Power conditioners are electrical components that are designed to improve the quality of power supplied to computer components by supplying an adequate amount of voltage that is required by the component to function properly. Although there is no single technical definition of a power conditioner, it can often be associated with a voltage regulator, which can improve the quality of power through transient impulse protection, power factor correction or noise suppression. A power conditioner also has the capability to clean and regulate AC power by delivering dynamic power adjustments and removing surges, spikes, sags, noise, and frequency irregularities, which can cause damage or adverse effect on the performance of any equipment load.
