TRANSFORMER BASED FILTER SERIES (TBF™) POWER FILTERS
Considered to be one of the most significant developments in the power protection industry.
TBF™ Filters contain innovative technology that combines Surge Suppression and Noise
Isolation which filters the noise on the ground to less than 0.5 Volts (US Patent # 6229682).
Exclusive "POVP" Prolonged Over Voltage Protector (US Patent # 6560086) disconnects
the output power if voltage exceeds 155 volts. Exclusive Smart Technology (US Patent
#5721661) protects microprocessor based equipment against reverse polarity or no ground.
The patented TBF™ filters prevent 90% of the power problems experienced by your POS
system, computer, copier and facsimile machine.
LINE CONDITIONERS
Reduces the need for a dedicated line where voltage on ground is present. This transformer
isolation technology is an option to expensive rewiring where poor wiring conditions exist on
older or renovated buildings.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR - AVR SERIES
Regulates the voltage to protect equipment against voltage sags and brownouts. Electronic
systems are designed to operate based on a clean and constant supply of AC voltage.
Smart Power Systems' AVR line provides boost & buck capability to eliminate under or over
voltage fluctuations.
UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES - UPS SERIES
Smart Power Systems' Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) integrated TBF™ Technology
provide on-line power conditioning.
