The Need for Year-Round Surge Protection
Electrical risks to HVAC systems are not limited to a specific season—especially in tropical or warm-climate regions where weather patterns, humidity, and frequent storms create year-round surge risks.
LA NECESIDAD DE PROTECCIÓN CONTRA SOBRETENSIONES DURANTE TODO EL AÑO
Los riesgos eléctricos para los sistemas HVAC no se limitan a una estación específica, especialmente en regiones tropicales o de clima cálido donde los patrones climáticos, la humedad y las tormentas frecuentes generan riesgos de sobretensión durante todo el año.
Hard Start vs. Soft Start in HVAC
Choosing the right start assist can impact performance, reliability, and equipment life. Learn when to use hard start vs. soft start in HVAC systems.
Power Quality Protection in Modern Data Centers
This paper examines the impact of real-world power disturbances on data center operations, outlines why surge protection and line voltage monitoring should be incorporated into modern specifications, and demonstrates how ICM Controls solutions support resilient and field-proven protection strategies for mission-critical applications.
Compressor Protection in Peak Cooling Season
But extreme outdoor temperature is rarely the entire story behind a failed compressor. The more important question is often: What was happening electrically while the compressor was operating under peak load?
Power Hungry Data Centers & the Electric Grid
Data centers are driving major electrical load growth across the U.S. As utilities expand generation, transmission, and substations to keep up, power-quality protection is becoming even more important for HVAC/R equipment.
