TRICKLESTAR 175SS-US-4CD SMART POWERTAP REDUCE VAMPIRE/STANDBY POWER CONSUMPTION OF A PC OR TV AND PERIPHERALS The Smart PowerTap provides high quality, advanced surge protection for a PC and TV and the peripherals. The Smart PowerTap also reduces the amount of vampire / standby energy consumed by PC and TV peripherals. The Smart PowerTap has in-built current sensing circuitry with 2 different switching thresholds to sense when a Control Device (typically a TV or PC) is On or Off / Standby and to then switch On / Off selected Outlets. The Smart PowerTap is easy to install and provides simple automation to reduce wasteful standby energy consumption.The Smart PowerTap is suitable for residential and workplace applications. Key Features - 4 Outlets
- 1 Control Outlet
- 1 Always On Outlet
- 2 Switched Outlets
- Selectable switching thresholds 18W / 35W
- 144,000 Amps / 2160 Joules X3 Surge Protection
- LED Status Indication (Ground, Surge Status, Control, Always On Outlet, Switched Outlets)
X3 MOV Surge Protection:
Traditional surge suppression products use standard MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor components). The TrickleStrip incoporates advanced X3 surge protection technology. X3 MOV technology is encased in a ceramic casing and is capable of suppressing more energy and dissipating heat faster than traditional MOV's. More importantly the ceramic casing is fireproof and is capable of preventing fire during abnormal surge conditions. TWILIGHT BRINGS ENERGY VAMPIRES Wait for the sun to go down and your house to go dark, then take a walk from room to room. See that? It's the glow of electronic devices eagerly waiting to be powered up again. And as they wait, they drain energy. "This wasted energy, known as standby or phantom energy loss, represents a relatively small but growing percentage of an individual home's electricity use (about five percent), but taken across all U.S. households, adds up to an estimated 65 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year", according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. |
