It's basically a capacitor bank with electronics to engage it. The people that run very high amperage car audio amplifiers use large capacitors to compensate for high amplifier demands. Motors, like the compressor in the air conditioner use them in the start wiring circuit to offset the high current in rush during start up to correct the power factor.
