Gigawatt PF-2 EVO + PowerSync ULTRA Power Cord

PF-2 EVO is the improved version of the advanced filtering power strip designed to power and protect Hi-Fi audio and video systems.

The strip is made using high quality components. The distortion is filtered in a RLC filtering block. It is built using metalized polyester capacitors with low inductance and an IP (Iron Powder) filtering core.

The EVO version uses the highest quality capacitors manufactured by Miflex according to Gigawatt specifications.

All components of the filters, are mounted with silver solder on a massive, double-sided printed circuit board with very large cross-sections.

The strip doesn’t have typically protective elements, such as fuses or thermal fuses, which throttling the free flow of current to the protected circuits have a negative effect on the sound..

Protection against overvoltage and power surges is guaranteed by a multi-stage protection circuit, composed of plasma sparks and new generation of UltraMOV varistors.

Those elements, working together with a well designed, modern power grid, warrant a complex protection against overcurrent and overvoltage.

The PF-2 EVO uses an innovative current distribution system, being a proprietary development of the company.

It is based on massive power distribution bars of 2nd generation, made of polished, high purity, cathode copper slabs (Cu-ETP).

This system distributes the current directly to each pair of output sockets, using crimped and screw-tightened connections and GigaWatt Powerlink inner cabling with a cross-section of 4 QMM.

The use of the star wiring topology and the high conductance and massive cross-section of about 30 QMM of each of the bars warrants an equal and stable

power distribution regardless of the load on any of the strip’s outputs.

The PF-2 EVO power strip is equipped with six high quality power sockets GigaWatt G-040 Schuko, designed and manufactured by the company.

The brass connectors of those sockets were silver plated at the factory, without the usage of intermediary metals, like copper or nickel, which could introduce unfavorable series resistance and voltage loss.

The increased area of contact and the thick layer of silver guarantee sure contact with the plug pins. The sockets were additionally subdued to cryogenic modification and a demagnetizing process.

In order to effectively protect children, the G-040 sockets were equipped with integrated anti-surge shutters (increased protection against touching, conform with VDE 0620).

The PF-2 EVO is also available with outlets of type NEMA 5-20R, used in North America and some Asian countries, and with Australian outlets of type AS/NZS 3112.

All internal elements of the power strip are closed in a double metal chassis. This enclosure is a perfectly tight shield against RFI and EMI noise.

The strip is also equipped with a LED indicating proper operation of the device and a circuit indicating wrong polarization of the power line or wrongly connected grounding.

The strip is also equipped with a high quality IEC socket, allowing their user to connect any power cable. The power strip is equipped with the power cord PowerSync with 1.5m length.

To fully utilize the maximum potential of the PF-2 EVO we recommend the usage of the LC-2 EVO  or PowerSync ULTRA power cable.

PowerSync ULTRA is the best, copper, power cord, we have ever produced. The cable construction has been completely redesigned. Technical solutions are closer to those used in the top LS series.

Conductors are made from 99,997% pure copper (OFHC C10100, 5N), additionally subdued to an annealing process, which allows them to gain uniform structure and better conductance.

The design is a 8 x 1.5 mm2 lead, where each lead consist of 7 strands, spun in a tight pitch.

Twisted conductors ensure significant cable inductance reduction, maintaining favourable quite high self-capacitance.

The wires of the cable are protected by a static shield, made from laminated aluminum foil.

The tight construction of the shield covers 100% of the surface of the cable, perfectly protecting against all kinds of external interference, and EMI and RFI noises.

In addition the shield prevents the appearance and spread of internal interferences as well as returns parasitic currents to the ground wire.

In the construction of the cable a lot of attention was devoted to the reduction of the vibration created by the electromagnetic field induced around the conductors.

All wires and the shield are covered with elastic material damping the unwanted vibration. The cable is additionally protected from the outside with antistatic braid, which prevents static charges accumulation.

The PowerSync ULTRA uses the highest quality, company mains plugs. Their massive construction ensures extraordinary  durability  and reliability.

Casing of the plugs is made of compact aluminium. Their solid connectors are made of rhodium plated brass , which guarantees low impedance and larger amount of connecting cycles with no parameters loss .

Connectors were additionally subject to cryogenic treatment and de-magnetization. All conductors are connected with no use of tin, and plug connections are bolted which minimizes plug impedance and guarantees reliability.

PowerSync ULTRA is designed for advanced audio systems.

It can successfully power the strip or conditioner to which the whole system is connected.

Due to its large cross-section it is particularly recommended for applications related to high power consumption.
