One item to adjust power - to decrease electric bills - was a synchronous motor that ran constantly and powered nothing. I doubt anyone has a large spinning electric motor constantly running and mounted to the basement floor. What is a power leveler? |

Second, the URL has many Monster Cable products. Monster Cable is a benchmark for scams. For example, Monster sells speaker wire with polarity. One end must connect to the speakers. Other end must connect to the amp. Some therefore believe they can hear inferior sound if wire is reversed - scams are that easy to promote. A $6 speaker wire is sold by Monster for $70. If Monster Cable is selling it, those products are scams. Meanwhile, nothing in that list is called a power leveler. What is a power leveler? I have never heard of one. |

I can only deduce that power levelers do not, in fact, exist.

Rich seems to have left the thread, or maybe he doesn't realize the question is for him to answer.
I'll bet he means this: http://www.hardwareandtools.com/invt/1812916 |

It's actually a power conditioner. It does appear to have worked in that we are no longer experiencing short bursts from our wired smoke alarms in the middle of the night.
It doesn't appear to have saved the power supply, but none of the other equipment appears to have been affected.
