1. An AC power load controlling device comprising:
a processor; a pair of power feed lines connected to a load; a sensor adapted to measure complex load voltage and current of the load and communicate a value representative of the complex load voltage and current to the processor; the sensor comprising an opto-coupler, resistor and at least one triac adapted to shunt a controlled amount of current from the power feed line through the opto-coupler; the sensor also including a thermistor that senses temperature of the triac adapted to feed temperature information to the processor; a controller receiving a signal from the processor related to the complex load voltage and current; a switch in communication with the controller adapted to electrically connect and disconnect reactive load control elements to and from the connected load upon receiving a signal from the controller thereby correcting load imbalance and harmonic distortion.
