Gigawatt PF-2 MK2

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. All components of the filters are soldered to a
massive PCB with large cross-section of the traces, with silver solder.
In this strip we also resigned from using traditional protective elements, like wire or thermal fuses, which throttle the free flow of
current to the protected circuits and by this have a negative influence 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-1 MK2 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 cabling made
from electrolytic copper wires with a cross-section of 2,5 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-1 MK2 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-1 MK2 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.
The massive and durable chassis of the strip is made from metal. This creates a perfectly closed shield, protecting the inside
filter and power distribution system from RFI noise. The power strip is also equipped with a LED signaling proper function and
power available on the sockets.
