PC-8000DC
PC-DC power conditioner combines 4 functions in one device: power noise filtering; DC component blocking; linear power supply for USB ports; and surge and overload protection (for all powered outputs and USB ports).
POWER NOISE FILTERING
The electricity network in our homes or workplaces is exposed to different interferences for instance electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by appliances connected to the same network (refrigerators, air conditioners, computers etc.).
These interferences are not only produced inside your house or office but by all appliances in your building or even outside it and can differ on the time of day or week when the traffic on the electrical network changes.
All these interferences which we call noises can get into your AC power and interfere with your system.
This “dirty” electricity can have a negative effect on performance of your audio-video system.
TAGA Harmony power line conditioner is a great way to limit the negative noises from your electricity and to isolate your system from the contaminated power.
The contaminated electricity has also a negative impact on internal circuits and power supplies of your equipment and because the PC-DC conditioner works as a buffer between the wall socket and your gear helping to increase the longevity of the connected components.
- Independent groups of switched and unswitched 230V – 240V power sockets (Schuko type) adopting 4 independent non-interference filters, each specifically designed for the given group and for use with specific audio and video equipment.
- Separate SQ common mode inductor used for each sockets groups.
– High purity oxygen-free copper flat enameled wire winding.
– Low DC resistance, uniformly dispersed electric field and extremely small distributed capacitance, for improved high frequency EMI filtering.
– Good heat dissipation for higher efficiency.
– Large current passing, density is more than 1.3 times of round copper wire allowing for better filtering while utilizing similar size.
– Additional benefits for improved filtering: closed magnetic circuit, small magnetic leakage, good conduction and radiation effect, stable consistency and improved high frequency skin effect. - High-quality Class-X capacitors for improved filtering.
- High power 200W toroidal transformer to isolate equipment from the line noise (for source devices).
– Aluminum metal film shielding cover effectively protects the transformer from the electromagnetic interference, improving its efficiency and performance.
– 18AWG Oxygen Free Copper wiring: primary AWM 1672 and secondary AWM 1007 providing best conductivity. - Oxygen Free Copper wiring (AWM 1015 16AWG) connecting the main board with the outputs.
DC BLOCKER
Built-in DC blocker removes or at least lowers the unwanted DC component of the supply voltage in the selected output power sockets, responsible for noises (buzzing) and higher operational temperature of transformers, which deteriorate the sound quality.
In the result, the connected audio-video devices work more quietly and efficiently as well as mains hum in speakers is significantly being reduced.
- Real-time switched DC Blocker for selected 230V – 240V power sockets groups. You can switch the DC Blocker ON and OFF on the fly for the best sound experience.
- Powerful blocking of the incoming DC up to 12000mV (12V).
- 10 x high-current, high-frequency bridges and 2 x 47000uF capacitors -extremely efficient DC blocking and at the same time avoiding negative impact on sound performance.
LINEAR POWER SUPPLY FOR USB OUTPUTS
Most DC-powered electronic devices use simple, low-cost external power adapters with switch-mode power supplies.
Such adapters operate at high switching frequencies to supply power, which may cause various electrical noises getting to the connected devices, and even inject these noises into your electricity network affecting other equipment.
Such noises dramatically deteriorate the sound performance and efficiency of audio-video devices.
The solution is to use a high-quality linear power supply, such as the one in the PC-DC conditioners.
The PC-DC linear power supply offers a very significant and immediate upgrade to the sound performance of your DC-powered devices.
- The built-in isolating toroidal power transformer for sources is also used to provide stable power supply to the USB ports.
- 3-tier filtering network:
I & II tier for 230 – 240 Voltage : the initial filtering by the device’s power noise filtering system, and the second by the built-in isolating power transformer.
III tier for the DC Voltage : specially-design filtering (incl. high frequency EMI filtering for 5V output) at the end stage separately for the USB ports.
OXYGEN FREE COPPER INTERNAL WIRING
All internal wires are made of oxygen free copper:
AWM 1015 14AWG for the power inlet.
AWM 1015 16AWG for the 230V-240V outputs sockets and the Power switch.
AWM 1015 20AWG for the USB ports.
AWM 1015 14AWG for Phase and Reset switches.
AWM 1672 22AWG for Analog and Digital indicators.
SURGE AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The PF-LPS filter provides surge and overload protection for all outputs.
I tier protection : the filtering and protection system with a push-to-reset circuit breaker.
II tier, 3-level additional protection for the DC output and USB ports :
the system using the built-in isolating power transformer -> step-down switching regulator -> short-circuit and thermal overload circuit specially designed for the DC output and USB ports.
The voltage indicator helps to control whether the power voltage in the wall socket is stable.
An IEC C14 power inlet and a removable Schuko-IEC C13 power cord give an option to upgrade to a premium audiophile power cable at any time.
Thanks to the PF-LPS power filters you will be able to enjoy a better quality of your audio and video equipment.
OTHER FEATURES
Analog Voltage indicator to control stability of the power voltage in the wall outlet.
Digital Voltage (V) / Current (in mA or A) / Power (W) indicator to show data in real time, and which can be turned off.
Phase detection and the polarity selector switch indicates the incorrect power phase and allows to easily correct it.
