Simply, not all of the power coming into your home is used by the appliances or motors. There is a waste factor. Through sophisticated but tried and true circuitry, the ES Power Saver filters and adjusts the power flow to a much higher standard of efficiency.
Remember the gas guzzlers of 20 years ago? They used much more fuel to get the same job done as today’s automotive engines. Similarly, the ES Power Saver takes advantage of technology to reduce electric usage, and your bills. Industry has used this process for years, and has been reaping the benefits of the savings in energy usage that the KVAR technology makes possible. No longer just the province of industry and large businesses, the heart of the ES Power Saver has been designed and scaled for home and small office building use, so that you can save too.
How The KVAR PFC Unit works
The KVAR PFC Unit increases power factor, by reducing the amount of reactive power (kVAR) that the load draws from the utility company. KVAR PFC Units store the reactive power (kVAR) needed for the creation of the EMF within the inductive load. As the motor operates, this reactive power is "pulled" and "pushed" to and from the KVAR PFC Unit by the motor. The amount of reactive power purchased from the utility company by power factor optimization has been greatly reduced, or eliminated.
Clients are benefited:
- through lower power bills.
- by less heat generated in motors and appliances, which will increase the productive life cycle of these products.
- with power surge protection for the whole home or facility.
Power Suppliers benefit by being able to supply power to more customers without the generation or acquisition of additional power, and reduces capital expenditures by leveraging the existing infrastructure.
The technology applied by the KVAR PFC Unit reclaims, stores and supplies power to inductive motors and loads. This process provides the reactive power (kVAR) required to establish the electromagnetic field (EMF) around the inductive windings of a motor, while reclaiming and recycling the power during the normal working phase. The power reclaimed and recycled by the KVAR PFC Unit would normally be pushed back through the power distribution lines.
As a result of providing reactive power (kVAR) locally, motors run cooler and more efficient. This equates to substantial savings and longer equipment life.
