How Zero Surge power quality filters work vs surge protectors

  1. Strong, fast surge current comes from wall receptacle into Zero Surge unit.
  2. The inductor inside our unit acts as a grid, slowing down and decreasing the surge current.
  3. The smaller, slower surge is then sent to a capacitor which acts as a garbage can.
  4. When first capacitor (3) is filled with surge current, any residual current is directed to 2 additional capacitors (garbage cans). This restricts the duration of the surge.
  5. The current is then slowly released to the neutral wire, avoiding any ground wire contamination.
