Save money on your electric bill with the Smart Power Saver 200.

We all know that electricity costs are at an all time high and global reports project current electricity rates to double over the next 5 years. With power plant demand stretched to the limit, plant induced electrical surges are on the rise. Expensive computers, office equipment, flat screen TVs and appliances are left defenceless to power plant, lightning, electrical storm surges, and transients. The Smart Power saver provides relief and protection to business owners and homeowners by containing increasing utility costs, eliminating power factor penalties and totally preventing expensive equipment losses.

The Smart Power uses Advanced Reactive Capacitance technologies to provide effective power factor correction to your home or small business. This unit is designed to eliminate or substantially reduce power factor penalties.

 

The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit, and is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1. Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time. Apparent power is the product of the current and voltage of the circuit. Due to energy stored in the load and returned to the source, or due to a non-linear load that distorts the wave shape of the current drawn from the source, the apparent power will be greater than the real power.

In an electric power system, a load with a low power factor draws more current than a load with a high power factor for the same amount of useful power transferred. The higher currents increase the energy lost in the distribution system, and require larger wires and other equipment. Because of the costs of larger equipment and wasted energy, electrical utilities will usually charge a higher cost to industrial or commercial customers where there is a low power factor.
