Latin America. On the eve of the celebrations of halloween festivities or Halloween, or Christian commemorations of All Saints' Day or the Dead, Tripp Lite made some product recommendations that help decrease the so-called "vampire" or "ghost" loads so frequent and how to avoid them.
In this sense, Tripp Lite, a leading company in the manufacture of ecological energy protection products, offers the following "tricks" or products that can help consumers combat "phantom" electrical charges that become nightmares when the electric service payment receipt arrives:
SUPPRESSORS:
Tripp Lite has ecological surge suppressors that eliminate phantom loads, which in addition to protecting the devices from surges; its Eco outlets allow electricity savings in those devices that go into stand-by mode or standby mode. Most LCD television sets, home theaters, sound systems, laptops or video game consoles when they go into stand-by mode, which seem to be turned off, continue to consume electricity and this consumption is called "phantom loads".
With Tripp Lite Eco Suppressors, devices connected when the suppressor goes into standby mode automatically cuts off energy consumption, avoiding precisely those "phantom loads".
VOLTAGE REGULATORS:
Another option to avoid falling victim to the terrific costs of paying for power supply are Tripp Lite voltage regulators; ideal for sensitive electronic equipment but do not require battery backup in case of electrical failure. Voltage regulators automatically condition the voltage (up or down) and provide ideal electrical power conditions that allow proper operation, improve performance, increase efficiency and lower the internal temperatures of devices in laptops, printers, audio and video equipment, among others. The correct performance of electronic devices contributes to the reduction of total energy consumption.
UPS:
To have a more complete protection in sensitive electronic or computer equipment, it is important to consider 3 protection characteristics: have suppression, regulation and backup; in this way you can withstand a discharge, correct voltage variations and during a power outage, the equipment goes into battery to give time to correctly close the files or programs in use of the computer, without fear of losing the information.
Tripp Lite's eco-friendly UPS with battery support are also an option to combat energy waste from phantom loads of personal computers and their accessories (printers, scanners and speakers). Eco UPSs, in addition to maintaining AC output during power failures and retaining 99% efficiency in line mode, use the same technology as Eco Suppressors. Its Eco switches cut off the electrical flow when the computer is not in use. By reducing electricity consumption to less than 5 watts, heat emission is also reduced, allowing air conditioning systems to also consume less energy and reduce their workload.
In this sense, to avoid overloads it is important to identify the load capacity of the UPS (No break) and not exceed it, for this, it will only be necessary to make the sum, in Watts, of all the devices that will support and not exceed 80% of its capacity, obtaining greater backup time in case of suffering a blackout.
