Power-Save 1200 - Power-Save 3400

New demonstration video shows how the residential Power-Save 1200 and commercial / industrial Power-Save 3400 work within their respective applications.

This is a must-see for anyone interested in saving up to 25% per month on monthly electric bills.

If 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 on a similar magic box - 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

Thanks for the info. I uploaded the video for a friend who by the way doesn't sell the unit anymore. I installed a unit in my home over a year ago and as you say i have cleaner power and reduced spikes. I have been using compact fluorescents over 15 years. Fridge 5 years old, changing one split unit air conditioning to a new inverter type, and recently installed an evacuated glass tube solar water heater. Looking at solar panels since we have paid up to 32 cents a kwh.

You should consider a wind turbine much cheaper than solar.

will check it out, however we have lots & lots of sun down here in Puerto Rico. I live towards the center part of the island and in a valley so I don't get so much windspeed, average 7 to 12 kts at best. My solar water heater kicks up the water temp to 150 F even in winter. Another factor is that houses are very close.

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.

RoHS only means the device contains no lead.

UL and SA certify only that it is safe.

NASA tested only that it reduce amps and increase PF.

No one certified it saves you money because it does not.

When is the Power Save OVER NINE THOUSAND coming out?

[txgiorgi]

Good lord there is no short supply of scammers. In all states I am aware of you are billed for total power!

This device can't reduce the total POWER consumption. Please people. Do your homework. Research Power factor in AC systems. 

[valllhalla]

instead of sending the reactive power created by the motor you store it in the cap and sending it back and forth from cap and motor. correct?

[joerond]

well have you noticed any changes on your bill by this time ?? 3 yrs later danos un update pues Yo quiero buscar nuevas options to save energy. DIY solar panels very soon .

[taylortownmayor]

You're one of the first I've seen on here that understands that the UL is only about safety. They don't give a crap about what something actually does, only that it is safe.

This has duped a LOT of people!

@Daytrippster

In case you have not figured it out, you don't get charged for current, you get charged for power. Reducing the current only eliminates a small resistive loss in the wires which is negligible compared to the real power an AC takes. You could achieve the same effect with a capacitor for a lot less cost.

@afdhalatifftan92

KVARs are the reactive or inductive power load. You can think of this as energy that bounces back and forth between the motor and the power company. The power company will not change you for VARs (as a residential customer). KWH is work done over a period of time. KWH is what you pay the power company for and what your meter registers. This product reduces the free VARs, but has negligible effect on the costly KWHs.

[billhunterskeptic]

@Daytrippster

Except they increased the power factor and decreased the current draw. Net gain is zero. No change in real watts was achieved, only reduction in VARs. Power company does not charge for VARs, so no change in the bill. This is a scam.

[Daytrippster]

Great Question!

"Kvar" is not only the designation for wasted power due to the charging and discharging of inductive fields during the work process, but the name of the original company to optimize power factor~ "Kvar Energy savings"~

After optimization,, you use energy more efficiently!

KWH I explained in my last comment~

Thanks for a thoughtful question~
