Here is a sample of some of the many possible applications for the Ground Transient Terminator.  9 Corporation can also custom design the GTT so that is can be used in almost any OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or aftermarket application.  If you would like help understanding exactly how the GTT can fit your needs, our applications engineers are available to assist you.

Extended Stay America Hotel Chain was plagued by false fire alarms. Power surges and lightning strikes in their area caused intense ground transient activity, degrading the components in their alarm panels to the extent of causing them to malfunction, or fail altogether. Not only was this costing Extended Stay money in fines and repair services, but it was inconveniencing their guests, and compromising their personal safety. Imagine what would happen if a fire occurred and a transient-damaged fire alarm system failed to operate. Extended Stay America did, and In September of 2002, began retrofitting the Ground Transient Terminator into the alarm control panels of every one of their hotels nationwide. Now this easy, reliable, and affordable solution is helping Extended Stay to guarantee safe, secure, and peaceful accommodations for their guests, and saving them money at the same time!


DTV USA DTV USA, a digital television broadcasting company in Connecticut, was concerned about the disruptions in service they experienced every time a heavy storm passed through their area. Transient activity is believed to account for 92% of all electrically-related downtime. Once DTV realized that their problems were due mostly to ground transients, they installed the Ground Transient Terminator at their ISP’s and broadcasting stations. Shortly after doing so, they were hit by 2 heavy storms, but their systems never missed a beat. John Dillon, CEO of DTV USA says their Transient Terminators are “worth their weight in gold”. Transient Terminator Technology improved their uptime, and the bottom line.


Lowell is a precision manufacturing company that employs advanced technology to engineer and manufacture the finest electronic equipment racks and distributed audio products available. Lowell audio/visual systems are used in stadiums, arenas, airports, offices, schools, and buildings of all kinds. The quality of electricity running to this equipment directly affects their performance. Transient voltages from surges and spikes compromise the power quality in buildings. Recognizing this fact, Lowell turned to Transient Terminator Technology for the solution. Soon, Lowell will be incorporating a custom-made version of the Ground Transient Terminator directly into their OEM designs, helping them to produce the highest quality audio/visual systems available, and lending them a significant edge over their competitors’ products!


Amemco A maintenance reliability engineering company, Amemco specializes in lightning and power surge protection. Exxon-Mobile came to them with a problem they were having with one of their offshore oil-drilling platforms. These concrete and metal platforms, surrounded by miles of water, are a prime target for lightning. They already had surge suppression devices in place on the live and neutral lines of their power panels, but they had no ground line protection. As a result, transient voltages caused by these lightning strikes frequently damaged their industrial controls and crashed their electronic systems. Amemco installed the Ground Transient Terminator in the platform’s power panels. 2 years later, Exxon-Mobile reports that “all the equipment that previously has been affected by lightning… is still operational and showing no signs of damage”. Transient Terminator Technology proved to be the missing piece to their power quality puzzle.
