Shop portable power conditioners for equipment requiring voltage regulation and improved power quality without a permanent hardwired installation. These units are commonly used with electronic, laboratory, communication and other equipment where a cord-connected conditioning solution is appropriate.
Compare portable power conditioners by input and output voltage, VA capacity, receptacle configuration, regulation range, frequency and physical size. Verify both the continuous equipment load and any temporary startup demand before selecting a unit.
Portable power conditioners provide conditioning functions in a self-contained format that can be connected without permanent electrical wiring. They may be useful with equipment that needs regulated voltage or isolation but does not require battery backup.
Portable designs should not be confused with basic surge strips. A true power conditioner may regulate incoming voltage or provide other conditioning functions in addition to any transient protection included in the product.
A portable power conditioner may regulate or condition incoming voltage but normally does not provide extended battery-backed operation during a complete outage. A UPS includes stored energy to support connected equipment temporarily when normal power is lost.
