Description
Tempest SA3600A Commercial Power Conditioner Component
- Patented technology, all-wire protection
- Invented, patented, engineered, and manufactured in the USA
Bantam Clean Power offers its patented, industry-leading surge suppression, power conditioning, and PLE-blocking technology as a component: the Tempest SA3600A. It is the same conditioning and PLE-mitigation building block embedded across the Bantam product line, available for integration into your own enclosure, UPS, or equipment design.
Application Notes
An all-wire power conditioner component capable of blocking normal and common mode transients and surge energy as part of a complete electrical enclosure or UPS. The Tempest SA3600A is a wave-shaping and ground-filtering device effective at suppressing harmful electrical signal emissions.

Performance
Surge Energy Suppression
More than 99% of all surge energy is blocked from operating loads during an event. UL 1449 adjunct testing confirms full surge protection with no degradation of the device or protected equipment after a continuous 24-hour surge test, using the same 6000V / 3000A combination wave (1.2/50 µs voltage, 8/20 µs current) applied approximately every 45 seconds to match the surge generator’s recovery and recharge interval.
Reflected Signal Suppression
The common mode has a broad resonance at 1 MHz providing approximately 18 dB of insertion loss, with no attenuating effects observed below 10 kHz. The differential mode has a broad resonance at 1 MHz with continued RF attenuation averaging approximately 25 dB to 30 MHz.
MIL-STD-461 CS114 Test Results (conducted by NTS Labs, 2018)
Significant suppression characteristics across the 1 MHz to 20 MHz spectrum, the range widely understood to contain the majority of problematic EMI noise sources across nearly every industry platform.
Harmonics Filtration
Current harmonic suppression varies with load impedance (current draw). In all cases, no suppression of the 60 Hz fundamental current was observed, as expected. Current harmonic suppression is greatest above 1 kHz through 6 kHz.
