Tackling Electrical Noise in Your Vehicle or Vessel
Imagine cruising in your RV, boat, or off-road vehicle, only to have your radio crackle with static, your GPS glitch out, or your video screens fill with unsightly hash marks. This frustrating interference often stems from alternators, ignition systems, motors, and other onboard electronics generating electrical “noise” that travels through power lines. The Newmar PC-10 Power Conditioner steps in as a reliable shield, filtering out this disruption to keep your sensitive gear performing crystal clear.
Unlike basic surge protectors, the PC-10 targets conducted line noise across a broad spectrum—from audio frequencies up to 200 MHz—ensuring radios, stereos, navigation systems, and displays operate without distortion. Whether you’re dealing with popping sounds in your speakers or garbled signals on marine charts, this compact unit restores reliability to your electrical system.
Robust Build for Demanding Environments
Crafted from heavy-duty aluminum, the PC-10 withstands the vibrations and harsh conditions of mobile applications. It thrives on 6-48 VDC systems, making it versatile for everything from 12V automotive setups to 24V or 48V marine and industrial power plants. Integral mounting flanges allow for secure, permanent installation in tight spaces, while color-coded wire leads simplify wiring into positive and negative power lines near your equipment.
Wide noise suppression: Handles audio-range interference through high-frequency RFI up to 200 MHz.
10-amp capacity: Perfect for powering multiple devices without overload.
Brass connectors available on similar models: Accommodate heavy cables where needed.
Lightweight design: At just 1 lb (0.5 kg), it won’t add unnecessary bulk.

Note: Compare to higher-capacity siblings like the PC-25 (25A) or 150A alternator model for heavier-duty needs.
Simple Installation for Real-World Results
Getting the PC-10 up and running is straightforward—no specialized tools required. Cut into your positive and negative DC power lines as close as possible to the noisy equipment, connect the color-coded leads, and mount using the built-in flanges. Users report immediate improvements: clearer FM reception on long hauls, stable VHF communications at sea, and glitch-free dash cams during bumpy trails. For best results, combine with proper grounding and keep leads twisted together to minimize radiated noise pickup.
Pro tip: In multi-device setups like RV entertainment centers, daisy-chain multiple PC-10 units for comprehensive coverage without compromising power flow.
Perfect for RV, Marine, and Mobile Adventures
Recreational vehicle owners love how the PC-10 eliminates alternator whine from inverters or generators, preserving audio bliss during road trips. Boaters rely on it for pristine sonar and radar feeds, free from engine-induced artifacts. Off-road enthusiasts and emergency vehicles benefit too, ensuring comms and cameras stay operational amid rugged abuse. Its broad voltage range and compact footprint make it a go-to for any 6-48VDC mobile power challenge.
