A typical day ...

You're listening to your hi-fi stereo, while calling the travel agent, who links to a Wide Area Network (WAN) through HUBs, servers and routers, confirming your travel plans. You drive down the tollway and stop at the toll booth, which electronically determines if you've paid the correct toll while security cameras record your license plate and payment. You arrive at the airport and stop at the ATM to get a little more cash then walk through the metal detector which is electronically linked to security monitoring systems. The gate check-in clerk takes your ticket and confirms your seat through a local and wide area network (LAN/WAN). You board your flight and all goes well because air traffic control is monitoring all flights and your flight crew can access air traffic movement. You arrive at your destination on time and while travelling to your meeting, you stop at the light which has turned red based on its programmed memory for the time of day and traffic flow. On the way, you receive a call on your cell phone that your business partner was in a motor vehicle accident and was transported, via an electronically dispatched ambulance, to the hospital. The E.R. technicians have performed blood tests, an MRI scan and connected him to a heart monitor. You stop at the store to pick up a card for him, where the clerk scans in the item, while the price and description is instantaneously looked up via the LAN and the item is deducted from inventory. You hand the clerk your credit card, who proceeds to put it through the credit authorization terminal which is linked to a WAN, and the purchase is approved, charges and debited from your account. You arrive at the hospital to visit your partner. The tests show a slight concussion so they send him on his way to rest. You both are able to make your 4:00 p.m. satellite linked, business meeting (contrary to the doctor's orders) with companies in Chicago and New York.

If the systems in this scenario had been subjected to any type of power or ground disturbances, there are over 20 direct instances where the events could have been delayed or dramatically altered, and over a MILLION if the computer chips used in every linked system were stressed by electrical contamination during production or while in use, or if the data became scrambled. All electronics require clean power and a stable ground reference to operate properly and reliably, 100% of the time. Unfortunately, electronic systems are connected to an electrical distribution system; line, neutral and ground, that was designed a long time ago for light bulbs, not computers. In addition, as we connect more electronics to the electrical distribution system, we add more noise to their environment, thereby increasing the probability of problems. To make matters worse, as computer chips become more sophisticated, they also become more sensitive to power and ground contamination.

Everyone around the world now relies on computer driven systems. PS&A has the only power and ground conditioners which effectively provide clean power and a stable, zero reference ground 100% of the time for any modern electronic system. The need for this type of system has become increasingly apparent, as more and more companies realize that downtime, lost productivity, system repairs, data errors and "no trouble found" service calls are costing them billions of dollars a year, not to mention the frustration customers face on a day to day basis. Check out our test results to see what may be lurking in your power system.
