Filtering Power Strip GigaWatt PF-1
The filtering power strip PF-1 is a basic element of filtration and power distribution in audio and video systems, without the need to worry about their safety. This is a special product in the GigaWatt offering, because it surprises with its solid construction and craftsmanship quality at the given price, and with the positive influence on the sound. PF-1 is the cheapest product in the offering, using the technologies and components used in the more expensive products of GigaWatt.
The power strip is equipped with six high quality Schuko output sockets with silver plated connectors. Those sockets are manufactured to GigaWatt exclusive specification. The connectors are factory silver plated without the usage of intermediates metals, like copper or nickel, which could introduce additional serial resistance and voltage drop. All contacts are free of ferromagnetic and the thick silver layer guarantees good contact with the plugs and lowers significantly the impedance of the connection. The strip is also equipped with a high quality IEC socket, allowing their user to connect a power cable of required length. The GigaWatt LC-1 (MK2) 1.5m cable is supplied as a standard accessory with the PF-1 strip.
The massive and durable chassis is made from metal. This creates a perfectly closed shield, protecting the inside filter and power distribution system from RFI noise. The chassis is electrically connected to the PE cable and provides electrical safety as confirmed by external tests done by certifying labs. The main element of the PF-1 power strip is a triple passive filter and a unique system of voltage distribution to the separate sockets. The proprietary power distribution system is based on three massive bars of a cross-section of 30mm2 each, made from slabs of pure copper. Separate bars for each of the sockets guarantee an even and stable power distribution, regardless of the load on each of the sockets. This system, together with internal wiring of large cross-section and cramped connections, guarantees reliability. The power strip is also equipped with a LED signaling proper function and power available on the sockets.
Modern construction of the filtering power strip PF-1 is free from elements, used traditionally as protection, like thermal and blow fuses.
All GigaWatt products are subject to an insurance policy, that covers damage to the connected equipment up to 250 000 EUR.
