More and more buildings and houses have electronic devices that allow for a more efficient and comfortable home: thermoregulation, sophisticated security systems, all kind of automations, remote controllers, energy management systems, several interconnected devices…There is no doubt in there being a trend for domotised homes which will increase, given how these technologies mean an important improvement in the quality of life.

In residential sector and in small tertiary business, it is recommended to protect correctly the installations against both permanent and transient overvoltages. Usually, in such cases (houses, business, worshops, restaurants, etc), are limited by a lack of space. The most appropriate solution is to use permanent and transient overvoltage protectors in the same device.

The new surge protector ATSHOCK T 25 from Aplicaciones Tecnológicas, with the reference AT-8089, has achieved the qualification as a Type 1 transient overvoltage protection device approved by IBERDROLA, one of the biggest energy companies in Spain, in accordance with the Standard NI 42.71.01.
