SCL WorldNet Inc.

The Company

SCL WorldNet, Inc. (SCL) has been providing power quality solutions to Philippine businesses since 1996. We have grown from providing specific surge protection applications to becoming a total power quality solutions company.  In 2004, SCL management, recognizing the increasing needs for power quality solutions, began adding power quality products to the existing SCL distribution channel.   

SCL has been the Philippine distributor of Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) products manufactured by Innovative Technology Inc since 1997.  During this time, SCL has provided TVSS solutions for over 1,300 companies throughout Asia. 

In 2003, Innovative Technology Inc. was acquired by Eaton Electrical Division, a 7 billion dollar a year company. In 2004, SCL became the Asian Master Distributor of Innovative Technology Inc.

The Problem

The $26 Billion Per Year Problem

Your power distribution system and attached load equipment is under constant attack from various types of power line disturbances. The result is an estimated $26 billion per year cost to U.S. companies in lost time, equipment repair and equipment replacement.

Transient voltage surges comprise the most severe and immediate danger to sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.

Transients are over-voltages or over-currents, typically lasting micro-seconds, that are caused by external and internal events. Lightning, variable speed drives, grid switching and load switching by neighboring facilities can result in transient activity.

Studies have shown that nearly 80% of transient activity at a given facility may be internally-generated. From the normal switching on and off of copiers and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to robotic assembly and welding machines, practically every industrial machine or system causes or is adversely affected by transients. The cumulative effect of these transients causes semi-conductor degradation, equipment destruction, disruption and damage, leading to premature failure, resulting in costly downtime and productivity loss.

All mission-critical electrical and electronic systems should be shielded to prevent disruption, damage and destruction.
