Here's How It Works!
Engery Management Systems improve the Power Factor by reducing the amount of reactive power that the load draws from the utility company. This is accomplished by supplying the reactive power locally at the load by the use of specifically designed capacitors. These capacitors store the reactive power needed for stabilizing electric current within an inductive load. Therefore, the amount of reactive power purchased from the power company results in "lower utility costs if the power factor clause is enforced or the utility charges for the kVA demand."
Why Improve The Power Factor?
Energy Management Systems are designed to reduce the kilovolt-amps (kVA or apparent power) on inductive motors in the home or business."The EMS Systems have been scientifically proven to consistently reduce kVAR,kVA and Amp values under constant kW load while improving Power Factor in homes or businesses."
Our Systems are a must for locations using kVA, Smart or Demand Meters. Since utility companies are switching to these types of meters for most homes and businesses, the EMS Systems are an absolute fit for today's energy saving needs.
The U.S. Department of Energy Fact Sheet reports that a low Power Factor is "expensive and inefficient". It also states that you can "improve your Power Factor to reduce your electric bills and to enhance your electrical system's capacity".
Our Systems are specially designed to improve Power Factor in homes and businesses.
