Abstract:
A power pod controller system, which comprises:I.) connection means for connecting said system in parallel electrical connection with an incoming power supply to a facility; II.) an electricity power controller device, which includes: (b) a first stage component, including identifying means to recognize electromagnetic interference, and means to respond thereto by suppressing line transient voltage surges, said first stage component also including at least one line transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS); (c) a second stage component, including at least one variable inductor to regulate the total harmonics distortion (TED) and thus enhance power factor correction; and, (d) a third stage component, including means to provide power to maintain phase regulation to incoming power, thus, to maintain true phase relationship between voltage and current at times of increased power demands, said third stage component including at least one power storage and discharge means; and, III.) a failure indicator circuit connected to said electricity controller pod device TVSS, including at least one relay, one voltage-surge responsive switch and one indicator signalling component.
