6 capacitors for 13 motors . Check ECA electro comm sorting machines . These are not scams and they do work !!! Depending on how old and inefficient your motors are will save easily up to 20 percent and recoup your cost in no time and then some ! We have saved an avg of 3kw hours from last year. Dont worry the electric company will show you the difference from last years wasted energy !!
Rubbish! These devices are SCAMS and do not work. You can't pervert the laws of physics by saying that an external device can improve the efficiency of an appliance. The name plate of any appliance will tell you how many Watts it takes. Efficiency is measured by work out/work in (or watts) as a %. Physics dictates that energy can neither be created or destroyed. I.e. it takes a certain required amount of energy to do work (energy is work over time) to run an appliance, machine or process.
Wrong. Power-factor correction does not change the current in any of the motors in your appliances, it just reduces the current drawn from the supply.
The effect that the power save has on inductive loads is that by lowering the amperage of the motors in your appliances in your home or business you will reduce the heating of the motors therefore extending the life of your appliances. Can you understand this concept?
The effect of lowering the amperage is reducing the temperature of the motor therefore extending the life of the motor. Can you understand this concept?
It's not just the scam factor with this product that is annoying (and it IS a scam, as the other commenters here have correctly pointed out), it is the deliberate lying that they use to try and hawk this garbage to an unsuspecting Joe Public. This product will not save a red cent of any domestic power bill, and they know it.
There is nothing typical regarding a motor with no mechanical load. We are billed for watts not amps! The utility meters provided for billing are highly accurate devices. These energy meters only measure REAL power, NOT reactive power! As for power factor correction (PFC), this benefits the utility so they provide their own PFC on the primary side of the distribution network.
In UNLOADED motors the watts is going into heat and mechanical work. Reduce amps and you reduce heat loss so in UNLOADED or low load situations you will see a small reduction in watts because you are making less heat. ( Electrical engineers: I refer to the VA, VAR, and Watts triangle - improving power factor reduces VA V is the same so A goes down) In the real world few situations correspond to lightly loaded motors.
f it looks to good to be true it probably is! If you are approached to become a dealer for these my advice is to run away. I met a guy who invested $20K for the right to become a dealer - he's been duped. What is going on here? (Check out my comments with any electrical engineer.) An UNLOADED motor has poor power factor. Improving power factor reduces amps but the motor still needs to do the same work in watts - you get billed for watts not amps. See next comment
These devices may improve power factor but residential users are not billed for power factor! These devices may clean up power - reduce spikes etc. but that does nothing for saving energy. Bottom line: these devices do not offer any savings for the 99% of users. A rigorous side-by-side test in 2 identical homes done at the same time in with the same weather conditions and exact same activities (running appliances lights etc.) with logging kWh meters will prove or disprove their dubious claims.
Yep ... total scam. The capacitor does not reduce Kw/h ... anyone who buys this unit will find out eventually that his bill just stayed the same. Snake oil for $1000.00 ... amazing what people do to take advantage of others ...
I challenge you to perform the same (first) example displaying Watts on both meters instead of Amps. You'll see that with or without the capacitor the Watt remains the same. You pay for power (kilowatt-hour) not amperage. the capacitor will not affect the power used. Factories can save money because they get penalized for poor power factor. One more thing. This demo will be most dramatic with no mechanical work being done the motor which is the case here, but is not realistics in normal appl.

These are used in the US Post office machines

I have seen similar devices in action, do they do actually slow down the metre and bills are reduced although they can vary from home to home.
Cheers!

BEWARE-------NO SAVINGS IN ELECT BILL--------
please show watts used in your tests, you have the equiment to show it.
we should see a drop in watts, after you turn on, the powersaver.
why you only show drop in amps?
if you truly want us to believe that this will save us money on our elect bill.
oh i forgot, you didn't say we would save any money only save amps.

i agree totally, it's only correcting the power factor, which makes the power supplier happy but do not slow down your meter on your house.
no where in the video he says this will lower your elect bill, but average person thinks it will.
