Research, development, engineering and design are undertaken in Australia and New Zealand. R & D is an important part of our business.  Our products are generally borne from concept making our Company rare in that the Intellectual Property and expertise is home-grown. We take products from concept through to shelf ready in stores.

Thor Technologies is 100% Australian and very proud of it.

Remember we are local so if you have a problem or there is not a product in our range available to you off the shelf come and talk to us as we may be able to build it for you – it is that simple!

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Thor Technologies has enjoyed market acceptance because of its experienced and talented research and development team. Our R & D team includes a university based Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering specialising in surge protection and incorporating PHD & Doctorate students assuring the cutting edge of innovation is razor sharp.

Success has not been by chance but due to careful planning and market research coupled with the strong desire to lead with cutting edge technology. We believe in continuing to improve and strive for new innovative products. This is an ongoing process and is often borne from valuable feedback received from our customers.

We are happy to offer a “no question asked” power board warranty as we value the information we can obtain from products that have been active in the field. The data obtained from these products help us to keep improving our range.
Our research and development is done in Australia and New Zealand. Keeping to a true ANZAC tradition.

THOR’S PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

PRODIGY SERIES (PATENTED)

The PRODIGY SERIES incorporates THOR’s non sacrificial patented protection circuit. It is a game changer in the Industry as we have not been able to “damage” this unique protection circuit. It has survived over 130 simulated lightning strikes of over 6600V each with absolutely no sign of stress or damage. To put this in perspective a premium surge board may survive one or maybe two hits of the equivalent surge and will be totally destroyed. The circuit can easily be embedded or integrated into existing products that need bullet proof protection.

SMART BRAIN – DYNAMIC ACTIVE TRACKING

Prodigy and Smart Brain Series include the recently, 2023, improved Dynamic Active Tracking filtering circuit. This is an active filter technology. It works similarly to noise cancelling headphone technology except in the mains power. It has the ability to “clean out” unwanted frequencies on both the upward and downward curve of the sine wave (power). Most filters on the market only target frequencies at the crest of the sine wave. Tests have recorded an improvement of over 70% better performance when compared to other brands using the Australian Industry Standard comparison.
