Description iFi Audio SilentPower GND Defender Ground Control iFi Audio SilentPower GND Defender Ground Control, ground control to major components. The optimum configuration for each system is one Ground/Earth for the whole system. If a system has multiple Grounds/Earths, then it often creates unwanted ground loops. These systems will then have an annoying low-frequency hum (emitted from the speakers). Current solutions either jeopardise (i) both safety and EMI shielding (e.g. cheater plug), or (ii) EMI shielding. And most are single country (US) uses only. The GND Defender in the correct way, intelligently detects a ground loop and will cut the ground for that component. View iFi Audio Products >> Features AI Detection – With a GND Defender at the IEC power input, it will intelligently detect and remove the ground loop at the component. EMI Shielding – The GND Defender device safely retains its EMI shielding. Global Usage – The GND Defender can be used all over the globe Battleship build. The GND Defender is not only at the cutting-edge in terms of technology but also safety: High-performance glass passivated semiconductor High Case Dielectric Strength of 1500VRMS UL Listed X7R Capacitor High-temperature stability Flame resistant IEC socket/connector/chassis Fireproof polymers UL94-V0 AI ground detection. The GND Defender: Intelligently breaks DC ground loops to eliminate ground loop hum EMI shielding is retained Equipment Safety is unaffected (not a ground lift – so maintains equipment safety ground) If multiple ground loops exist, more than one GND Defender may be required. The GND Defender is smarter than the average ground lift. By a long way. How do I use GND Defender Insert the GND Defender into the device and the connect the external device into the GND Defender. Specifications AI Ground Detection: Each unit will automatically disconnect the ground on that device Ground Safe: Auto reinstatement of ground connection to pass current if a fault is detected Voltage rating: 90 – 240 volts Surge overload rating 220A. Continuous current rating: 10A (1100W – 2400W) Universal IEC Hospital-grade IEC connectors Dimensions 68 x 37 x 32 mm / 2.7” x 1.5” x 1.3”. Weight 61g / 2.2oz.
