Company Summary

NOsparc® is a new and patented product that solves a 150-year-old problem that both Edison and Tesla failed to solve. Our big idea is a novel patent-protected solution for the #1 cause of relay failure: contact arcing. By virtually eliminating contact arcing, we allow relays to last 10X longer, allowing users of the equipment operated by protected relays to realize enormous reductions in costs associated with maintenance and unplanned downtime.
