ASCO ASM (Active Surge Monitor) Surge Protection that Monitors, Measures and Manages
Our Web-Enabled Approach to Monitoring Your Facility s Power Quality ASCO makes it easy to manage your electrical system by integrating its web-based Active Surge Monitor within its 500 and 400 SERIES surge protection products. This integration enables real-time power quality measurements, logged events, statistical summaries and premium power protection. Understanding the severity, type and timing of the event allows you to analyze trends and ultimately better manage your electrical system.

Surge Protective Device (SPD) Health LEDS, alarms, relay contacts and surge counters offer little insight into the overall health or life expectancy of your SPD. ASCO s ASM technology is set apart from traditional status indication by allowing facility managers to proactively replace an SPD prior to end-of-life, upgrade to larger capacity units or proactively replace installed SPDs prior to heavy lightning activity. The ASCO Active Surge Monitor also indicates when an active event is happening, assuring the SPD is still functioning and operational. 1 L1 L2 L3 N SERVICE 2 3 1 Line and Neutral LEDs Green = Normal Operation Orange = Reduced Protection Red (steady) = Protection Failure Red (flashing) = Active Event N MOV Health L1-N MOV s PASS L2-N MOV s PASS L3-N MOV s PASS N-G MOV s PASS Prev Page NextPage 2 Service LED Green = Normal Operation Red = Protection Failure Orange = Active Event 3 Web Interface Pass = SPD components are functional and system is fully protected.

Sampling Rate Sampling rate is defined as the number of times an analog signal is measured or sampled in one second. Power monitors sample the electrical sine wave to detect variations in the voltage or current that may indicate the presence of power quality events or conditions. How Fast Should the Sampling Rate Be? With one electrical cycle equaling 1/60 of a second (.016s) and damaging events like transients being a few millionths of a second, you can understand why faster sampling rates are desired. ASCO s ASM (Active Surge Monitor) samples every four microseconds, which equates to 4,166 times every cycle or 250,000 times every second. This rate allows the monitor to capture ALL anomalies from voltage harmonics to fast transients. The ASCO ASM (Active Surge Monitor) Samples at: (Waveform Cycle = 1/60 of a Second) 4,166X/cycle 250,000X/second The speed or rate at which a power quality device samples is extremely important, if the sampling rate is too slow, power quality events may go undetected.
