SATIC Technology
SATIC’s proprietary PowerPerfect™ product line is the ultimate mitigation solution and is the result of constant and never-ending improvement. Our products are in their third generation and are available as either wire-in or plug-in models.
Electrical Terminology:
1. Voltage: voltage is the measure of the "electrical pressure" or how hard electricity is being pushed through an electrical circuit. SATIC stabilizes and helps maintain consistent alternating current voltage at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
2. Amperage: amperage is a measure of how much current or how many electrons are flowing through an electrical circuit and is therefore and flow rate of electrical energy (electricity) measured in amperes or "amps." SATIC increases average power, whole improved power factor lowers amps and increases efficiency.
3. Watts: Watts are the measure of real working power.
4. Kilowatt Hour: kilowatt hours are the measure of real working power used over time are the standard of measure utilities use to bill for electricity.
5. Power Factor: power factor is simply the radio of real working power (watts) to total apparent power (volt-amps) VA. PF=W/VA
6. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): THD is how far the real-time waveform is from ideal (50 Hz or 60 Hz) and how many undesired frequencies are on the wave.
7. Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs): electric and magnetic fields are radiant energy produced by electricity, which is the movement of electrons, or current, through a wire and is measured in units of volts per meter (V/m), microteslas (mT), milligauss (mG), or watts per square meter (W/m2).
The electric field is produced by voltage. As the voltage increases, the electric field increases in strength. Electric fields are measured in volts per meter (V/m).
The magnetic field results from the flow of current through wires or electrical devices and increases in strength as the current increases. The strength of a magnetic field decreases rapidly with increasing distance from its source. Magnetic fields are measured in microteslas (mT, or millionths of a tesla).
Electric fields are produced whether or not a device is turned on, but voltage is present, whereas magnetic fields are produced only when current is flowing, which usually requires that a device be turned on.
Power lines produce magnetic fields continuously because current is always flowing through them. Electric fields are easily shielded or weakened by walls and other objects, whereas magnetic fields can pass through buildings, living things, and most other materials.
Electric and magnetic fields together are referred to as electromagnetic fields, or EMFs. The electric and magnetic forces in EMFs are caused by electromagnetic radiation.
SATIC filters consistently lower EMFs and their subsequent radiation.
8. Interference: any unwanted signal that’s combined with the desired signal is called interference and can come from external systems as well as from within a circuit itself. External sources include a number of sources such as power lines, RF transmitters, nearby conductors, ignition systems, or motors that turn on and off drawing sudden large currents. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the noise caused by current in other, nearby conductors or cables. Radio frequency interference (RFI) is also a source of external noise caused by radiating signals from wireless systems. SATIC filters consistently lower interference and their negative effects on electronics.
9. Ohm's Law of Resistance: Ohms Law of Resistance is a measure of how much of the electrical energy being converted to heat, sound, light or mechanical work as electrical travels through the circuit.
10. Hertz (Hz): frequency is how often an event repeats itself. How many waves hit the beach in one minute is their frequency. For North America, the frequency of the alternating current on the grid is sixty hertz, or sixty cycles per second, whereas in most of Europe runs at 50 Hz.
