Power Plant Premier
You do not have to use the Power Amp IsoZone on the Power Plant Premier for a power amp. It is
marked like this for convenience.
All IsoZones are identical in build and all use our new Nano Crystalline soft magnetic material to clean
the AC power.
You can plug the Power
Plant into a 7.5 amp or 10
amp receptacle without any
problems .
MultiWave and CleanWave
are available on the Premier
but accessible only from the
supplied remote control.
MultiWave and CleanWave
are not recommended for
all equipment. For example,
neither CleanWave or MultiWave
should be used on equipment
with an AC motor. Most equipment is fi ne, but should you hear “funny noises” coming from the
equipment itself when using either of the non-sine wave positions, refrain from using the waveforms
until you can verify with the factory or your dealer or distributor if it is safe for your equipment.
The front panel metering system can monitor either voltage or distortion. In the voltage mode, you
can monitor the incoming voltage (from the wall) or the outgoing voltage (from the regenerator) or the
difference between the two. In the THD harmonic distortion mode, you can monitor either incoming
THD (from the wall) or outgoing THD (from the regenerator). The amount of output voltage and THD is
a function of a number of factors, including load, incoming line conditions and equipment connected.
In general the Premier will reduce incoming THD by a factor of 10 for a nominal load.
The output frequency of the Premier is the same as your country’s AC frequency. In North America,
the frequency of the AC line is typically 60Hz. In Europe and Asia, the output frequency is typically
50Hz. The Premier’s output frequency cannot be adjusted.
The Power Plant Premier is specifi c to your country’s voltage. Do not use the Power Plant Premier on
a voltage higher than it is rated for. For instance, do not take a 120 volt rated Power Plant Premier and
attempt to use it in a 230 volt country. Failure to observe this cautionary note will void your warranty
and may damage the Power Plant Premier. If you need to operate the Power Plant Premier at a
voltage other than the voltage it was designed for, contact your dealer, distributor or the factory.
