Problem: Effects of Electric Current Arcing
Electric current arcing in electromechanical relays (and contactors) is the primary factor in their early end-of-life ... which directly and negatively impacts the life of your products and/or production systems through increased maintenance costs, unplanned downtime, loss of revenue, and more frequent product failures!

To date, this issue has been addressed with methods such as:

• High power relays/contactors and/or contacts made of more durable, exotic metals (such as Tungsten)
• Solid State Relays (SSR)*
• Hybrid power relays
• Snubbers

Unfortunately, only one* of these methods actually addresses the cause of the problem in the first place ... the contact current arc!  The others merely increase the cost, footprint and/or weight of the solution.

*SSRs do not "suppress" an arc per se, because their solid state design eliminates the arc altogether. While this is perfect for situations in which one cannot have an arc (for safety reasons), SSRs generate significant heat which limits their performance and broad application.

Solution: NOsparc^TM Technology
To solve the problems caused by electrical arcing of contacts, Arc Suppression Technologies has developed the first true arc suppression technology that we call: NOsparc! The proprietary design of our NOsparc technology instantaneously recognizes the change in the contact state and automatically suppresses the nascent arc, resulting in a reduction of arc energy by 100 or more times! This yields an equal 100 or more times increase in the lifespan of the relay or contactor, allowing it to near its mechanical life-expectancy … translating to increased uptime, productivity, product life, and profitability!

NOsparc^TM technology far exceeds the current solutions to this issue, as confirmed by a detailed review of over 200 patents. In fact, no one else even comes close!
