ABSTRACT:
A power lag compensation device is provided including a housing. A socket assembly is situated within the interior space of the housing for releasably receiving a plug connected to an appliance for being in electrical communication therewith. A plug assembly is mounted on the housing and extended therefrom exterior of the housing. The plug assembly includes a pair of spaced parallel rectangular prongs. The rectangular prongs each have an associated interconnect wire connected to a corresponding socket of the socket assembly. The plug assembly serves to releasably insert within a socket which is connected to an alternating current power source. A triggering mechanism is connected in communication with one of the interconnect wires within the housing. The triggering mechanism is adapted for producing an activation signal upon the detection of a current flow therethrough. A triac is connected between the interconnect wires within the housing with the triac having a gate connected to the triggering mechanism for allowing communication between the interconnect wires only during the receipt of the activation signal. Finally, a capacitor is connected between the interconnect wires in series with the triac means for providing a predetermined amount of power lag compensation when the triac means is in receipt of the activation signal.
