@TehMG I do industrial electrical maintenance...and you are correct...power factor is usually only where you have alot of single phase motors and perhaps a few welders...and in these saituations, the power company often installs capacitors at the power lines on the poles...

[Dostoviesky]

This is just a Capacitor, all that is real, and you just need a Capacitor...

for

resistive load current in phase with voltage =0 degrees, for inductive

load current lags voltage by 90deg & for capacitive load

current leads the voltage by 90deg..

This video is so full of shit I can just about taste it.

This is just a crude PFC device which is not really good anyways.

Even a good PFC device would not save you much money at all, because:

1) I2R losses due to bad PF in a residential setting are negligible

2) residential customers get metered for real power used (W), not apparent power (VA), unlike commercial/industrial customers

My PC's power supply has PFC in it.

no not true.... the device if rated at 7 amps will still pull 7 amps however with the power factor correction at the main in the panel the load there will drop to 3.5 or 4 amps. these devices correct the power factor at the panel where the power is supplied with a power factor correction of lets say 58 to 85 the panel as a whole would draw less fla and a savings would be noticeable

let me give you a little lesson!!! heat is caused by Resistance in the power consumption process not by stored or unused power to generate heat the appliance has to be in operation and consuming power...So you calling someone a moron and then saying heat is caused by unused power really kinda tells off on yourself dont you think..........

[mannexx111]

if you really want to save some money run an extra wire off the primary side of the meter box then hook up a small panel and transfer some of your single pole load to it. the meter wont read it and unless your a electrician with a good eye no one will catch it fuck all the jumpers and stupid fucking with the meter this is the journeyman's electricians way of properly stealing power

[Ultrabluu]

Bought two of these, and when wired in they took almost two amps to operate each, measured before the meter. And amps increased when using power. Power lost not saved. got refund !

Succinctly articulated! These devices are SCAMS
