TAGA PC-9000DC - Power Cleaner

TAGA PC-9000DC cleans your power and combines four functions in one device: filtering of power noise, blocking of direct current components, linear power supply to USB ports, and protection against overvoltage and overload for all power outlets and USB ports.

POWER NOISE FILTERING

The power grid in our homes and workplaces is affected by various disturbances, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) from devices connected to the same network – think refrigerators, air conditioners, or computers. These disturbances come not only from your own household or office but also from other devices in the building or even from outside. They can vary depending on the time of day or week, as the load on the power grid shifts. This noise can sneak into the alternating current and disrupt your system. So-called "dirty" power can degrade the performance of your audio and video system.

With PC-9000, you effectively reduce this disturbing noise and protect your system from contaminated power.

Contaminated power also negatively affects the internal circuits and power supplies in your equipment. PC-9000DC acts as a barrier between the wall outlet and your devices, which can extend the lifespan of the components.

The device has separate groups of switched and unswitched 230V–240V outlets (Schuko type) with four independent filters, tailored for each group and adapted for specific audio and video equipment.

• Each outlet group has its own SQ inductor for common mode noise.
• High-quality, oxygen-free, and flat copper wire with enamel coating.
• Low DC resistance, uniform electric field, and minimal capacitance for better filtering of high-frequency EMI.
• Efficient heat dissipation for increased performance.
• High current capacity with flat copper wire of extra high density
• Benefits such as minimal magnetic leakage, good conduction and radiation effect, stable power quality, and improved high-frequency skin effect.
• High-quality Class-X capacitors for even better filtering.
• A powerful 200W toroidal transformer isolates the equipment from mains noise
  • A shielding aluminum cover protects the transformer from electromagnetic interference and increases its efficiency.
• 18AWG oxygen-free copper wires (primary AWM 1672, secondary AWM 1007) for optimal conductivity.
• Oxygen-free copper wires (AWM 1015 16AWG) connect the mainboard to the outlets.

[DC-blockerare]

The built-in [DC-blockerare] reduces or removes unwanted DC in the voltage to selected outlets. DC can cause buzzing sounds and raise the temperature of transformers, which degrades sound quality. With the blocker, your audio and video devices operate quieter and more efficiently, and mains hum in speakers is significantly reduced.

The [DC-blockerare] can be activated in real time for selected 230V–240V outlet groups.

• Turn it on or off directly to optimize the sound experience.
• Powerful blocking of up to 12,000 mV (12V) DC.
• 10 high-frequency high-power bridges and 2 x 47,000 µF capacitors provide effective blocking without compromising sound quality.

LINEAR POWER SUPPLY FOR USB PORTS

Many DC-powered devices use simple, cheap external adapters with switched power supplies. These operate at high frequencies, which can create electrical interference that spreads to the devices and even affects other appliances via the power grid. Such noise significantly degrades audio and video performance. The solution? A high-quality linear power supply like the one in PC-DC, which provides an immediate and clear improvement in the sound of your DC-powered devices.

The built-in toroidal transformer for source devices also provides stable power to the USB ports.
Three-stage filtering:

• Stage I & II (230–240V): initial filtering via the device's noise filter and then through the isolation transformer.
• Stage III (DC voltage): custom filtering, including high-frequency EMI filter for 5V output, separate for the USB ports.

SILVER-PLATED AND COPPER-BASED INTERNAL CABLES

Internal cables between the main board and outlets (230V–240V and USB) are made of silver-plated, 99.99% pure oxygen-free copper with Teflon insulation.
Cables to power inlets and switches (Power, Phase, Reset) are AWM 1015 14AWG in oxygen-free copper.
Analog and digital indicators use double-insulated AWM 1672 22AWG oxygen-free copper wires.

OVERVOLTAGE AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION

PC-9000 protects all outputs against overvoltage and overload.

• Stage I: filtering and protection system with resettable circuit breaker.
• Stage II (USB): four-step protection with isolation transformer, step-down regulator, high-frequency EMI filtering for 5V, and short-circuit and thermal protection.

OTHER FEATURES

• Analog voltage indicator with selectable lighting shows the stability of the wall outlet voltage.
• Digital display for voltage (V), current (mA/A), and power (W) in real time, with shutdown option.
• Phase detection and polarity selector warn of incorrect phase and make correction easy.
• IEC C14 inlet and detachable Schuko-IEC C13 cable allow upgrading to a premium cable.
