Wall Cabinet Systems

Product Information

Award winning Equi=Tech Wall Cabinet Systems are factory preassembled power distribution centers for hard wiring balanced AC power into a facility - a complete balanced power distribution system built into a wall cabinet.  Only minimal installation is required eliminating many expensive hours of labor and hard to find electrical parts.  All the necessary components such as transformer, breakers, GFCIs, surge protectors and line filters are factory assembled using the highest quality materials and components. 

Wall systems are designed to blanket an entire facility with clean and phase coherent balanced AC power that remains stable regardless of how they are loaded down.  5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20 kVA sizes provide 50, 75, 100, 150 or 200 amps respectively - ideal capacities for most studios and modestly sized theaters or auditoriums.  These systems utilize the same precision toroid isolation transformers as Equi=Tech rack systems but they are much larger with a greater capacity.  Wall systems are the easiest way to provide clean power for a larger facility, doing so with the assurance that the system will remain quiet regardless of what equipment is used or added to it at any time. 

Wall system's components are housed in a sturdy NEMA 12 steel cabinet and feature a rugged industrial-duty AC distribution panelboard with commercial grade circuit breakers, transient voltage surge protection and ground fault circuit interrupters.  The models 15WQ and 20WQ have a 2-part cabinet with an additional lower section that houses their massive toroid transfromer. The cabinets come in black or light gray with a chrome latching handle and an enamel white interior.  Wall cabinet systems are approved safe and are listed in compliance with ANSI/UL Std. 1012 for power distribution equipment.


Equi=Tech Wall Cabinet Systems are designed around Equi=Tech's revolutionary "Q-type" isolation transformer.  "Q" transformers are designed to have exceptionally low line impedance and include two Faraday shields for superior isolation (>100dB CMR) from high frequency RF, EMI and harmonic currents.  "Q" transformers are acoustically quiet even in locations where there is considerable utility line distortion and poor power quality.  They are much larger than standard toroids with the same power rating and they run just slightly warm when operated near their rated load current capacity.  A proprietary winding design eliminates high inrush current problems that are inherent in toroid transformers. They also provide for broad band distortion-free playback under the most demanding load conditions.  Their performance is exceptional where power hungry amplifiers might otherwise choke during periods of high peak current demands when powered by a conventional AC supply.  "Q" transformers add tightness and startling definition to low frequency music. In rooms with less than ideal acoustical features that are known to affect low frequency sonic quality, they will restore the low-end in dramatic fashion,  They are a must for recording studios that perform mastering work.

*Wall Cabinet System Options

F -- EMI/RFI filter option* -- Filters are applied to the balanced output.  Where a balanced power system's common mode noise rejection rolls off, EMI/RFI filtering begins. Some equipment power supplies are not very well balanced so some high frequency AC interference differs from typical power harmonics making these balanced multi-stage line filters a fine compliment to a balanced power system.  Sensitive digital electronics in a system may require additional line filtering for best performance.  Switching digital power supply noise is attenuated on the line and kept isolated from outlets that power other sensitive electronics.  These filters reduce line noise -30dB from 100kHz to 2gHz.

OFC -- Oxygen-free copper wiring is used throughout the wall system assembly.  Hand-made oxygen-free copper wiring jumpers and wiring harnesses are used in the assembly process that help to minimize high frequency current distortion.  This method of wiring effectively increases the bandwidth of noise attenuation, especially compared to ordinary copper wire.
* When specifying multiple filters, use suffix -F2, -F3, etc. after model number to indicate the number of filtered circuits
