GigaWatt PowerSync LS-2 EVO

LS-2 strømkablerne indtager en førende position i GigaWatts udvalg af strømkabler. De repræsenterer kulminationen af mange års erfaring og forskning i udviklingen af et reference-strømkabel.

Prioriteten i udviklingen af LS-2-projektet var at skabe et kompromisløst produkt uden hensyntagen til produktionsomkostninger. LS-serien er også et fremragende testgrundlag til at forbedre eksisterende og udvikle nye GigaWatt-produkter.

GigaWatt LS-2 EVO er næste generation af dette referencekabel. De grundlæggende designforudsætninger er de samme, men en vigtig ændring er brugen af nye ledere. I stedet for massive ledere anvendes flertrådede ledere. En tykkere tråd er blevet erstattet af syv tyndere, hvilket danner en leder med et samlet tværsnit på 1,5 mm2.

Designet består af en 9 x 1,5 mm2 leder, hvor hver leder består af 7 tråde, der er snoet i et tæt mønster. Lederne er fremstillet af sølvbelagt, oxygenfrit kobber med en renhed på 5N, som er produceret i overensstemmelse med vores specifikationer. Dette design øger den aktive overflade på lederen og gør kablet mere fleksibelt.

Hele strukturen er dækket af en forseglede kobberskærm, der beskytter mod EMI- og RFI-støj.

Der er også lagt stor vægt på at reducere de vibrationer, der genereres af det elektromagnetiske felt omkring lederne. Arbejdslederne er omgivet af et lagdelt materiale, der dæmper uønskede vibrationer. Udenpå er kablet yderligere beskyttet af en sort tekstiljakke lavet af polyolefinfibre og et antistatisk net, som forhindrer ophobning af elektrostatisk ladning.

Til LS-2 EVO er der udviklet et nyt tabsfrit passivt filter lavet af nanokrystallinske legeringer, som monteres i en nøje udvalgt position i kablet og yder ekstra beskyttelse mod parasitstøj og svingninger ved kabeludgangen.

Kabelsamlingen er fuldstændig manuel. Fremstillingen af ét enkelt LS-2 EVO strømkabel kræver mange timers specialiseret arbejde, og alle produktionsfaser foregår under streng kontrol for at sikre den højeste produktkvalitet og gentagelsesnøjagtighed.

Det er også værd at bemærke, at kablet er udstyret med vores egne proprietære stik, som er fremstillet efter vores specifikationer. Deres massive konstruktion sikrer ekstraordinær holdbarhed og pålidelighed. Stikkets hus er lavet af kompakt aluminium, mens de solide forbindelser er fremstillet af rhodiumbelagt messing. Disse stik gennemgår desuden kryogen behandling og afmagnetisering. Alle ledere er forbundet uden brug af tin, og stikforbindelserne er skruet fast for at minimere kontaktimpedans og sikre pålidelig drift.

LS-2 EVO anbefales især til strømforsyning af enheder med højt strømforbrug, men det kan også bruges til reference lyd- og videosystemer. Kablet fås også i en højstrøm-version som LS-2HCEVO, som er et dedikeret strømkabel til GigaWatt PC-4 EVO+ strømrenseren.

GigaWatt PowerSync LS-2 EVO

The LS-2 power cords occupy a leading position in the GigaWatt power cable offer. They are the culmination of many years of experience and research on the project of a reference power cable.

The priority in creating the LS-2 project was to obtain an uncompromising product without taking into account any limitations related to its production costs. The LS series is also an excellent testing ground for improving existing and constructing new GigaWatt products.

The GigaWatt LS-2 EVO is the next generation of this reference cable. The main construction assumptions, remain the same, while the important change is the use of new conductors.

The main design assumptions remain the same, while the use of new conductors is a significant change. Instead of solid wires, we used s multi strand. One thicker wire has been replaced by seven thinner ones, forming a lead with a total cross section of 1,5mm2.

The design is a 9 x 1.5 mm2 lead, where each lead consist of 7 strands, spun in a tight pitch. The conductors are made of silver plated oxygen-free copper with a purity of 5N, produced according to our specifications. This design increases the active surface area of ​​the wire and makes the cable more flexible.

The whole structure is covered by a sealed copper screen, protecting against EMI and RFI noise.

In the cable construction, great importance was also attached to the reduction of vibrations generated by the electromagnetic field induced around conductors. Working wires are surrounded by a multilayered material, dumping unwanted vibrations. From the outside, the cable is additionally protected by a black, textile jacket made of polyolefin fiber and an antistatic mesh that prevents electrostatic accumulation.

Especially dedicated for LS-2 EVO a new loss-free passive filter of nano-crystal alloys was worked out. It is being assembled in a preciously selected spot in a cable and constitutes additional protection against parasitic noises and oscillations on the cable output

Cable assembly is completely manual. Making one piece of LS-2 EVO, power cord, requires hours of specialist work, and all stages of the manufacturing process take place under strict control ensuring the highest quality of product and repeatability of subsequent items.

It is also worth noticing, that the cable is equipped with splendid proprietary plugs, made to our specifications.Their massive construction ensures extraordinary  durability  and reliability. Casing of the plugs is made of compact aluminium. Their solid connectors are made of compact brass covered with rhodium, which guarantees low impedance and larger amount of connecting cycles with no parameters loss . Connectors were additionally subject to cryogenic treatment and de-magnetization. All conductors are connected with no use of tin, and plug connections are bolted which minimizes plug impedance and guarantees reliability.

LS-2 EVO is recommended particularly for powering of high power consumption appliances, although will successfully power reference audio and video sources too. The cable is also available in high power version as LS-2HCEVO, being a  dedicated power cable for the top GigaWatt PC-4 EVO+ power conditioner.
