Differant manufactures recommend differant limits but the rule of thumb is no more than 10%. I do not allow more than 5% myself.

Djembeplay, this is the response I received from Furman. Hello, This unit will not regulate the voltage but it will still protect from a surge.

Is the equipment conmnected to the Furman still protected as in a power surge? |
This isn't a consistent thing... in fact it's the first time it has happened here. I do use a pretty nice power conditioner / surge protector - a Furman elite 15i. This doesn't have any protection against a brown-out though, does it? It has an automatic voltage shut-off when the power dips below about 85v... and I don't believe that this kicked the other night when the brown-out happened. My amp did go into 'protection mode' for a second though, so maybe the undervoltage protection kicked in... How severe and for how long does a brown-out usually need to be for any damage to occur? What actually causes the damage? Thanks- |
