Patent number: 5105327Abstract: A power conditioner for AC power lines has a choke and capacitor coupled in series across the power lines. The choke comprises a coil terminating in a line, with the line looped back through the coil. The power lines are thereby balanced to provide greater operating efficiency. Capacitors and transient suppressors (e.g., varistors) are used for transient suppression and power factor correction.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1990Date of Patent: April 14, 1992Assignee: USES, Inc.Inventor: E.
