 Electric
power is a very necessary power in our daily life. The demand for
electric power is still increasing while the ability of producing
electric power is stable. As a result in over demand which decrease
the continuation and stability of electricity. It also depends on
the ability of electric power generating factory and power transporting
system. |

Clean Power... |

Clean Power (Pure Sine Wave)
is the most suitable for electric appliances such as Computer, Server,
etc. because clean power gives only pure electric power without
any power problems. Unfortunately power from a supply point is not
a steady flow of electricity. There are numerous variations in supply,
including sudden impulses, bursts, dip, power generating factory,
natural disaster and etc. Some of these variations can be highly
destructive to sensitive equipment.
Here are power supply problems that could damage your data software
and hardware. |

Power events can be
divided as following: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cause
Occur when there is an exceed demand of electricity or locate far
from electricity transporting station.
Effect
Can cause computer malfunction, damage hardware and sometime cause
the system failure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cause
Cause by resident or company locates near the electricity transporting
station or electric generating factory.
Effect
Depreciate life span of the electric appliances and sometime cause
the system failure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cause
High-powered electrical motors, such as household appliances in
the vicinity. When this equipment is switched off, the extra voltage
is dissipated through the power line.
Effect
Computer and similar sensitive electronic devices are designed to
receive power within a certain voltage range. Anything outside of
expected peak and RAM (considered the "average" voltage) levels
will stress delicate components and cause premature failure. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cause
Typically caused by the start-up power demands of many electrical
devices (including motors, compressors, etc.), sags are also the
electric utilities' means of coping with extraordinary power demands.
In a procedure known as "Rolling Brownouts", the utility will systematically
lower voltage levels in certain areas for hours or days at a time.
Hot summer day, when air condition requirements are at their peak,
will often prompt rolling brownouts.
Effect
A sag can "starve" a computer of the power it need to function,
causing frozen keyboards and unexpected system crashed with the
end result being the loss or corruption of data. Sags also reduce
the efficiency and life span of electrical equipment, particularly
motors. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cause
Typically caused by a nearby lighting strike, spikes can also occur
when utility power comes back on line after having been knocked
out in a strom or as the result of a car accident.
Effect
Catastrohic damage to hardware. High voltage impulses can blow holes
in delicate micro-chip traces. Also effect include corrupted data,
printer or terminal errors, and data processing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cause
Cause by many factors and phenomena, including lighting, load switching,
generators, radio transmitters and equipment. It may be intermittent
or chronic.
Effect
Introduce glitches and error into executable programs and data files. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cause
Excessive demand of power the grid, lightning storms, ice on power
lines, car accidents, backhoes, earthquakes, etc.
Effect
Loss of current work in RAM or cache, possible loss of hard drive
File Allocation Table (FAT) resulting in total loss of data stored
on drive. |
