The economic period we are going through undoubtedly teaches us once again how vital production is. The stance taken as a state policy in our country, from the Republic era and even before, moving from agriculture toward industrialization, reaffirms that industrialization—meaning fast and high-quality supply—is just as important as production itself.
Fast and high-quality production, one of the most important elements of industrialization, is equivalent to the continuous and efficient operation of machines. When one machine stops, it fails to provide semi-finished goods to others, causing the entire factory to halt or at least slow down. So, why do machines stop, and what should be done for their continuous and efficient operation?
Ensuring that machines work continuously and efficiently can actually be achieved quite easily with a few simple precautions: performing regular maintenance, adjusting operating temperature values to isolate them from extreme heat or cold, and keeping them as free as possible from dirty and dusty environments.
Even when all these are done, there is one more common problem for almost all industrialists that stops machines or prevents them from working efficiently: overvoltages! Overvoltages account for 90% of the reasons—surpassing dust, mechanical errors, and heat—that cause the electronic boards of industrial machines to burn out. Industrialists have almost succumbed to the perception that electronic boards must inevitably burn out regardless of what they do, and they have added these to their cost tables.
Overvoltages are a common problem for all electricity users, occurring continuously during the startup movements of machines, known as inrush currents (demarage). However, the solution to this has been found by Trimbox, which has been operating in Bursa, Türkiye, for 12 years and is used safely in thousands of machines across almost all of our country’s major brand facilities.
Factories using Trimbox surge suppressors achieve a direct profit of 1,000 USD per machine annually: approximately 500 USD in electronic board repair or acquisition costs and about 500 USD in insurance discounts. When the prevention of production halts—by ensuring machine boards do not burn out—is taken into account, these figures reach much more significant values. Earning a direct annual profit of 1,000 USD with a product worth approximately 100 USD means the product pays for itself in just one month.
When considering that there is an annual loss of 2 Billion USD due to overvoltage-related electronic board damage in our country, it is easily understood that this is a matter requiring a collective solution and awareness among all industrialists.
Especially with Industry 4.0, the reduction of the human factor and the rise of microprocessor-based robotic commands operating with hexadecimal codes bring the importance of Trimbox surge suppressors to the fore once again. This is because overvoltage pulses can cause these systems to issue incorrect commands, and the electronic boards of these systems are extremely expensive.
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 resulting electrical fires.
