OUR HISTORY
Advanced Protection Technologies has evolved into an
SPD industry leader since our inception in 1985. We’ve
grown from a regional operation into a global manufacturer. Our
world headquarters is located in the heart of lightning country,
Clearwater, Florida. APT’s customer service and support have
earned the respect of our clients and partners, and accolades
from leading industry market research companies. Frost &
Sullivan has honored us three years with awards for superior
service and has ranked APT #1 in the three-phase SPD market.
Our commitment to service and excellence comes from our
people and sophisticated system integration.
OUR CAPABILITY
APT’s manufacturing capabilities include strong inhouse manual assembly, test, warehousing, and delivery
competencies. In addition, high volume and automated
assembly is accomplished by partnerships with several key
ISO9000 certified state-of-the-art contract manufacturers.
All production is controlled through an integrated system of
custom developed ISO9001:2008 software and Best Software’s
MAS200 manufacturing, inventory and accounting system.
Production controls follow ISO standards and are implemented
with work orders, travelers, manufacturing and process
instructions, training, and a corrective and preventive action
program to ensure highest quality and continuous improvement.

OUR COMMITMENT
“Professionals Serving Professionals.” Our service
is supported by strategic investments in people, product
technologies, and information management tools to serve
our clients with a long term commitment through actions, not
words alone. We use information systems and technologies to
keep our clients informed. We deliver quality solutions while
pursuing our long term commitment, in place of short term
gains. We value the client relationship and support it with
integrity, responsiveness and technical excellence. We are…
“Professionals Serving Professionals.”
OUR QUALITY
Impressive Results. A central part of our quality management
revolves around the Product Development Process (PDP)
and Product Change Process (PCP). This ensures that the
customer, regulatory and internal requirements are integrated
into the product realization process. By further integration
into the management review process, we have established
customer satisfaction and systematic continuous improvement.
To support testing and measurement requirements of the PDP,
and throughout the product realization process, APT utilizes
internal and external test facilities. This ensures attainment
of regulatory requirements through various programs with
appropriate regulatory agencies. Our internal test facility
includes state-of-the-art data acquisition and instrumentation
certified with traceability to the US National Institute of
Standards and Technology.

CABINET POWER ENTRY / INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT POWER PROTECTION
WHAT ARE SURGES AND WHERE DO THEY
COME FROM?
• An extremely brief overvoltage in the power
distribution system
• Causes of Surges:
-
Lightning
- Utility Capacitor Bank and Sub-Station Switching
- Load Switching (e.g. Traffic Signal Cycling)
XDS Series
Series
Type 1 Surge Protective Device/SPD/TVSS
Type 1 Surge Protective Device/SPD/TVSS
The SPDEE Series utilizes large block 50kA Thermally Protected
MOVs with surge current levels of 50kA per mode. The unit is
a perfect replacement for the obsolete surge arrestors. With a
small, compact design and line or load side installation flexibility,
this unit can be installed anywhere in any electrical distribution
system. SPDEE comes available in voltage specific one, two and
three pole applications. This unit can also be DIN Rail mounted.
The XDS Series utilizes large block 50kA Thermally
Protected MOVs with surge current levels of 100kA, 150kA
and 200kA per phase, providing additional redundancy
options. With line or load side installation flexibility, this unit
is a great fit for power entry in larger cabinet and facility
applications. XDS comes available in voltage specific one,
two and three pole applications. This unit also incorporates
EMI/RFI Filtering.
Surge
XCS Series
WHAT DAMAGE CAN POWER SURGES CAUSE?
• PHYSICAL DAMAGE: Fire and explosions
• DISRUPTION: Equipment malfunction, signal glitches
and computing errors
Type 1 Surge Protective Device/SPD/TVSS
Type 2 Surge Protective Device/SPD/TVSS
The XCS Series utilizes large block 50kA Thermally Protected
MOVs with surge current levels of 100kA per phase. With a
compact economical design, and line or load side installation
flexibility, this unit can be installed anywhere in any electrical
distribution system. XCS comes available in voltage specific
one, two and three pole applications.
The AC Power DIN Rail Series utilizes large block 50kA
Thermally Protected MOVs with surge current levels of 50kA
per mode. These devices are designed to mount onto DIN Rail.
The small compact design and DIN Rail mounting capabilities
make it ideal for point of use protection. The AC Power DIN
Rail comes available in voltage specific one, two and three pole
applications.

Din Rail Series
SPDEE
DC Voltage Surge Protective Device
Series
Type 1 Surge Protective Device/SPD/TVSS
The DC SPDEE Series utilizes large block 50kA Thermally
Protected MOVs with surge current levels of 50kA per mode.
This is the industry’s first and only UL 1449 and UL 1741
Listed SPD. With a small, compact design, and line or load
side installation flexibility, this unit can be installed anywhere
in a DC electrical distribution system. DC SPDEE eliminates
the need for additional upstream fusing for SPD safety
protection. This unit can also be DIN Rail mounted.
Low Voltage
Data Series
Low Voltage Data Surge Protective
Device/SPD/TVSS
The Low Voltage Data Series utilizes a 3-Stage series connection
to protect a wide range of low voltage applications. The devices
are designed to mount onto DIN Rail. The Data Series SPDs have
the ability to protect standard low frequency data up to 600 kHz as
well as digital or high frequency data up to 35 MHz for protocols
such as RS-232, RS-423, RS-422, RS-485 and Modbus.
