FAQ
What is the power handling capacity of the Tripp Lite IS250?
The IS250 has a power handling capacity of 250 VA (volt-amperes). This rating indicates the maximum load the unit can support while providing isolation and protection functions. It's suitable for protecting small to medium-sized electronic equipment such as laboratory instruments, medical devices, or audio/video gear that operate within this power range.
How many outlets does this isolation transformer provide?
The Tripp Lite IS250 features two NEMA 5-15R outlets. These are standard North American grounded receptacles that accept three-prong plugs. The dual-outlet configuration allows you to protect two devices simultaneously, making it convenient for equipment pairs or setups where multiple devices need clean power from a single source.
What type of surge protection does the IS250 offer?
This unit provides 680 joules of surge energy rating. Joule rating indicates the total energy the surge protector can absorb over its lifetime. The 680 J rating offers substantial protection against voltage spikes and transient surges that could damage sensitive electronic equipment. Combined with the isolation transformer, this provides comprehensive protection against both surges and electrical noise.
Is the Tripp Lite IS250 TAA compliant?
Yes, the IS250 is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. This compliance makes the unit eligible for purchase on GSA Schedule contracts and other government procurement programs that require products to be manufactured in designated countries. The TAA compliance ensures this isolation transformer meets federal purchasing requirements for government agencies and institutions.
What is the length of the power cord?
The IS250 comes with a 6-foot (1.83 meter) power cord. This length provides adequate reach for most installation scenarios, allowing flexible placement of the unit relative to wall outlets. The cord features a standard NEMA 5-15P plug that connects to typical North American electrical outlets, making installation straightforward without requiring extension cords in most cases.
