Distribuitor de Alimentare Reductor DC Tomanek TAP5S+

Descriere

TOMANEK AUDIO POWER model TAP5S+ 5-socket power strip for powering audiophile equipment.

The TAP5S+ power strip is equipped with 5 Schuko-type sockets and an IEC-type input socket (4 sockets with Schaffner filters and a1 socket with a DC-Blocker).

Interference protection for equipment supplied via the TAP5S+ is implemented in the form of four independent Schaffner filters (one for each power socket). Thanks to the fact that each socket has its own filter, devices plugged into the strip not only have separation from the power source, but also from each other (they do not interfere with each other when plugged into one strip). The same is true of the sockets equipped with a DC-blocker constant component filter; it is a single DC-blocker designed for one socket only.

This combination provides very effective interference suppression and allows a high current load on the strip (5 A for each socket, but not more than 16 A in total for all sockets). The power strip can therefore be used to supply power to devices with high current consumption, such as power amplifiers, as well as all other components of the audio system.

One socket in the strip is equipped with a DC-blocker, this socket is dedicated to amplifiers equipped with traditional transformers.

The DC-blocker is a device/filter whose task is to eliminate the unwanted DC component of the 230 V supply voltage. DC is a ubiquitous phenomenon caused mainly by impulse devices (e.g. switched-mode power supplies) and all types of inverters. In the home, sources of this phenomenon can be e.g. washing machines, internal power supplies for TVs, TV tuners, routers, switches, phone chargers, power supplies for computers and laptops, etc.

The DC component has a negative effect on transformers in audio equipment – it causes their core to become magnetised, which brings with it a significant increase in the volume of their operation (so-called buzzing), increased heating of the transformer and a distortion of the sinusoidal shape of the voltage. All these negative effects of the presence of the DC component in the 230 V mains translate into a deterioration of the performance of power amplifiers and other audio equipment. A secondary effect is also a significant increase in the current consumption of audio equipment, which is largely lost in the form of excessive transformer heating and an increase in the volume of their mains transformers. The DC-blocker eliminates all the negative effects of the presence of DC. Simply plug it in between the 230 V socket and the device plug.

The socket equipped with the DC-blocker has a load capacity of 1500 W (~6.52A).

The backbone of the strip is a robust powder-coated metal housing with compact dimensions of 70 x 90 x 310 mm. This design provides the skirting board with very high mechanical strength and resistance to electromagnetic interference. Schaffner filters are located on a common board inside the casing.

The skirting board is supplied without a power cable. We encourage you to use the offer of professional cables of the Tomanek TPC series.

The power strips are designed so that they can be adjusted to individual requirements of the user, hence such modifications are possible as:

Assembly of sockets without filters or in a mixed mode, part with a filter, part without
Assembly of sockets of other standards, e.g. UK, USA or other
Assembly of a switch
Assembly of a power diode
