Line8’s Triple Redundancy System (TRS): The Ultimate in Electrical Safety for Power Sockets

When it comes to safe power sockets, Line8 stands out with its advanced Triple Redundancy System (TRS), designed to ensure top-tier electrical safety. The system integrates three key protective mechanisms:

1. Actively Grounded Shielding Technology

Line8 power tracks feature actively grounded conductor strips that flank the openings, creating a barrier that prevents any electrical leakage. This shielding technology absorbs and grounds stray energy, ensuring the power sockets are safe to use even in dynamic environments. This technology acts as a shield, protecting users from any potential electrical hazards.

2. Mechanical Safeguards

Safety is further enhanced by mechanical safeguards that physically separate the conductors from potential contact with foreign objects or fingers, even those of curious children. This ensures electrical safety by preventing accidental touches that could lead to shocks or other electrical hazards. These mechanical features make Line8 power tracks safer than a standard power extension board.

3. Lock-and-Key Socket Design

Each Line8 socket includes a unique lock-and-key mechanism with a push-pull switch, preventing accidental activation of the power supply. The socket's specially machined electrical contacts ensure that only the correct Line8 power socket can engage and close the circuit, adding another layer of safety.

Additionally, the Line8 system ensures that no power flows through the tracks until the socket is securely in place and switched on.

Inspired by Track Lighting

Much like the convenience of track lighting, Line8’s power tracks allow users to add, move, and remove sockets as needed. However, unlike track lighting that is typically out of reach, power tracks are often placed in accessible locations, requiring enhanced safety measures. Line8 incorporates rigorous safety standards to ensure the system is safe for frequent use and accessible to all.

Safety

It is not easy to touch a track light that is typically mounted on ceilings, high up away from children and mischievous hands.

The power track different. It is typically mounted where it is accessible for us to plug in, switch on and off devices and also to children and their wandering hands.

Line8's TRS technology features two actively-grounded conductor strips flanking the openings of the power track. These strips ground everything that comes into contact with the opening of the power track.

Faraday's Cage

Line8 employs Faraday’s Cage Theory, enclosing its power tracks in a grounded shield that neutralizes any electrical leakage. This makes the system not just aesthetically pleasing with its shiny metal strips, but also a robust protector against electrical hazards. 

The two shiny metal strips on the opening of the Line8 track not only highlight and accentuate the design - It is also there to act as the Faraday’s Cage, an electrical shield. This grounded shield will cage up all the components inside the power track which then shields the outside from any electrical leakage.

 

Why Choose Line8 for Safe Power Sockets?

Line8’s commitment to safety, innovation, and compliance with international standards makes it the ideal choice for those seeking a safer, more reliable, durable, and modular alternative to the traditional power extension board. With features like the Triple Redundancy System, actively grounded shielding, and lock-and-key design, Line8 power tracks offer unparalleled electrical safety for both residential and commercial use.
