1. True Isolation • Torus Power provides true isolation from the external power

grid via Plitron toroidal isolation transformer.

2. Noise Attenuation - NBT • Narrow Bandwidth Technology uses the toroid as a low pass

filter. • Attenuation from 2kHz to 1MHz at 12dB/decade up to 500kHz. • Torus Power does not use passive current-limiting filter banks.

3. High Instantaneous Power on Demand • Torus Power can supply high levels of instantaneous current on

demand (up to 10x the current rating of the product) • Torus Power provides low source impedance and can draw stored

magnetic energy from the magnetic field of the toroid. • Dynamic loads like amplifiers perform better when they don’t

have to struggle to get sufficient power from the wall.

2. Noise Attenuation - NBT • Narrow Bandwidth Technology (NBT) uses the toroid

as a low pass filter. • Attenuation from 2kHz to 1MHz at 12dB/decade up to

500kHz. • Torus Power does not use passive current-limiting

filter banks to achieve attenuation.

3. High Instantaneous Current Capability • Torus Power can supply high levels of instantaneous

power. This is achieved through an optimally designed transformer which is capable of providing clean and least obstructed power flow.

• Dynamic loads like amplifiers perform better when they don’t have to struggle to get sufficient power from the wall.

6. Ethernet Monitoring & Control • Electrical parameters (Voltage In/Out & Current

Draw) may be monitored on the Torus Power, or via any web browser on the local network.

• Email Fault Notification in the event of system fault • Switch-On Safety Delay • Power cycling (on/off) via web browser interface (all

outlets for AVR, individual zones for AVR2) • Scheduler and Sequencer • Auto Reboot when internet is lost

5. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) • Maintains system voltage at 120V +/-5V with

incoming voltage from 85V to 135V. • Start-up Delay as an additional safety feature to

protect against extreme voltage conditions. • Programmable automatic shut-off during extreme

voltage.

4. Series Mode Surge Suppression (SMSS) • Meets IEEE C62.41 1991 (6000V, 3000A, 1000 times) • Torus Power SMSS absorbs the surge in the toroid

and slowly bleeds it to the loads, preventing ground contamination.

• Torus Power SMSS does not shunt surges to ground like MOVs.

UNDERSTANDING POWER APPENDIX A1: Incoming Power

Source: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/power.htm

Incoming Power: High levels of noise due to voltage shaping

(inverters & converters) and the growing number of noise-generating household devices (dimmers, non-linear power supplies, non-linear loads).

The effects of power line impedance become greater as the distance to the load increases. This can result in loss of power.

Inconsistent voltage levels (Sags, Brownouts, Surges and Spikes)

“Keeping voltage distortion, current harmonics, normal mode noise and common mode noise to a minimum in a power distribution system is absolutely necessary for reliable operation.”

-Arthur Kelm, Ground One Work Includes: Chief Engineer at Skywalker Sound, Technical Consultant to Walt Disney Imagineering, General

Manager & Technician at Record One Studios

This pure 120V sine wave is required for every audio video system, especially high fidelity systems that are more discriminating.

*Motors and switching power supplies are the primary culprits for noise. Common Mode Noise is noise between the neutral and ground, Differential Mode Noise is noise between the neutral and line.

THINKING ABOUT POWER IN A DIFFERENT WAY APPENDIX A3: MANAGING INCOMING POWER

“For years sensitive electronics have been segregated from other equipment in the recording and post production environment. When engineering a new system all loads should be divided into categories and isolated from one another.”

-Arthur Kelm, Ground One Work Includes: Chief Engineer at Skywalker Sound, Technical Consultant to Walt Disney Imagineering, General

Manager & Technician at Record One Studios

Motor loads are frequently associated with the negative effects of voltage spikes & dips when motors start up (example: HVAC systems).

Motor Loads

These loads are generally not a problem with the exception of florescent light ballasts and SCR dimmer circuits.

Lighting &

Convenience Loads

These are the most critical loads that must isolated, protected and conditioned! Audio Video systems are a perfect example.
