Is there a solution that captures electricity from the wall outlet, saves it like a battery, supplies power to a PC, monitor, etc., while using the stored energy to smooth out spikes and avoid tripping breakers? Do they produce UPS devices for this purpose?

Several firms combine surge protection and power line conditioning features you're likely seeking. APC (Schnieder Electric) stands out as a trusted provider of consumer and professional electrical gear. https://www.apc.com/ca/en/product-catego...upply-ups/ However, UPS units aren't ideal substitutes for hiring an electrician to verify your home's wiring meets safety standards. If your electrical system can't support the required load, it's wise to consult a licensed electrician before any risks arise.

They don't seem to follow the desired approach, which appears to restrict the input current to the UPS and only supply bursts from the battery when needed. It seems counterintuitive for a UPS, designed to handle higher input than output, to behave this way. Theoretically possible, but unlikely in practice—most likely reserved for specialized industrial setups that would be prohibitively expensive. Additionally, it wouldn't address the real issue, since the load isn't just from those devices but also from other connected equipment pushing against the circuit limits.

Hire an electrician to enhance the circuit in your space to 20 amperes and install an outlet within your area, but link it to another circuit.
