When any motor in your home starts, its ‘asks’ the utility’s transformers for power (voltage and amperage) to run. This demand for power runs through your house-wiring, panel box, meter and down the lines to the transformer, causing heat build-up(wasted enegy) and this heat strains the motor and wiring. This heat (I2R losses) is called watts. The KEC, once installed, stores this excess energy, and releases it to the motor, as it is needed to function properly. This reduces heat on the wires and the motor, and when you reduce the heat, which lowers the watts, you lower your electric bill and increase the life of the motors in all your household appliances, there are a lot of them and you reduce the risk of fire. .
The KEC increases your power factor, by reducing the amount of reactive power that the load draws from the utility company. The KEC stores the reactive power needed for the creation of the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) within the inductive load. As the motor operates , this reactive power is “pulled” and “pushed” to and from the KEC by the motor. The amount of reactive power purchased from the utility company by power factor optimization is, therefore, greatly reduced or eliminated.
This technology applied by the KEC reclaims, stores and supplies power to inductive motor and loads. This process provides the reactive power required to establish the EMF around the inductive wiring of a a motor, while reclaiming and recylcing the power during the normal working phase. The power reclaimed and recycled by the KVAR would normally be pushed back through the power distribution lines.
As a result of providing reactive power locally, motors run cooler and more efficiently. This equates to “$$$” savings and longer equipment life.
