Maximize Your ROI With Total Protection Solutions™

Cost justification of a capital investment consists of two critical components—the payback/breakeven analysis and the lifecycle savings analysis. Careful consideration of these two components of return on investment (ROI) analysis is essential for good decision-making on any capital equipment investment. This is especially true in the case of a surge suppression system, because its one and only function is to maximize savings by eliminating transients and surges throughout all electrical distribution systems and equipment operations. Both payback/breakeven and lifecycle savings analysis prove the long-term cost savings of investing in quality and performance over the first cost/low bid alternative.

PAYBACK/BREAKEVEN

A payback or breakeven analysis evaluates how much time (usually expressed in years) it takes to recover the total cost of the initial investment (equipment and installation). Most companies want to see a payback within 5 years for equipment with over a 10-year lifespan. Total Protection Solutions™ equipment, with its standard 30-year free replacement warranty, far exceeds the usual long-life expectations.

LIFECYCLE SAVINGS

Lifecycle savings is the often overlooked analysis of a capital equipment investment relative to the cumulative savings over the useful life of the investment. Lifecycle analysis is critical to reaching a true understanding of the potential savings on long life projects (typically 20-30 years). The TPS standard 30-year free replacement warranty assures maximum lifecycle ROI.

FIRST COST/LOW BID

Companies purchasing TVSS equipment solely on the basis of a low bid/bid spec procurement process will overlook an opportunity to realize significant long-term savings. Today, many specs require TVSS to be integrated into switchgear and subpanels. The resulting lower cost product lines may protect against external surges while doing little or nothing to protect against the daily damage caused by internally generated transients. Over 80% of transients and surges are internally generated. Sacrificing quality and performance for first cost/low-bid will result in significant long-term expense.

The following are examples of an ROI comparison performed for a manufacturing facility for a Total Protection System, using the following criteria:

Example # 1 Total Protection Solutions™ TVSS investment = $100,000 Estimated installation cost = $12,000 Estimated maintenance repair cost = $100,000/year Estimated downtime = 2 X repair cost = $200,000/year Example #1 TPS TVSS % savings = 10% Total Protection Solutions™ life cycle = 30 years

Example # 2 Total Protection Solutions™ TVSS investment = $100,000 Estimated installation cost = $12,000 Estimated maintenance repair cost = $100,000/year Estimated downtime = 2 X repair cost = $200,000/ Example #2 TPS TVSS % savings = 30% Total Protection Solutions™ life cycle = 30 years

BOTTOM LINE:
TOTAL PROTECTION SOLUTIONS™ WILL DRAMATICALLY MAXIMIZE YOUR ROI.

TPS OFFERS SIGNIFICANT LONG-TERM SAVINGS An investment in Total Protection Solutions™ products is an investment in cost savings and increased productivity for the life of your facility. A Total Protection System… REDUCES ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE AND EQUIPMENT REPAIR COSTS TPS surge suppression protects your equipment and facility from costly repairs due to electrical problems. If unprotected, sensitive electronic devices are subject to damage from transient events, and over time, these small spikes erode electronic circuit connections, making them unstable and subject to failure.

REDUCES DOWNTIME Electrical disturbances cost North American companies more than $26 billion each year. For large businesses, even a few minutes in operational disruption can cost millions of dollars in lost information and revenue. Reducing downtime is the most important priority in operating any facility. The cost of downtime is almost always many times (10+) the cost associated with electrical maintenance and equipment repair. A TPS Total Protection System will ensure a dramatic reduction in downtime.

INCREASES RELIABILITY TPS products suppress and neutralize potentially damaging spikes or surges. High frequency noise is filtered and reduced to harmless levels, preventing degrading, damaging transients from disrupting the processes you depend on every day. INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY When your equipment is working, downtime is minimized, your staff is productive, and your company is reaping huge benefits. In facilities where productivity is routinely measured, significant increases can be expected.
