Surge Protection Services
At SineWave Solutions Ltd., we specialize in advanced Surge Arresting Solutions that safeguard your equipment, reduce downtime, and enhance system longevity. Whether caused by lightning, switching events, or internal equipment faults, power surges can damage sensitive electronics and disrupt operations.
With over 30 years of experience in electrical diagnostics and protection strategies, we have found it best to arrest or “attract” the damaging energy out of your system, working with the laws of electricity, rather than trying to work against the laws of electricity and try to suppress it.

Why Surge Protection Matters
Modern electrical systems are more sensitive than ever. Even minor voltage spikes often invisible to the naked eye can cause:
-
Damage to motors, VFDs, and control systems
-
Premature failure of lighting, HVAC, and IT infrastructure
-
Intermittent and hard-to-diagnose operational issues
-
Data loss and system crashes
-
Increased maintenance and repair costs
Surge protection isn’t just a precaution it’s an essential part of maintaining safe, reliable electrical environments.
What Causes Power Surges?
-
Lightning Strikes: Even indirect hits can send damaging voltage through building systems.
-
Utility Grid Switching: Utility disturbances and switching events can create sudden spikes.
-
Equipment Start/Stop: Large motors or compressors within your own facility can cause internal surges.
-
Ground Faults or Improper Bonding: Can exacerbate or fail to dissipate transient energy safely.
Our Surge Protection Services
Site Assessment & Risk Evaluation
We begin by evaluating your facility’s exposure to transient overvoltage risks both external (e.g., lightning) and internal (e.g., switching loads).
Power Quality Monitoring
Using high-resolution analyzers, we can log real-time transient activity to pinpoint surge origin, magnitude, and frequency.
System Design & Device Selection
We recommend and supply appropriately rated Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) for key protection points:
-
Main service entrance
-
Sub-panels
-
Communication and data lines
-
Sensitive or high-value equipment
Installation Support
Whether you need guidance for your in-house electricians or full-service coordination, we ensure SPDs are installed properly for maximum effectiveness.
Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance
We can provide scheduled inspections and testing to confirm devices are still operational especially after major surge events.
Common Issues We Address
Voltage Sags and Surges
Sudden drops or increases in voltage that can damage equipment.
Harmonic Distortion
Non-linear loads causing waveform distortions, leading to overheating and inefficiencies.
Transient Events
Short-duration voltage changes and current surges often resulting from internal switching operations or external events.
Poor Power Factor
Inefficient power usage leading to higher utility costs.
Grounding Issues
Improper grounding causing safety hazards and equipment malfunctions.
