PD8
ETA’s line of Conditioned Power
Distribution
units are designed to
prevent electrical damage to sensitive
electronic equipment from high
amplitude/short duration spikes,
random surges, and EMI/RFI noise,
which is inherent in utility power lines.
Power line sources which are not
preconditioned or filtered can affect
reliable operation of sensitive audio,
computer, and other electronic
equipment, and may cause premature
failure, expensive repairs, or unan-
ticipated replacement from non-
repairable damage.
As inherent problems in utility AC
power lines increase for various
reasons, and the need for noise-free,
conditioned power increases, ETA is
there with the units to protect your
valuable electronic equipment. With
presentdemandsonthepowerutilities,
voltage spikes, power surges, electri-
cal noise, and power failures are
commonplace. This "garbage" in the
powerdeliveredcanreducethefidelity

failure, or result in extensive damage
