About the Juice Goose RX100-20A Rackmount AC Surge Protection and AC Filtering - 20A (Power Conditioner)
The Juice Goose RX100-20A is a professional-grade rackmount power conditioner designed to deliver clean, stable, and protected AC power to sensitive electronic equipment in demanding audio, video, and IT environments. This unit combines high-level surge suppression with advanced multi-stage AC line filtering to combat the two primary threats to system performance and reliability: transient voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI) noise. With a robust 20-amp capacity, it is engineered to protect and condition power for large equipment racks containing power-hungry gear such as amplifiers, digital signal processors, servers, and broadcast equipment, ensuring optimal operation and longevity.
The conditioner's protective circuitry utilizes a combination of metal oxide varistors (MOVs), gas discharge tubes, and thermal fuses to clamp destructive voltage surges and spikes, diverting harmful energy away from connected devices. Simultaneously, its multi-stage toroidal filtering technology attenuates a broad spectrum of line-borne noise that can degrade audio clarity, cause video artifacts, or lead to data errors in digital systems. The front panel typically features an illuminated voltmeter and ammeter, providing real-time visual confirmation of line voltage and current draw, which is crucial for identifying potential power issues before they cause damage.
Housed in a heavy-duty 1U or 2U steel chassis, the RX100-20A offers multiple filtered and protected outlets, often in both switched and unswitched banks for operational flexibility. Its construction emphasizes low-impedance power delivery to maintain voltage stability under high current loads. By providing both aggressive surge protection and deep noise filtration, the Juice Goose RX100-20A Power Conditioner serves as a critical first line of defense, creating a purified power foundation that enhances system performance, reduces maintenance costs, and safeguards valuable equipment investments.
