10.09.2008 — Richard Gray's Power Company has introduced the SubStation Pro, a power management device that uses a 240-volt AC line.

It turns a 240V line into an isolated 120V line to help A/V components run more efficiently and generate less heat.

RGPC says the SubStation Pro isolates installs so all connected components operate on a "blank slate" of conditioned AC power.

RGPC says the SubStation Pro has a capacity of 4,000 watts — nearly 2,000 more than the original SubStation — and is designed for mid-sized electronics.

The SubStation Pro, designed only for 240V input, takes up four rack spaces and has six 20-amp outlets on the rear panel.

The company also says a lightning strike cannot penetrate the isolation transformer, adding that it automatically rejects the unbalanced signal.

The RGPC SubStation is now shipping.
