What does the KVAR Unit do for me?
There are 2 main things the kvar does for you.
The KVAR Unit (Power Factor Correction Device) is a low-cost, highly effective piece of equipment that reduces the amount of kilowatts required to run your home efficiently, therefore
will substantially lower your power bill. With today’s economic difficulties and specifically the high cost associated with power, it is rare that you can spend such a small amount to have such a great value. The
KVAR unit usually pays for itself in less than 24 months.
The KVAR unit provides additional value by reducing the heat produced from the
motors in your home and protecting your location from damaging power surges. Eliminating these two issues extends the life of
any equipment, that is operated by a motor, inside your home or office. This in
turn lowers your maintenance cost and lengthens the life of your equipment.
How does the KVAR unit lower my power bill?
The KVAR not only will lower your power bill, but it can save you money in many ways.
The KVAR Unit reclaims, stores, and supplies power to all equipment inside your home or business. It enables motors to run cooler and more efficiently. The KVAR also provides surge protection for your entire location. By accomplishing these tasks, it lowers your monthly power bill, reduces your out-of-pocket costs for maintenance and equipment replacement, and prevents the headache of information loss on computers.
Customers using the KVAR generally see their
power bill drop 10 to 25
percent for their home or small business. The KVAR Unit provides these significant savings by
increasing the efficiency of the appliances and equipment you already own by
capturing the wasted energy and
storing it for future
use. This increased efficiency not only reduces the amount of power
needed to operate your electrical motors, but it also increases the life expectancy of
the motors through the reduction of excess power that would normally be
dissipated in the form of heat. Simply put this device reclaims and recycles electrical energy, which provides tremendous monthly savings and other benefits to consumers.
The KVAR Unit fine-tunes the overall electrical system in your home or office. This fine tuning
lowers the heat generated,
reduces amperage and ultimately results in lower consumption of electricity
which turns into a
lower power bill for you. It lowers the
amount of wasted electrical energy while increasing the life of all motor driven equipment in your home or office
(air-conditioners, refrigerators, pool pumps, computers, fans, etc.). Our power
factor correction device protects against power surges and increases the capacity to the electrical panel by eliminating the need for excess power.
This means more money in your pocket. All KVAR products are backed with a comprehensive warranty. The residential product is backed by a full
12 year factory warranty and commercial products include a
5 year factory warranty. The life expectancy of all KVAR products is twenty years.
The KVAR Unit corrects and optimizes what is known in the electrical industry as “power factor”. Simply put, under normal circumstances the motors in your home or business receive more power than needed. The KVAR’s optimization reduces the amount of power that the home or business pulls from the utility company because it stores reactive power needed for the creation of the EMF (electromagnetic field) within the inductive load. As the motor operates, this reactive power is "pulled" and "pushed" to and from the KVAR Unit rather than
being pulled from the utility company and dissipated through heat every time.
Consumers are benefited by:
- lower monthly power bills
- less heat generated in motors and appliances, which increases the productive life cycle of these products
- power surge protection for the whole home or facility
The technology applied by the KVAR Unit reclaims, stores and supplies power to inductive motors and loads. This process provides the reactive power required to establish the electromagnetic field (EMF) around the inductive windings of a motor, while reclaiming and recycling the power during the normal working phase. As a result of providing reactive power locally, motors run cooler and more efficient. The power reclaimed and recycled by the KVAR Unit will be pushed back through the power distribution lines. This equates to substantial savings and longer equipment life.
How does the KVAR Unit impact the environment?
The KVAR has benefits that are great for the environment
The easiest to see is that the KVAR lowers the amount of power you consume, this
results in less power produced which will not only lower the polution caused
from the creation of power but will extend the life of our non-renewable
resources.
The more people that take advantage of the KVAR units, the less demand from our existing power companies. This means that there will be less need for tapping our natural resources and should extend the longevity of our existing production plants. Therefore there is less need to continue building more facilities that have harmful effects on the environment.
