About The Thor Prodigy P8 Power Board
Thor Technologies is an Australian company that specialises in power protection devices. As one of the leading companies in the industry, Thor is committed to providing cutting edge, surge and filter protectors that use the latest technology to defend your devices. All the company's products are designed to meet and exceed high standards of quality and performance. Simply put, Thor surge protectors are a cut above the competition.
The Thor Prodigy P8 is a surge protector designed with a patented non-sacrificial technology that safeguards your devices against power surges. Including Thor's ultimate dynamic active tracking filter, it conditions power on its way to your devices to improve performance, meaning less noise through hi-fi equipment, less streaming issues and Internet dropouts and a higher level of performance from Home Theatre and gaming equipment. That's thanks to this filter providing 70% more filtration than other comparable surge protectors on the market.
The P8's outlets are divided into three banks. An unfiltered outlet for products where filtration is undesirable like power over Ethernet devices. Bank One featuring three outlets on an isolated filtration circuit that reduces crosstalk and Bank Two featuring four outlets with earth loop and hum reduction. There are four wide spaced outlets for large plug adapters as well as network and antenna protection too.
Unlike current traditional surge protection technology Thor's patented circuit is not-sacrificial. It uses a regeneration process to absorb spikes and surges then resets itself ready to protect over and over again. To use an analogy, think of a shock absorber. A shock absorber is designed for absorbing the energy of sudden impulses or shocks in machinery or structures and once that energy has been absorbed, it resets back to its default state. Thor's Patented Non-Sacrificial Technology does the same, except working against dangerous spikes and surges in power.
Thor's patented non-sacrificial circuit design allows The Prodigy P8 to continue regenerating and protecting your devices where traditional surge protectors would fail after one or two big hits. If the circuit suffers damage a continuous alarm will sound to let you know.
And the Fireproof MOV will ensure that the unit can't catch fire. Best of all, Thor's unlimited connected equipment warranty provides peace of mind if any device plugged into the unit suffers damage from a power surge Thor will replace the device, no matter the value. That's how confident they are in their product. Thor's technological advances like the non-sacrificial circuit make them one of the best brands around when it comes to surge protection and they're designed right here in Australia.
Fireproof MOV: It's rare for a surge protector to experience a thermal event, but with fire-proof MOV technology, you will eliminate any worries of additional damage occurring beyond the surge protector. MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistor) are the internal components that allow normal current to pass through the surge protector to your equipment, while diverting any harmful surges and spikes through the ground wire.
If the incoming voltage exceeds what the MOV can safely divert, the MOV will cut power to protect the connected equipment. In rare cases, a powerful surge could cause a conventional MOV to ignite and catch fire. Fireproof MOVs are encased in a ceramic, non-flammable material to prevent sparks or flames from occurring, protecting against electrical fires.
Prodigy Series (Patented): The Prodigy Series incorporates Thor's non sacrificial patented protection circuit. It is a game changer in the Industry as thorough testing has not been able to "damage" this unique protection circuit. It has survived over 130 simulated lightning strikes of over 6600V each with absolutely no sign of stress or damage. To put this in perspective a premium surge board may survive one or maybe two hits of the equivalent surge and will be totally destroyed. The circuit can easily be embedded or integrated into existing products that need bullet proof protection.
Dynamic Active Tracking: The Prodigy Series includes the recently (2023) improved Dynamic Active Tracking filtering circuit. This is an active filter technology. It works similarly to noise cancelling headphone technology except in the mains power. It has the ability to "clean out" unwanted frequencies on both the upward and downward curve of the sine wave (power). Most filters on the market only target frequencies at the crest of the sine wave. Tests have recorded an improvement of over 70% better performance when compared to other brands using the Australian Industry Standard comparison.
