These were very popular in Kenya where black-outs, drop-outs, brown-outs,
high surges
and spikes were common:

Many fridges, freezers and all household equipment is saved using the
plug-in units. It was typical for the mains to read 400V (240V nom) when
the power returned after a drop out and the little units would just hold off
the load till those passed and a timer dropped back on.

I built a box with an AC relay that locks up through it's own contacts.
Did the same thing, except that the path also goes through a timer relay
that doesn't energize the AC path relay until power has been on for at
least 30 seconds without interruption.
