	Given that the transformer can limit power very specifically (with large 100 W increments or small ~~10W~~ increments), you can control or stop the output line from drawing more than the transformer gives out. This can be used to control many items that don't have a changing power usage, such as lights, volume pumps, pipe regulators, active vents, and more. This is similar to the [[Area Power Controller]] but does not have a battery buffer.
