RM SERIES power transformer
RM SERIES
Technology
- Toroidal Isolation
- Noise Filtering
- High Instantaneous Current Capability
- Lightning and Surge Protection
Description
The original Torus Power models in the RM series remain unparalleled for performance, protection, and value, with models from 15 Amp to 100 Amp.
A popular model in the RM series is the RM 20, which has been consistently top-rated by leading audiophile magazines. Torus Powers power isolation units (PIUS) combine search suppression with massive toroidal transformers to provide AC power conditioning and protection from voltage surges.
The RM 20 uses a single 2400 VA toroidal transformer to supply 120V at 20A to the 10 AC outlets on its rear panel. It has a 20 a circuit breaker for its on off switch and uses a 14 AWG detachable AC cord rated at 15 amp/125V. “The PIU greatly enhances subtle details of tone, timber, and imaging when dynamics were extreme or the volume was loud”, and is a recommended component of Stereophile magazine.
Smaller models (such as RM 15) are ideal for mid-size systems, while the RM5 can be dedicated to front-end components, media servers, etc. Larger custom installation models rated 60 Amp and 100 Amp balanced input provide clean, protected power for the largest custom installed systems. Many Torus Power models feature Balanced 240V input. This configuration provides additional noise cancellation as the two input phases are 180 degrees out of phase from each other.
Torus Power RM, AVR, and AVR2 series models use extra heavy duty medical grade outlets custom manufactured by Hubbell. These outlets provide greater contact force, reduced heat buildup, and redundant grounding, and are vastly superior to commercial grade outlets. Torus Power 15 Amp & 20 Amp Outlets are available for purchase.

AVR Elite Series
New! Torus Power AVR ELITE: Featuring Torus Power Connect
Description
All Torus Power AVR ELITE series models are a full-feature state-of-the-art power transformer, isolating and protecting your system. Like all Torus Power products, the AVR ELITE series provides true isolation (using massive toroidal transformers) and protects all connected equipment from the risk of severe power line surges using series-mode surge suppression. Use Torus Power Connect to enable remote power management of the AVR ELITE.
In addition, Torus AVR ELITE provides stable voltage to keep equipment running in the optimal range of 116VAC to 124VAC (120V +/- 4V) for any input voltage from 90V to 130VAC. (International units operate within nominal input voltage such as 220V, 230V, 240V; Torus AVR ELITE keeps them operating within a range of +/- 8 V.)
Torus Power AVR ELITE technology uses a micro-processor to monitor and control the voltage, seamlessly switching the multi-tapped toroidal transformer to ensure the voltage powering your connected equipment remains in the optimal range. In the event of a high or low incoming mains voltage fault condition the unit automatically disconnects power to the connected equipment, adding another level of protection. When the input voltage restores to the proper range, the AVR ELITE will automatically restart normal operation to restore power to your connected equipment.
The Torus Power AVR ELITE includes an attractive front panel LCD display to provide information regarding input and output voltages, output current, power consumption, total harmonic distortion, time and date, as well as displaying fault conditions.
Voltage sags, brownouts and surges can stress components and shorten equipment life. Torus Power AVR deals with these problems effectively, providing stable voltages for your valuable equipment.
