The Model BP-3.5 Ultra features our massive 20-amp (continuous rating) low noise transformer and was designed for larger audio/video systems with high current demands. Includes 10 Hubbell premium outlets and our C-9 power cord.
The BPT Ultra Isolator Series products all share the following features:
Custom low-noise, low temperature-rise, tight load regulation, high-isolation type toroidal transformers from Plitron Manufacturing
Perfectly balanced** for maximum CMR [Common Mode Rejection]
Four stages of EMI/RFI filtration to ensure ultra-low background noise
Copper foil laminate between primary and secondary windings to reduce capacitive coupling and provide additional filtering--the BP-10.5 also has copper foil laminate between each of the five pairs of secondary windings
On/Off Carling magnetic circuit breaker switch to protect from current overload
Separate EMI/RFI filtering of incoming standard/unbalanced AC and outgoing/balanced AC
Multiple layers of grain oriented steel laminated around the transformer circumference to attenuate stray magnetic fields
Hubbell 5362 premium, top-of-the-line duplex outlet, 20-amp rated, all brass outlets (even the grounding strap is brass)
3-layer chassis dampening
Heavy black powder-coat 1/8"aluminum chassis to reduce unwanted mechanical vibrations that blur imaging and clarity (Stainless steel chassis no longer available).
Surge/spike protection, current overload protection and GFCI [ground-fault circuit interruption] protection
Separate noise filters on each duplex outlet to reduce component interaction
Available in black chassis only. Optional 1/4" machined aluminum faceplate is available in clear-coated silver or black powder-coating..
Polypropylene X-rated [UL listed for across-the-AC-line applications] audiophile-grade filter capacitors for exceptional clarity
Models BP-1, BP-10.5 and BP-3.5 employ LoNo* [ultra low-noise patented technology] Plitron transformers which are arguably the finest power transformers available today

EP-2000-- parallel high current surge suppression and line filtering (neutral sounding with no power insertion loss) available for our CPCs, PPC or any of our Balanced Power Isolators. Extends life of all equipment connected.--$400
The EP-2000 system (a patented design, manufactured for BPT by our friends at Environmental Potentials Inc.) is designed to suppress power line induced voltage surges up to 10,000 volts, which is approximately three times greater than the industry recognized statistical average of such surges entering a facility. It operates upon the principle of selective filtering, time spreading and absorption of voltage waveform anomalies induced onto and riding on a line frequency sinusoidal power wave. At the instant a high voltage transient or surge appears on the line frequency wave, it is clamped at a level just above the peak value of the sinusoid. This clamping action creates an amount of energy determined by the difference in the clamping voltage and the peak voltage of the transient, the impedance of the clamping device within the EP-2000, and the time duration of the transient. A solid state component designed for fail-safe performance. Includes LED for instant visual confirmation that the EP2000 surge/filtration system is fully active. If the EP2000 module should ever fail or loose its full capability for surge suppression, it can easily be replaced.
· Removes, absorbs and dissipates transient voltage surges and spikes, high frequency noise and ring waves
· Frequency Attenuation: -20 dB/decade roll-off starting at 2.5kHz
· MaxSurge current: 25kA per mode
· Provides both common and transverse modes of protection
Machined aluminum faceplate - this 1/4" thick machined, polished and coated panel that perfectly complements our Balanced Power Isolators or CPC $75 [black or silver]. (not available for the PPC)
Copper Foils shield - we line the chassis interior with copper foil to create an all encompassing barrier against RFI penetration. - $75.
Iso-Cones - Custom made 1" machined 316 stainless steel isolation cones with matching protective disc (to protect wood floors or shelving). These can be used as standalone cones for any piece of gear or as a direct screw in replacement footer for our balanced isolators or CPC (matching 1/4" threaded stud included). $75 for a set of four or $60 for a set of three.
