Zero Crossing Detection
Electricity flows in a series of peaks & troughs and it can be likened to waves during storms at sea.
If you hit the on button when the wave is at its peak these extremes create stress on the components within your equipment. These stresses can cause items to fail, relays cannot always deal with the increased voltage. If you have ever switched on a light bulb and its blown instantly it was probably down to switching on when the flow of electricity was at its peak, too much for a bulb to handle.
Our Intelligent range switches power on at the optimum point - when the sea is calm thus extending the life of the peripherals for Computer - TV - Audio & Video.
The Intelligent Range is engineered to operate for up to 1 million cycles.
