What is power factor?
Simply stated, power factor is the efficiency of real power being used compared to apparent (total) power being supplied. Power Factor is usually expressed as a percentage. Ultimately, this percentage is a measurement of how efficiently Volts and Amps work together to produce work.
How will the Kvar EC save me money?
Reactive energy is stored within the unit itself, which supplies the motor that same reactive energy they need to run. Because the reactive energy is stored in the KVAR unit, there is no longer a need for it to be supplied to you by the electric company.
Now the power is no longer being pushed through your electrical system and wasted within your facility. The power being supplied to your individual pumps and motors is as close to 100% efficient (unity) as possible. This results in a cooler distribution system where heat is no longer being lost in the form of watts, (the unit in which you are billed). |
