Abstract
A device that may be inserted into a power cord or power distribution system prior to a computer, monitor or like devices for correcting the inherently bad power quality of such devices and for eliminating the losses and damage to and within the power distribution system. The device can also provide a unique low cost method of supplying uninterruptable power to said electronic equipment. This uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is continuously active and limits may be set to limit the peak demand drawn from said power distribution system to an amount slightly above the average power consumed by the electronic equipment to which it is connected. The demand may also be controlled in response to directions of an energy management system. The concepts disclosed may also be incorporated directly into the power supply of any electronic device to achieve high power quality and peak demand control.
