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) under the EQUALIZER(R) brand name.

The new products are certified as meeting the UL 1449/Second Edition and UL1283 standards for electrical safety. The units are designed for commercial and general purpose applications and feature compact design, easy installation and field proven surge suppression technologies. They will be marketed primarily to the local construction and contracting industry. EQUALIZER units are available in 40, 80 and 160KA per phase versions. They are compatible with AC power locations of up to 225, 500 and 2000 amps and provide the convenience of "install and forget", maintenance-free operation.

The heart of the EQUALIZER(R) and the key to its effectiveness is I.T.'s exclusive Surge Management Technology (SMT) coordinated circuit design. The SMT circuit employs advanced computer modeling techniques for circuit design and layout. The resulting circuits provide excellent high frequency response and ultra low impedance surge paths. All aspects of the suppression circuits are coordinated to provide optimum component layout geometry, high peak surge current capability, symmetrical multi-mode current sharing, maximum surge current dissipation and outstanding transient voltage suppression. This integrated design approach sets the EQX apart from other surge suppression devices on the market.

Innovative Technology's field proven Threshold Response Network (TRN)(tm) circuit design is standard on all EQX models. Supplemental multi-stage hybrid Active Response Network (ARN) filters are available on selected models.

EQUALIZER product capabilities are further enhanced by the use of Innovative's unique encapsulation technology; this mitigates the adverse effects of vibration and transient induced thermal cycling. Rigorous high surge current and Measured Limiting (let-through) Voltage product testing assure the EQX models perform as designed.

Easy to select and simple to install, the EQUALIZER is the logical choice for a wide variety of commercial and general purpose surge suppression requirements. Backed by a no hassle 5-year free replacement warranty and I.T.'s superior surge suppression and power quality experience, the new Equalizer(R) models raise the bar for suppression performance and application flexibility for the wholesale TVSS market.
