PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
By combining noise filtration and surge suppression technology, the Juice Goose RX Series reduces Common Mode Noise to less than 1 Volt, while limiting Normal Mode Noise to under 10Volts. Plus, the RX Series products guard against building wiring faults (e.g. mis-wiring on hot, neutral and/or ground) and provide protection from long duration over voltages by shutting off power when voltage exceeds 150 to 155 volts for 100 milliseconds or more.
ALL IN AN INEXPENSIVE PACKAGE
RX Series products use a new, patented Hybrid Filter Technology to clean up both normal mode and common node noise without contaminating the ground. Normal Mode noise occurs between the line and neutral leads of an electric power circuit. Common Mode occurs between either the line or neutral and the safety ground lead.
The Hybrid Filter uses a differential transformer which acts as a low pass, "line conditioning" filter and performs in the same way as a series mode inductor. This component, along with a capacitor and fast acting energy diverters between neutral and ground comprise the foundation of the Hybrid Filter design which conditions incoming AC power, removing normal and common mode noise without adversely affecting the ground line.

Notes to Table: N/L = information not listed in company's published specifications. N/A = specification not relevant to the particular product design (e.g. inductors and filters in the RX Series do not "clamp" as do MOVs and "crowbar" type devices - and so, have no technical response time). All information was obtained from published data sheets or web sites and was believed to be accurate at the time of this publication.
A LAB TEST
In an electronics testing and design laboratory, the Juice Goose RX Series circuit and a Surgex SX 908 were subjected to the same high voltage surge events using sophisticated surge generation and recording equipment. The Juice Goose circuit outperformed Surgex in reducing the voltage let through on both normal and common mode.
In the Normal Mode Test both devices were subjected to a 6,000 volt surge. The Juice Goose RX Series circuit allowed 3.7 volts to pass. The Surgex device allowed passage of 196.0 volts. In the Common Mode Test, surge input voltage was reduced somewhat. The Juice Goose circuit was subjected to a 3,000 volt surge. It allowed 0.287 volts (i.e. 287 millivolts) to pass through. The Surgex device was subjected to one third that amount of surge, 1,000 volts. It allowed a substantial 855.0 volts through.
The charts below are actual electronic photo images take from the oscilloscopes at the time the tests were performed. Click here to download a pdf of the Normal Mode Test or the Common Mode Test.
