What is a KVAR unit? |
|
|
The KVAR unit is an electromagnetic pollution control
system. It reduces the amount of non-productive current in
your electric system which yields you a significant
reduction in energy costs. The KVAR unit will reduce demand
at the meter by reducing lost and wasted power. It will
reduce maintenance costs while it increases the life
expectancy of all appliances, air conditioners, mixers,
pumps, and other motors connected to the unit.

What is inductive
equipment?
Inductive equipment includes any heat pumps, air
conditioners, refrigeration equipment, irrigation pumps,
pool pumps, and all types of electric motors. When inductive
equipment is connected to an alternating current system, the
current signal divides with some going to actual work and
the rest going to generate a magnetic field. Without the
magnetic field, the motor would not work; however, this
current lags behind the voltage, reducing the power factor
and causing non-productive current.

|
What is non-productive
current?
The non-productive current in any electrical system is the
current which heats up the motor in inductive equipment
while it is in use. The heat generated serves no productive
purpose: it is wasted energy and shortens the life of the
equipment. The best way to recapture this wasted energy is
with the KVAR Energy Controller.

How does the KVAR Energy
Controller work?
The KVAR unit allows the current of the collapsing magnetic
field to be stored temporarily and reused at the start of
the next cycle as the field is reconstructed. Off-the-shelf
options approximate the amount of current that will need to
be stored based on empirical data. The customized sizing
option brings your specific application to unity so that no
energy is wasted, causing your power meter to slow to an
even greater degree. Either way, the local electrical system
is fine tuned to reduce the demand through the electric
utility's kWh meter.

How does the KVAR unit
save me money?
The KVAR unit causes less waste of electrical energy and
reduces the amount of electricity required through the
meter. The unit protects against lightning surges and
increases the capacity to the electrical panel by making it
run cooler. All this means extra money in your pocket.

What is Custom Power
Factor Optimization?
In order to achieve the greatest savings of both money and
electricity, a customized solution is required.
Representatives would visit your business's location and
perform a survey of your equipment. They would require
access to the electrical supply lines to all machinery,
including air conditioners and other roof-mounted equipment,
in order to determine the existing power factor and other
aspects of the power supply. |
|
|
After the survey is complete, you will receive a report
detailing the information discovered in the survey. Based on
estimates of run time and your cost per kWh that you
provide, the report will also contain the amount of
electricity you will save, the cost of the recommended
optimization system, and the calculated return on your
investment. To arrange for a sizing survey or request more
information, use our contact form or send an email to
