From our previous audio post production facilities - absolutely vital to add a layer of equipment protection from AC line surges and noise
Lightning activity in particular can result in severe damage or destruction of electronic equipment via AC line borne voltage spikes/surges.
These devices are also designed to filter supply line entry of "noise" which can be caused by a multitude of sources such as heavy start up loads (motors are a common one) and reek havoc with sensitive digital equipment in particular.
Such a small amount to spend to provide some protection against surge or EMF noise issues affecting or destroying expensive equipment. This accessory will NOT solve all your protection issues but it is a good starting point.
Nothing worse than turning on your equipment after a typical Spring/Summer thunderstorm and finding that nothing works any more!
Designed for use within Australian & New Zealand in conjunction with a standard single GPO (240V) for home and small business use to provide maximum protection against supply surges and radio frequency interference being introduced into sensitive equipment via the power line.
Avico Electronics
Australian Approval
High impact plastic casing
Rated at 240V 10 Amp capable - the maximum a standard GPO is rated at.
Single outlet - just unplug the equipment to be protected from the wall and "piggy back" with this device to provide protection.
Small red light indicates AC power is on
Surge suppression occurs at 275V RMS
LC filter attenuates (doesn't give a figure) in the band 3Khz to 1Mhz
Dimensions: 130mm Length x 70mm Wide x 55mm Deep
Absolutely invaluable in areas prone to lightning activity and where the AC supply lines are "noisy" such as can be caused by motors, transformers or high load switching somewhere else in the main supply.
Original RRP was $60 for this accessory
