Ground Line Protection

Juice Goose RX Series power protection technology is
particularly valuable because it works against ground
line (common mode) as well as hot to neutral (normal
mode) events. While ground line surges and distur­bances don’t typically cause catastrophic damage, they
can result in operating failures and improper perform­ance of digital processing equipment.

Compared with the low operating voltage of processor
logic, a power anomaly of even 1 or 2 volts on data
lines or logic ground can cause problems. That’s why
the RX Series products limit ground line voltage surges
to only 1/2 volt.

RX Series products also protect against more dramatic
events. Connected equip ment is safe from surges up to
6,000 volts at 3,000 amps on hot, neutral and ground.

The RX Series design includes a differential transformer,
lots of filtering capacitance and surge diverting compo­nents. Control circuitry provides protection from external
wiring faults including hot-neutral reversal, missing
ground and over voltage. RX technology delivers per­formance enhancement and protection comparable to
an isolation transformer – but at a fraction of the price
and in a fraction of the space.

Video Performance

Improve performance of HD monitors and projectors
while protecting your valuable investment. When high
frequency interference reaches your HD image through

the power cord, image quality is lost along with much of
the reason for going HD in the first place. At the same
time, dangerous high energy events you may or may not
notice can shorten the life of your video machine.

Convenience

The Juice Goose RX 30 is built into the middle of a
power cord (“Filtercord”) to provide a convenient, easy
to install package for use with non racked equipment
such as digital signage monitors, m edia pla yers and pr o­jectors. It can also be used as added protection for a
rack mounted power strip. The RX 30 features a three
foot power source cable with a right angle plug to lie flat
against a wall.

The power outlet side of the RX 30 includes three re­ceptacles placed 90 degrees from each other to accom­modate multiple components including AC adapters.
This design allows for better filter module placement and
connection with hard to reach AC outlets.

PERFORMANCE

PHYSICAL

Juice Goose RX Series products use a patented Hy­brid Filter Technology to clean up both normal mode
(between line and neutral) and common mode
(between neutral and ground) noise without contami­nating the ground line. Many popular power condition­ers are less effective on normal mode and provide
little or no protection f rom common m ode interferen ce.
“Series mode” protection circuits are not designed to
protect against common mode disturbances on the
ground line.

The Hybrid Filter Technology includes components
that act as a low pass filter which reduces high fre­quency interference. Other components absorb or di­vert high speed, high energy normal and common
mode surges that can cause immediate or eventual
damage to electronic components. Energy impulses as
great as 6,000 volts are reduced to no more than 10
volts between hot and neutral and only 0.5 volts be­tween neutral and ground.

The RX Series filter circuit also protects against struc­tural wiring problems. Relays in the RX Series unit pre­vent operation in conditions of incorrect hot, neutral or
ground wiring connection or in the event of danger­ously high voltage.

If this unit is plugged into an outlet that is not properly
wired - if hot, neutral and ground are not properly con­nected - power will not pass to the receptacles and a
light on the front of the unit will indicate a wiring fault.

Therefore, a functioning ground connection is required
to operate any RX Series product. This same safety
measure functions when incoming voltage exceeds

RECEPTACLES (NEMA 5-15R) THREE

150 volts. In this over voltage situation the unit will not
pass power to connected equipment.
