Power Supplies

I became very interested in buying unique power strips and power conditioners a few years ago. This endeavor started from a mix of the following reasons:

• I find it fascinating that manufacturers can command such high prices for their fancy power conditioners and wanted to see what actually goes on inside some of them
• I noticed that in my audio lab, we usually plug our measurement gear into basic power strips¹
• We had been about half a year into the pandemic and I needed a break from taking apart amplifiers

I would buy these power strips/conditioners/massagers (secondhand, always) and take them apart to see what components are inside. I then purpose them for use in my house, sell them, or give them away.

Furman AC215	Inside
Furman IT-1210 Balanced Isolation Transformer	Outside. Comes with a huge toroidal transformer, EMI filtering, and gas discharge tubes.
Furman PowerPort	Used it briefly as a power-on time delay.
Furman M8x AR	Consists of a large transformer with multiple taps, and a logic board that switches between the taps to compensate for high or low mains voltages. My power does not need regulating, so I'm currently using it as a long power-on delay. Bought at a big discount.
Furman PL-PRO	Bought at a theater tech liquidation sale. This is the older generation with a big LED mains voltage indicator and nice A-series breaker switches, but suffers from transformer hum.
Furman PL-8	Nothing remarkable.
Furman M8x	Quite bare inside.
Wattbox WB250IPW2	Contains two outlets that can be controlled using the OvrC cloud management app or by connecting to its webserver from the local network, over WiFi. The app is great for large distributed systems but a little too clunky for home use. I currently use it for remote control of my espresso machine.
Wattbox WB300IPW3	Contains three individually switchable outlets, but even more cumbersome to use than the WB250IP2 because it can only be connected via Ethernet. Input terminal blocks are exposed on the side of this unit for control using some DC logic.
DLI AC/DC Control Relay	Contains two normally-on outlets and two normally-off outlets. Applying an AC or DC signal (of a pretty wide range) will flip the outlets from their normal state.
APC C2	A cute little filter.
APC AP7901	Bought this for serial control. Comes with a handy current display. A little hard to use because it has a NEMA 20A plug, which requries either a 20A outlet or an adapter and some discernment.
Tripp-Lite Isobar 12	Got a bunch of these from surplus. Two banks of outlets for different levels of EMI filtering. Inside
Linear Magnetics Isolation Transformer	Outside. Bought this to use the enclosure for another project. Contains a massive transformer with ground intact. Also has pozi-driv screws .
Pulizzi Thing?	Outside, Inside. Basically two banks of outlets that can be switched on and off remotely by means of a DC controlled relay. Contains a huge filter that I currently use as a paperweight. I was planning on using this as an enclosure after the isolation transformer was too small.
Pulizzi IPC-3100	Outside, Rear, Inside . Four outlets that have a fixed power-on time delay by default and can be controlled via serial.
SL Waber Wavetracker	Apparently there is a buzzer that goes off when the MOVs lose their efficacy. I'm not looking forward to forgetting about this and having to chase down the buzzer noise. Outside, Inside
