Eaton IS500 – 500W Isolation Transformer Power Conditioner

Product Overview

The Eaton IS500 Isolator Series is a 120V, 500-watt isolation transformer-based power conditioner built to protect sensitive electronics from line noise, EMI/RFI and surge conditions. It provides complete electrical isolation from the input AC line along with continuous noise filtering, making it a fit for industrial, medical, office and network environments where clean, stable power is a requirement rather than a convenience. Facilities managers and system integrators specify isolation transformer power conditioners like the IS500 as an alternative to installing dedicated circuits or making site electrical upgrades. With four widely spaced output receptacles and a rugged all-metal housing, the IS500 installs as a tower or wall-mount unit near the equipment it protects.

Product Description

The IS500 isolation transformer power conditioner uses an internal low-impedance isolation transformer with a Faraday Shield to provide 100% isolation from the input AC line, protecting connected equipment from utility switching transients, background spikes generated by other on-site loads, and utility- or lightning-related surge conditions. Secondary neutral-to-ground bonding eliminates common mode noise, giving sensitive equipment an isolated ground reference without the cost of running a dedicated circuit. Additional surge suppression components at both the line input and transformer output work alongside the full line isolation to deliver continuous filtering across a full range of power line noise. Because the active transformer filtering has no wearable parts, it maintains performance over time even in demanding power environments, reducing 6000V IEEE587 Cat A and B ring wave and combination wave test surges to only 0.5V common mode. The IS500 delivers 500 watts of capacity through four widely spaced output receptacles, paired with a 6-foot power cord, circuit breaker overload protection and a lighted power switch for at-a-glance status. The rugged all-metal housing ships ready for either upright tower placement or wall mounting, making it a practical fit for network closets, server rooms, medical equipment rooms and industrial control areas where floor or wall space is at a premium. System integrators specifying power conditioning for network racks or medical device carts use the IS500 to protect equipment without the expense of dedicated electrical infrastructure.
