WELCOME TO SOLLATEK IN EAST AFRICALeading power control & solar specialists

Started in 1985 Sollatek has developed a range of Voltage Switchers, Stabilisers & UPS's to protect your fridge, TV, air-conditioner, computer & other electrical appliances against fluctuating mains power & power surges.

In the rural areas of East Africa, where no mains power is available, Sollatek has been a pioneer in developing reliable low cost Solar Home Systems (SHS), which are used to power DC Lights, DC TVs & Radios. Today Sollatek has developed larger solar systems to power Colour TV's, fridges & water pumps.

SOLLATEK AVS30 (Automatic Voltage Switcher 30 Amps)

Low power (under-voltage) will damage any refrigeration appliance's compressor and High Power (Over voltage) will damage any electrical or electronic equipment. The AVS30 is the most complete power protection device combining over-voltage, under-voltage, power-back surges and spikes/surge protection. Additionally, there is a delay when power returns to normal. This will ensure that the appliance is not switched on-off repeatedly during fluctuations nor it is subjected to a massive surge normally experienced when power returns after power cuts.

VOLTSAFE RANGE - OVERVIEW

Suppressors are devices that protect against surges, spikes, lightning and in some cases RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and Noise.

Surge/Spike is a rise or peak in voltage up to thousands of volts and last for very short period of time (milliseconds). These powerful events can eventually blow out microscopic holes in electronic circuitry causing severe damage or failure. Unlike over-voltage which last for longer times (milliseconds to seconds to minutes or even hours), you do not need to switch off the mains to protect against surges and spikes. Clamping to a safe level is the method of protection. The level of protection is best measured in joules and there is no complete protection here but the more joules of protection available the less possibility of damage.

A standard surge protector can absorb about 140Joules. Other factors are important, as in the speed of response, availability of earthing, etc. RFI and noise is generated by nearby equipment such as elevators, motors, radio controlled equipment, etc. Whilst surges/spike protection is incorporated in almost all of the Sollatek range of products, Sollatek in addition manufactures his range (Suppressor Range) solely for protection against these events.
