Hello. I live in an off grid home which is powered by batteries, solar panels, and a generator. I was told I should get a line conditioner to protect my iMac. I don't want to get a UPS. I'm not worried about blackouts, only brown outs. Many times during the day when a powerful appliance is turned on or when the generator turns on the lights dim and all the clocks are reset. My computer never shuts down during this but I know it's not good for it. Would a line conditioner protect it from this kind of thing?
I was looking at this:

Tripp Lite LC1200 Line Conditioner 1200W AVR Surge 120V 10A 60Hz 4 Outlet 7-Feet Cord
If I got this line conditioner would it be safe for my iMac and actually protect it from the brown outs?
It's confusing trying to learn about this stuff. I always read how everyone should have a UPS, but I rarely see anything about line conditioners.
Thank you
Edit: my Mac is a late 2013 27". I couldn't change the thread title.
