Why Surge Protection Matters
In today’s industrial and commercial environments, electrical disturbances and transient voltage events can disrupt sensitive equipment, shorten asset lifespans, and cause costly downtime. Staro Process Control, in partnership with SineTamer, offers advanced surge protection devices (SPDs) that ensure reliable power quality and system stability. Among the most effective solutions are the LA-ST Family and RM-ST Series units – robust, versatile, and designed for critical load applications.
LA & RM Units – Advanced Protection Technology
The SineTamer LA and RM units (3-phase) are built for frequency attenuation and are internally current and thermally fused for added safety. Manufactured with a UL94V-rated housing, these devices deliver high performance under demanding conditions.
-
LA-ST Family
-
True 10-mode device
-
Available in multiple configurations
-
Suitable for cost-sensitive yet mission-critical applications
-
-
RM-ST Series
-
Reliable 7-mode unit
-
Optimized for essential load applications
-
Provides peak surge current options for tailored protection
-
Where They Work Best
Both the LA-ST and RM-ST units are designed for deployment in multiple settings where power reliability is essential:
-
Service Entrances – Protecting entire facilities from externally generated high-energy impulses.
-
Branch Panels – Safeguarding critical sections of electrical distribution.
-
Control Panels – Ensuring sensitive automation equipment operates without interruptions.
-
Individual Equipment Disconnects – Providing localized protection for critical machinery and devices.
These SPDs are effective at mitigating both externally generated surges (such as lightning or grid fluctuations) and internally generated transient events (such as switching surges within the facility).
Protection Styles – LA-ST vs RM-ST
The flexibility of the LA and RM families allows them to adapt to different power supply configurations:
LA-ST Protection Styles
-
10-Mode Device – 3-Phase WYE supply
-
6-Mode Device – 3-Phase DELTA supply
-
5-Mode Device – Split Phase (2L+N+G)
-
3-Mode Device – Single Phase (1L-N-G)
RM-ST Protection Styles
-
7-Mode Device – 3-Phase WYE supply
-
6-Mode Device – 3-Phase DELTA supply
This adaptability makes them highly versatile for various industries, from manufacturing to utilities and commercial infrastructure.
