Best regards,

 

this site is only to correct power factor. correcting power factor don't really save real power. residential doesn't mater . cause residential is not been penalized because of poor power factor. Correcting power factor is important on industrial sector , poor power factor less than 90% means higher bill as a penalty.

this is precisely what i was in reference to when asking about pfc on a residence, nice to see that there is a ready made solution.

 

yes i understand that it is useless if i get my power from the power company, but as an offgrid installation i am the power company, and pfc looks to show some promise.

 

thanks for the link

Hi there,

 

I have looked at the web mentioned above and believe they are using some PFC technology for kVA saving and not kW saving!

 

Here is another one, pls see http://www.neuronmicrosystems.com

 

I believe their energy saving products are more solid but yet to wait for some time to tell.

 

Cheers!

Dear all,

 

Here is another "new" energy saving product, see: http://www.monsterenergy.com.my/

 

When I looked at the so called test report, it seems that it is another capacitor based device playing around with PF, you may see some value with negative wattage, is this saying that the device is generating power back to the electricity supplier?

 

Also you can see that almost PF became worst after the device was working, so can I conclude that this is another PFC device?

 

As for the "Industrial Saver" it seems that these are voltage reduction devices, which use transformers to step down the output voltages to equipments. I doubt if they really work?

 

Please advice.

 

Cheers!

Hi schow

 

Well that report is interesting!! we have lamps that produce light and power !!

There are obviously some serious flaws in the report, or the testing methods, or both.

 

I suspect that the unit is just plain old PF correction and that either the measurements were incorrectly done, or the wrong instrumentation was used.

 

Good for a joke , but unfortunately, there will be some that are taken in by it.

 

Best regards,
