Since 1980, Eaton/Innovative Technology has specialized in solving the most difficult electrical transient problems for business, industry, government and defense sectors.

Innovative Technology pioneered Active Tracking Network (ATN), the unique hybrid network design incorporating a variety of components to address the entire spectrum of transient problems. I.T.'s Active Tracking Network (ATN) is the industry's most effective method to protect sensitive electronic equipment. As a technology leader, Innovative Technology remains active in key national and international electrical and TVSS standards such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Industrial Advisory Group, International Electro Technical Commission (IEC) and NEMA Technical Committees.

Innovative Quality, ISO9001

At Innovative Technology quality is designed and built into every product. Innovative Technology's Quality System is certified by the British Standards Institute, recognized worldwide as the foremost accreditation and certifying body.

Innovative Technology products are UL 1449 2nd Edition listed as transient voltage surge suppressors. I.T.'s lab is authorized by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL) to conduct testing to UL 1449 and UL 1283 standards. As such, new and existing product designs are subject to rigorous examination at the factory.

The $26 Billion Per Year Problem

Your power distribution system and attached load equipment is under constant attack from various types of power line disturbances. The result is an estimated $26 billion per year cost to U.S. companies in lost time, equipment repair and equipment replacement. Transient voltage surges comprise the most severe and immediate danger to sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.

Transients are over-voltages or over-currents, typically lasting micro-seconds, that are caused by external and internal events. Lightning, variable speed drives, grid switching and load switching by neighboring facilities can result in transient activity.

Studies have shown that nearly 80% of transient activity at a given facility may be internally-generated. From the normal switching on and off of copiers and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to robotic assembly and welding machines, practically every industrial machine or system causes or is adversely affected by transients. The cumulative effect of these transients causes semi-conductor degradation, equipment destruction, disruption and damage, leading to premature failure, resulting in costly downtime and productivity loss.

All mission-critical electrical and electronic systems should be shielded to prevent disruption, damage and destruction.
