We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Overvoltage",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Micro drive cuts costs on the panel from
System Control Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "AC micro drive is designed to cover low power voltage/frequency applications using the latest 'contactor' style wiring format, allowing side by side panel installation".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Isolated I/O module serves as counter/timer from
Acromag: "Space-saving 1in-wide modules provide an isolated Ethernet Modbus TCI/IP interface for any input/output mix of up to 16 discrete signals".
In November 2007, we covered the news from System Control Solutions
concerning its Delta VFD-E micro drives
- take a look at Micro drives can run without external control
which says: "Low-horsepower constant-torque micro drives are IP20 rated, modular in design and have flexible extension option cards and built in PLC functions".
Take a look also at the news release from ABB Power Technologies, Surge arresters protect power lines,
as well as Power supplies fit in tight spaces from Idec Electronics,
and Slimline supplies save space on the DIN rail from Digital Instrumentation.
