Torus Power provides very low source impedance to any connected devices. A low impedance power source allows a power amplifier to instantaneously deliver high amounts of current. A typical 200W audio power amplifier demands 10A RMS current from a 120V line but may demand up to 50Ainstantaneous peaks. The standard residential wall receptacle can’t supply the 50A peaks. A 20A Torus Power Audio Video power transformer can deliver 400A peaks when the system demands it.

Torus Power products use the finest, most sophisticated surge suppression technology available. Series Mode Surge Suppression does not shunt the spike to ground like MOVs do, therefore preventing ground contamination. Additionally, most MOV-based surge suppression units allow as much as 300V through to the protected components, easily enough to do substantial damage. Torus Power surge suppression has a clamping voltage onset of 2V above peak voltage. Torus Power is built to withstand 6000V, 3000A surges, with up to 1000 repeats.

A combination of advanced engineering and precision manufacturing allows Torus Power Transformers to achieve uppermost levels of electrical isolation that operates as an electronic firewall separating your sensitive electronic equipment from electrical impurities carried on the common power grid, while maintaining total product performance, and preserving the integrity of audio and video signals. It protects and isolates, with low noise and low stray magnetics.

Torus Power uses Plitron’s NBT (Narrow Band Technology) to attenuate differential and common-mode noise without external current limiting circuits or components. Torus Power provides noise filtering across a range from approximately 2kHz to over 1MHz – other regular transformer based products do not start operating until nearly 10kHz.

The result is startling – see press and user comments!

Torus Power uses Plitron’s LoNo (Low Noise) transformer design technology that eliminates audible noise in the power transformer regardless of line conditions, DC offset and over-voltage. Torus Power products perform at the NC10 level measured on the standard NC (Noise Criterion curve) – which makes them suitable for use in very quiet environments such as professional recording and broadcast studios, as well as the most demanding consumer audio video systems.

Balanced input power (2 X 120V) provides additional noise cancellation as the two input phases are 180 degrees out of phase from each other. Additionally,the input current is drawn at one half the output current capacity.
