HVAC Tech in a high end resort town that is known for having dirty power. I can't count the number of failed equipment due to voltage instability on the modern VRF and inverter driven units that are coming out these days. Often times a voltage spike will result in needing to replace an entire PCB because you can't really track down the failed component and replace it in the field.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s frustrating to see how transient overvoltage can cause such expensive and time-consuming issues, especially with modern units that rely on sensitive electronics. Dirty power and transient overvoltage are a growing problem, and unfortunately, they often result in costly PCB replacements, as you pointed out. To add to this, some HVAC contractors have also mentioned increasing challenges with warranty claims, as many HVAC manufacturers exclude damage caused by power quality issues from their coverage. Transient Overvoltage Mitigation designed for these scenarios can significantly reduce the impact of transient overvoltages and improve equipment reliability. We specialize in protecting critical systems like the ones you work with and even offer a program tailored for HVAC contractors facing this challenge. If you’d like to learn more about solutions that could prevent these failures and save time in the field, feel free to reach out or explore our resources. We’d like to help!
