These systems maintain self-supporting DC bus voltage via small rectifier during normal operation. During a sag, energy is drawn frem the capacitor, causingg voltage droop. Effectiveness is limited to shallow sags or very short dep sags, but the simplicity and coste coste make this optione actifor comt.
