A device to help you save money on your electric bills, protect your valuable electronics and appliances from damaging surges and spikes, and is backed by a $25,000 equipment replacement gaurantee
@bakkoi You are absolutely correct, we as residential consumers do not pay for power factor losses. That is why comments are disabled for most of these videos that try to interest us in these useless devices. The problem with electrical rates if anyone has noticed is that they have skyrocketed from the time we started using energy efficient cfl bulbs enmass. In other words the power companies are going to get their profits one way or another even if they have to raise rates.
If you are not paying for bad power factor (of which I know of no utility charging residential customers) then this has no scientific basis. Power factor correction capacitors are invaluable for industrial customers, who do pay for low power factor.
I opened one of these units up and you have a couple of $9.00 capacitors 75 mf, a $5.00 pilot light and $15.00 in misc. wire, flex and a box. If people want to pay over $200.00 for this, Please, be my guest. They will stimulate someones economics.
If my house meter was an ammeter I would order the utility to serve my house with 480 volt service (transform it) and cut my bill in half right ....WRONG. WATTS is the unit of measure and watts are constant, a 1000 watt load at 480 volt is 2.08 amps at 240 volt it is 4.16 amps, the utilities aren't going to get paid half for a 480 volt service they measure watts and these devices can't change watts, only improve power factor, which has no effect on residential billing.
