As is well known, simultaneous long-term power outages occurred in many parts of Türkiye. Following this, authorities issued consecutive warnings to citizens to turn off their main switches and to keep them in the “off” position for another 15 minutes after power is restored.
Some electricity and natural gas distribution companies also sent messages to their subscribers, trying to prevent potential voltage fluctuations from causing various damages to combi boilers and white goods. Additionally, many public institutions, such as hospitals, issued warnings to keep their switches in the “off” position when electricity returns to their facilities.
Practices such as keeping switches turned off during a power failure are primitive but traditional protection methods currently applied almost worldwide. However, during power outages, instantaneous high-voltage pulses—referred to as “peaks”—occur not only when the electricity returns but also at the moment it goes out. Furthermore, instantaneous flickers cause much larger high-voltage pulses.
Regardless of the cause of the power outages, it is a fact known and confirmed by all authorities—and even citizens without technical knowledge of electricity—that they cause damage to electrical devices. In this sense, while the return of electricity can perhaps be partially addressed with this traditional protection method of turning off the switch, such a solution cannot be applied at the moment the outage occurs. There is actually a solution presented from Türkiye that eliminates all these negative consequences: Trimbox.
Trimbox ensures the protection of electrical devices against power flickers, lightning, and transformer explosions by absorbing instantaneous high-voltage pulses. It holds the title of the first invention with a TSE certificate (reference number TSE-BDS-0001-1), received the first and only “Bursa’s Inventor” award at BTSO’s “Values Added to Economy” awards, and is used in strategic locations such as the Prime Ministry Dolmabahçe office and ASELSAN. With its 100,000th product installed at the Bursa Governor’s Office, it is a 100% Turkish brand that has completed its branding in 60% of the world.
The cause of the recent power outage event is not yet fully clear. It might be a cyberattack or a technical error. Regardless, cyberattacks are being organized against the control systems of electricity transmission lines in this country and many parts of the world. These attacks can cause various white goods, such as TVs, to become sources of fire at the end-user side.
While Trimbox does not have the capability to prevent an actual cyberattack, it holds strategic value in this context. This means that any high-voltage pulse likely to come from transmission and distribution lines cannot damage a home or business equipped with Trimbox. In short, it prevents the risk of device burnout or fire on the end-user side.
We all remember our elders immediately unplugging the television during a thunderstorm. In light of all this information, instead of pulling plugs or turning off switches during power outages or thunderstorms, you can safely use Trimbox.
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 contact fires.
