Power Pressure ™ innovation
With PowerPressure™ Technology,
During major power surges, the energy travels too quickly to trip the circuit breakers, allowing it to bypass the first line of protection.
Unlike competing products, Armada uses encapsulated MOVs to dissipate heat, giving the main circuit breaker enough time to detect the excess energy and disconnect.
The circuit breaker detects the excess energy and trips.
When the power is interrupted, the backup batteries and generator activate, keeping your systems powered and protected.
How Armada Works
Armada protects against both types of surges: internal and external.
Internal: Up to 20 times greater heat dissipation inside the Armada enclosure safely eliminates small amounts of excess energy, helping maximize the service life of your equipment. Armada remains fully operational following this type of event.
External: During major surge events—such as a surge induced by a nearby lightning strike—Armada dissipates excess heat until it reaches its maximum absorption capacity. This delay gives the main circuit breaker enough time to detect the problem and trip, thereby protecting your electrical system.
If this limit is reached, the varistors disintegrate in a controlled manner. The excess electrical energy is then converted into kinetic energy and safely released through the device’s outlet using PowerPressure™ technology. Your equipment remains protected even in this scenario.
This mechanism is particularly critical for data centers and industrial, institutional, and commercial facilities, where a single poorly managed surge can result in thousands of dollars in data loss or downtime.
Heat dissipation
Hermetic, the Armada’s case eliminates any risk of fire or electric arc, protecting your equipment from the shock of a minor surge. The absorbed energy generates heat, which then dissipates gradually.
Major overvoltage
The Armada unit remains active and connected throughout the heat-dissipation process, giving the main circuit breaker enough time to detect the surge and trip before internal pressure reaches a critical level.
Pressure
If this limit is reached, the varistors disintegrate in a controlled manner. The excess electrical energy is converted into kinetic energy and safely released through the device’s vent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is PowerPressure™ Technology?
PowerPressure™ is Armada’s patented technology that converts excess electrical energy from a major surge into kinetic energy. Once the main circuit breaker has had enough time to trip, this energy is safely released through the device’s vent.
Why Doesn’t Armada Use a Fuse?
By eliminating fuses and soldered connections, Armada prevents the cumulative thermal stress that causes traditional surge protectors to wear out prematurely—allowing us to offer a 25-year warranty. Your electrical panel’s main circuit breaker acts as the disconnect mechanism.
What Happens if Armada Reaches Its Maximum Absorption Capacity?
During an extreme surge, the varistors disintegrate in a controlled manner inside the hermetically sealed enclosure. The excess electrical energy is then converted into kinetic energy and safely released while the main circuit breaker disconnects the circuit.
