How to Save Money on Your Energy Bill with the IER Energy Saver

[scammy3]

Thanks for all of the comments. This video was created two years ago and was based on information provided by the Manufacturer. Although I agree with many of the comments, from a theory standpoint, I still have more than 80% of the installations working effectively in both residential and commercial applications. This leads me to believe that the theory of electricity is in question with the practice or the power companies meters are not what they claim to be.

Looks like you're just storing energy in the battery.....

Let me put this to perspective for those who lack knowledge of electrical engineering. Every AC device takes some power, utilizes a part of it and then returns the remaining back to the system. The power ts utilizes is active power and what it returns is reactive power. Power companies DON'T charge for reactive power for utility scale consumers but will charge large industries (because the wires and instrument has to carry all power whether u use it or not). So device is useless for consumers

As a practical matter, the reason the motor has such a poor power factor (somewhere near 1.5/5.6 or 27%) is because it is running unloaded. If the motor were fully loaded, the power factor would be closer to unity and you would not be able to effect as a dramatic a difference with a parallel capacitor. This is the oldest power scam going; where's your watt meter???

2) Improperly sized capacitors, too large, can cause self excitation in the electric motor and burn it.

i dont understand i thought this was talking about electronics

[boygatz123]

how you calculate the motor hp? your motor is only 1/3hp can i know how much voltage you are using?

bitsldt... if power in watts will be affected this energy saver is USELESS

It is illegal for utilities to charge for reactive power. He states that you are paying for 5.7 amps., that is false, unless you are a corporate user. For a home owner, you are paying for the power you use, not the current. This is power factor correction, it saves the power company money. All you save is a small amount from the panel to the meter. To do power factor correction correctly, it must be done at the load and not the panel. I would like to see the same demo with a watt meter.

bitsltd...

1. please take note that current is directly proportional to power, i think its not totally incorrect, only to simplify for the layman

2. as the current increases the disk rotation in the meter also increases, so less current less rotation and less meter reading

3. is KWHR meter so special? That only watts can be measured accurately from the "apparent" "reactive" and "real" power from the motor load?

4. There is no effect in watts ONLY the TOTAL current ( vector sum )

@bitsltd - I would also like to see this on a house that is running a central A/C unit in the summer (rather than a free-wheeling motor).

[scammy3]

you are correct in that the demo is an extreme example. This is why our savings estimates are lower than what the demo shows. Where are you located and I can help to have you review an installation.

Utilities charge for real power plus reactive power, which is kVA, which is volts times amps, so in effect homeowners pay for the amps. Power factor is the ration of kWatts divided by kVA. kVA is the hypotenuse of the right triangle with reactive power on the y axis and real kWatts on the x axis.

If you reduce the kVar to zero, the kVA = kWatts and you pay less. This is power factor correction. I have heard of factories not having to pay for reactive power. Don't know if its tru

Although I thought it was illegal for utilities to charge you money for reactive power.

I learned about this in my Electrical Engineering Power course this past semester. It's good to see that this stuff actually works!!

Sorry, I didnt realize that there were comments in here that I could respond to.

I've seen the before and after electric bills. This is the only UL listed and Nasa tested product out there and they offer a money back guarantee.
