Introducing Torus Power

by Nyal Mellor September 28, 2010

Who are Torus Power?

Torus Power is a Canadian company based in Toronto. Torus make Power Isolation Units (PIUs) that use torodial isolation transformer technology perfected by their parent company, Plitron Manufacturing. Their main features are:

NBT (Narrow Band Technology), which significantly attenuates mains borne noise without use of external filtering circuits
LoNo (Low Noise) which eliminates audible noise generated by the transformer
SMSS (Series Mode Surge Supression) which is surge supression technology that does not use sacrificial MOVs (metal oxide varistors)

What products do they have?

2.5A-290A
120V or 240V inputs. 240V input products allow for 'balanced power' which provides additional cancelation of common mode noise (mains borne noise present on both live and neutral)
AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) option which keeps the output voltage at a steady 120V
Here is another video from CEDIA showing the measured effects of the Torus units on power quality.

Where can I get a buy one or get a demonstration?
Torus Power units are available online from our ecommerce store. We also have demo units available and we can offer in home demonstrations.
