GigaWatt PF-1 EVO+ Australian Power Board
The PF-1 EVO+ is the fourth generation of GigaWatt’s most popular power strip model, produced in almost unchanged form for many years.
A filtering RLC-type block is responsible for suppressing interference. It was built using, among other things, metallized polyester capacitors with low inductance and an IP (Iron Powder) type filter core. All filter components are assembled with silver solder on a massive PCB with very large cross-section paths.
The strip dispenses with the use of traditional protective elements such as fusible or thermal fuses, which by throttling the free flow of current to the protected circuits have a negative effect on the sound. Surge protection of the strip is provided by a cascade protection system consisting of plasma spark gaps and a new generation of UltraMOV varistors. These elements, working together with a properly executed modern electrical installation, guarantee comprehensive protection against overvoltages and overcurrents.
The PF-1 EVO+ uses an innovative current distribution system, which is the company’s own development. It is based on massive distribution rails made of polished high-purity cathode copper (Cu-ETP) bars. The system supplies current directly to each pair of output sockets through crimped and screwed connections. The internal wiring is made with GigaWatt Powerlink 4 QMM OFHC copper conductors. The use of star connection topology, along with the high conductivity and massive cross-sectional area of 30 QMM of each rail, ensures even and stable power distribution regardless of the load on the individual outputs of the strip.
The massive housing of the PF-1 EVO+ strip is made entirely of metal. It also provides a perfectly tight shield against RFI and EMI interference. The strip is also equipped with an LED that indicates proper operation of the device.
The power strip is equipped with six, high-quality GigaWatt G-040 Schuko type power outlets, designed and manufactured in-house. The brass contacts of the sockets have been technically silvered at the factory, without the use of intermediate metals such as a layer of copper or nickel, which could introduce unfavourable series resistance and voltage drop. The enlarged surface of the contacts and the thick layer of silver guarantee a secure contact with the pins of the plugs.
As an option, for effective childproofing, G-040 sockets can be equipped with integrated electric shock shields (increased contact protection in accordance with VDE 0620). The PF-1 EVO+ is also available with NEMA 5-20R type power outlets, used in North America and some Asian countries, and Australian AS/NZS 3112 type outlets.
The PF-1 EVO+ uses an IEC input socket, which allows the user to plug in any power cable.
The power strip comes standard with a 1.5m PowerSync power cord. In order to use the PF-1 EVO+ to its maximum potential, the PowerSync PLUS or LC-2 EVO power cord is recommended.
