Tonnage scales have diverse areas of use, with some capable of weighing up to two thousand tons today. They are primarily used to determine the weight of cargo by weighing transport vehicles both empty and full. Additionally, they are set up by highway inspection stations along roadsides to prevent vehicles from entering traffic with loads that could damage the asphalt due to overloading or interfere with the correct operation of mechanisms such as brakes.

Tonnage scales generally experience malfunctions in their most critical components: the load cells. Load cells determine the corresponding weight by converting the pressure applied to them into electrical signals.

Load cells can be designed for capacities ranging from 50g to 2000 tons. Their areas of use span across many weight measurement sectors, from laboratory scales to bagging machines, and from platform scales to heavy tonnage scales.

Load cells, especially in heavy tonnage scales, can malfunction due to the effects of lightning—which can be effective within a 1.5km radius through the ground—and due to neutral-to-ground voltage issues related to grounding.

As Trimbox, with our GNDSeries neutral-to-ground regulators, we ensure that the neutral-to-ground voltage remains at desired values. Furthermore, with the integrated surge suppressor circuit, we prevent lightning and similar issues from burning out the devices.

Simple precautions sometimes save lives. The best investment we can make for our family, our business, and our environment is protective measures. With Trimbox and GNDSeries, you can be protected from electricity-related damages and electrical contact fires caused by them.
