Inductive Motor Optimization

KVAR EC  increases the energy efficiency of an inductive load (AC motor) by locally controlling delivery of the necessary reactive power. As the machine operates, reactive power is pulled and pushed to and from KVAR EC  by the motor. The reactive power is then recycled, leading to improvements in the power factor and a reduction in electrical demand and thus operating costs.

HOW IT WORKS

BENEFITS

FAST INSTALLATION

• Real-time sizing apparatus for each individual load to maximize impact

• Quick panel installation that can be attached to a break in 100, 200, and 400 amp three phase panels 

GUARANTEED SAVINGS

• Reduce monthly electricity bills by 6% to 15%

• Lowering overhead costs by decreasing downtime and increasing motor life

• Reduces demand charge the motor draws 

INCREASED SUSTAINABILITY

ADDED TECHNICAL BENEFITS

• Reduces emissions of harmful gases by decreasing consumption of fossil fuel-based energy

• Reduces noise and vibration of the machinery to improve working conditions

• Reduces carbon footprint of each induction motor 

• Improves voltage regulation due to reduced voltage drop

• Increases motor and appliance life

• Reduces system line losses and improved system capacity
