Most electrical devices at homes draw power even when they are not running. This is especially true with televisions, audio receivers and DVD players in a home theater system. Using an ordinary power strip for all these devices will allow this vampire power loss with the user not even knowing about it. I plan on building a power strip which will not only suppress power surges but will actually allow the user to monitor the amount of power being used, even if the devices are turned off. Also, in Auto Power Save Mode, the power strip will automatically turn off idle devices. The objective for this project is to develop an economical power strip that will not only protect against transient voltage surges but also end up paying for itself by reducing a user's electrical bill.
