Abstract
A circuit for correcting perturbations in a power system signal operating at a system line frequency includes a capacitor for drawing a capacitive current and a first inductor for drawing an inductive current substantially equal in amplitude and substantially one hundred eighty degrees out of phase with the capacitive current. The first inductor is connected in parallel with the capacitor to form a storage module for storing energy therein wherein the storage module is tuned to resonate at the system line frequency and wherein the storage module is connected in parallel across the load. A second inductor connected in series between a power source and the load isolates the power source from the load while a second capacitor in series with the second inductor, which together are tuned to resonate at the system line frequency, prevents voltage drop across the second inductor with linear loads.
