Line Conditioners
Line conditioners
work by filtering and smoothing the power stream to eliminate dips, fluctuations
and interference that can cause power to be "noisy". Their ability to reduce noise
is measured in decibels over a given frequency range (just like noise
reduction in your home stereo system). The more noise reduction, the
better. Good line conditioners can be quite costly due to the high
quality of components required to do the best job. In some ways, a
surge suppressor can be consider the "poor man's line conditioner". A line conditioning unit.
In practice, relatively few PC users employ line conditioners. Those who
can afford to spend hundreds of dollars protecting their equipment tend
to prefer instead uninterruptible power supplies, because while line conditioners
provide very good protection against other power problems, they do not
help in the event of a blackout. |
