ABSTRACT:
A harmonic distortion attenuator in an AC power supply for reducing electrical energy consumption through the suppression of transient voltages in power supply lines or the like connected to the circuitry wherein a threshold voltage clamp, responsive to a transient, closes an electrical path between the power supply lines. A triac or current responsive device is provided in parallel with the threshold voltage clamp to shunt the current flow from the clamp when the current through the clamp rises above a predetermined limit.
