Electric motors use more than half of all electricity, and even the most efficient motors need power correction. Most motors used to run AC equipment, Heating equipment, Air handlers, machinery, ceiling fans, draw fans, pool pumps, refrigeration, etc. are not all that efficient.
`KVAR energy controllers` correct the inefficiency of the motor, at the motor or circuit breaker panel, back through the electric meter to the electric company`s transformer. Removing the inefficiency, lowers amps used, and Power Mender stabilizes the volts. The electric company`s meter turns only on the amps used, which have been reduced, producing savings. Motors run cooler, extending life, they run at peak efficiency and have surge protection. This is basic power factor correction.
The Right Product at the Right Time
1. The Problem
Enormous Electric Rates and their continual escalation! Electricity Costs: 1960’s: .019/kwh 1970’s: energy crisis .044/kwh Today: .10+/kwh
25% or more of billable electricity is unusable Electric AC motors use more then half of all electricity 16.73 Billion dollars could be saved if motors and drive systems became efficient. US Dept. of Energy Most AC induction motor operates at only a 80% efficiency under a full load; efficiency drops dramatically at lower loads Motor efficiency and power factor declines below 50% of full load increasing utility power factor charges US Dept. of Energy Research in the early 1970s proved conclusively that substantial savings could be made on the running costs of AC induction motors.

2. The Solution Attempts
Massive changes to new and existing electrical systems still have not solved the main problem Modern structural changes, thermo pane windows, insulated walls and ceilings along with the wrapping of buildings with Tyvek make extremely well insulated homes and businesses HVAC systems have improved their efficiency but are expensive to replace Fluorescent and HID lighting has only slightly decreased kilo watts High efficiency motors are available but not widely used and are extremely expensive
3. No moving parts excellent reliability no service or maintenance required, with a five year warrantee.
