The theory behind this product is to increase electricity efficiency as well as improving the power factor for the appliances that consume electricity. It is not like what some of you may have thought of restricting the current going into lamps and pumps. I've done a test using a light meter and the before and after plugging in the Power Saver is the same.

 

Here is the technical data:

-     Reactive power (kVAR) is used to create electro-magnetic field (EMF) in the inductive loads in your florescent lamps, metal halide lamps, fans and pumps etc.  This power performs no "real" work.

-     Working power (kW) is the power that performs the function of the load.

-    These two components combine to formulate Apparent Power (kVA), the total power which the load consumes. Apparent power is equal to the square root (sqrt) of kW^2 + kVAR^2.

-    Power Factor is the ratio of working power (kW) to apparent power (kVA). In other words looking at all the power that a load consumes, how much of it (percentage wise) is used to perform the real work?

      Obviously, the lower the power factor, the lower the ratio between the apparent power and the working power, the more inefficient the load is.

 

            The Auto Boost Power Saver improves the power factor by reducing the amount of reactive power (kVAR) that the load draws from the utility company. This is accomplished by supplying the reactive power locally at the load by the use of  special capacitors. Capacitors store the reactive power (kVAR) needed for the creation of the EMF within the inductive load. As the motor operates, this reactive power is "pulled"  and "pushed" to and from the capacitors by the motor. In simpler terms, it can said that inductive receivers (motors, etc) consume reactive energy, while capacitor (capacitive receivers) produce reactive energy. Therefore the amount of reactive power purchased from the utility company by a power factor optimization has been greatly reduced, or eliminated.

In additional, the Auto Boost Power Saver also has the following features:

     - Stablize the supply voltage from the utility company and protect your valuable equipment and home appliances

     - Reduce electricity overheating in equipment and household wiring

     - Surge protection up to 400 VAC

    -  Reduce electricity waveform distortion and improve harmonic to prolong the life of your equipment

    -  One Power Saver plugged into any wall outlet will work for the whole household up to 15KVA.
