Surge Protection

Cascaded surge protection at the service entrance and at the critical panels downstream.

Surge damage is usually diagnosed as something else. The equipment that fails is rarely the equipment the transient entered through, and the failure often shows up weeks later as an unexplained fault. Access specifies surge protection in cascade — at the service entrance, and again at the panels feeding the loads that matter.

What we supply

  • High risk service entrance protection
  • Cascaded and critical panel protection
  • Signal and data line transient protection
  • Surge disconnect switches

Who we represent for surge protection

The outcome

Specified correctly, supported for its lifecycle.

Protection at one point moves the problem rather than solving it. Cascaded correctly, the service entrance device takes the energy and the downstream devices clamp what is left — which is what keeps a lightning event from turning into a month of intermittent faults.

How we support it

Power Systems

Resilient power from the service entrance to the load — sized, conditioned, and backed up so critical loads remain protected through power disturbances and outages.

  • Generators & automatic transfer switches (ATS)
  • UPS systems & power conditioning
  • PDUs, modular busway & distribution
  • Surge protection & DC power plants

Uninterruptible Power Supplies

UPS systems from single-rack to multi-megawatt — sized, installed and maintained so the load never sees the blip.

  • Fixed capacity single phase
  • Centralized, modular single phase
  • Data center and facility 3-phase
  • Battery and flywheel energy storage

Generators & Transfer Switches

Standby generation and the transfer equipment that decides whether the facility rides through an outage.

  • Diesel standby generators
  • Natural gas and bi-fuel generators
  • Automatic transfer switches
  • Static and static bus transfer switches

Busway & Powerbars

Overhead and modular busway that lets a data hall change shape without an electrician rebuilding the branch circuits.

  • Busbar and BusPlug
  • Modular busway
  • Overhead powerbars
  • High-power bar
