When discussions come up about "saving electricity", it usually focuses on Solar Panels and Wind Turbines.  They are costly, and the Return on Investment is measured in years.

Power Factor Correction saves money & energy, and is economical.  Our units installed in homes have an ROI of about 2 years in the "Northern States", quicker in the South.  (Big savings on running Air Conditioning units gives warmer climates a quicker pay-back.)

"Consumers with poor Power Factor waste electricity and incur additional costs – often without knowing it."  In a White Paper, “Active Energy Efficiency",  (Schneider Electric White Paper) sites that, “Power factor relates to the electricity used in simply energizing the internal coils of a piece of equipment. The charges for this ‘useless’ or wasted energy can be hard to identify. The remedy is very simple use capacitors to store power."  Read more.

But the biggest "bang for the buck" comes with installing Kvar Custom-Sized units to individual motors.  These units have a "payback" measured in months.

Can Motor Manufacturers design products with High Power Factor?

KVAR NATIONAL has had the privilege of working with exceptional business owners and facilities managers, interested in saving energy and improving their “bottom line”.  One of our business owners is a Cold Storage facility.

As a “pilot” to prove effectiveness, the owner had a KVAR energy recycler “custom-sized” to one of two of his 350 hp compressors – a motor that runs 24/7.

The electric bill in the first month showed a reduction of over 500 kW per day – significant energy savings. Results from utility bills from Q1, 2010 over Q1, 2009 reveal a startling savings of $12,960 based on the same period from the prior year.
