EMAX Line Conditioner Size Selection Guide
Depending on your application and load requirements, the size of your line conditioner will differ. At General Transformer, we offer EMAX DEFENDER line conditioners to meet your power requirements while still providing high efficiency. We offer data sheets and installation manuals on our 600 VA, 1200 VA, and 2400 VA EMAX Line Conditioners to help determine which model best suits your requirements. Each of our EMAX Line Conditioners is designed around an innovative dual magnetic topology that facilitates outstanding transient rejection coupled with optimum regulation, so you can be sure that your power requirements are met once the appropriate size is selected. Our line conditioner selection guides also provide detailed visuals relating input (line) voltage to load (in watts).
If you are having trouble finding the right line conditioner for your application, contact us today and let us find a solution to meet your needs.

How to Pick the Right EMAX Line Conditioner Size
Selecting the right line conditioner for your load(s) is simple: Match the nominal input (line) voltage to your power source, and match the output voltage to your load requirements. Then, choose the EMAX DEFENDER rated at or above the total power requirements of your loads. Suppose, for example, that a nominal 120 volt load consumes 500 watts, and requires a minimum input voltage of 114 volts. The datasheet for the model rated at 600 watts shows that we can stay within regulation with an input as low as 97 volts.
If your equipment is rated in amps, multiply the amp ratings by the operating voltage to find the correct wattage. It is imperative that the wattage of the connected equipment doesn’t exceed the rated wattage of your line conditioner.
Accommodating for More Challenging Line Conditioner Requirements
Rarely, a load may require tighter regulation or exceptionally low line voltages need to be accommodated. Derating (running a higher rated model at a lower percent of full load) is the solution, providing tighter regulation, an extended input range, or both.
Line Conditioner Considerations
Data sheets for every EMAX DEFENDER Line Conditioner model are listed below. Simply use the charts to determine which model best suits your requirements. Considerations to be made include:
- Load
- Output Voltage
- Input Voltage
Output voltage at full rated load will remain within ANSI “Range A,” even with input voltage as low as 82% of nominal. This is adequate for almost all load requirements.
EMAX Line Conditioner Regulation Graphs
Line Conditioner 600 Watt Regulation Graph
The datasheet for the model rated at 600 watts shows that we can stay within regulation with an input as low as 97 volts.
- Rated Load: 600 watts
- Nominal Input Voltage: 120 volts
- Nominal Output Voltage: 120 volts
Line Conditioner 1200 Watt Regulation Graph
By using the next larger model (1200 watts rating), our load requirements are satisfied with an input as low as 77 volts.
- Rated Load: 1200 watts
- Nominal Input Voltage: 120 volts
- Nominal Output Voltage: 120 Volts
Line Conditioner 2400 Watt Regulation Graph
This is a split-phase output model capable of powering 120 volt and 240 volt loads simultaneously. All data is presented for 240 volt loads and/or multiple, balanced, 120 volt loads. Any combination of 120 volt and 240 volt loads, including a single 120 volt load, is permissible up to full rated power.
- Rated Load: 2400 watts
- Nominal Input Voltage: 240 volts
- Nominal Output Voltage: 120/240 volts
