Comprehensive Power Conditioning for Your Home
or Small Business
Energy Savings
Managing
your power factor reduces
power consumption. Average electricity consumers waste up to 23% of
their electricity. PowerwoRx e3 conserves
this lost energy and saves you money. Please see the Department of
Energy explanation of power factor below.
Equipment Protection
Protects
your other expensive electronic equipment and appliances from voltage
spikes. Installed at you main electrical box, the PowerwoRx e3
offers complete surge and voltage spike protection and removes the need for
separate surge protectors throughout your office or home.
Electrical Noise Filtration
Provides
harmonic filtration of electronic noise. Electrical devices generate
"noise". This electronic noise breaks down the switching units of the very
devices creating the noise and shortens their life. Flat panel video
displays are particularly susceptible to this "noise".
Depending upon your energy use, it pays for itself in 2 to 3 years!!
POWER FACTOR -
Why it should be important to you.
Managing your power factor
will save energy and save you money. This is a fact. It
is basic physics. This is true for every electricity user large or
small. How much you save is dependent on how much power you use
and how much you have already managed your power factor
(With florescent bulbs and with "Energy Star" appliances for example).
This is not new technology, but rather a new application of patented
existing technology for the residential user.
The Department of Energy explains the concept below.
What is Power Factor?
(From a US Department of Energy Fact Sheet)
To understand power factor, visualize a horse pulling a railroad car
down a railroad track. Because the railroad ties are uneven, the horse
must pull the car from the side of the track. The horse is pulling the
railroad car at an angle to the direction of the car’s travel. The power
required to move the car down the track is the working (real)
power. The effort of the horse is the total (apparent) power.
Because of the angle of the horse’s pull, not all of the horse’s effort
is used to move the car down the track. The car will not move sideways;
therefore, the sideways pull of the horse is wasted effort or nonworking
(reactive) power.
The angle of the horse’s pull is related to power factor, which is
defined as the ratio of real (working) power to apparent (total) power.
If the horse is led closer to the center of the track, the angle of side
pull decreases and the real power approaches the value of the apparent
power. Therefore, the ratio of real power to apparent power (the power
factor) approaches 1. As the power factor approaches 1, the reactive
(nonworking) power approaches 0.

Energy Fact Sheet on the subject.
If you are an average residential consumer, your present Power
Factor ratio is somewhere between 0.75 and 0.85. The PowerwoRx e3
helps you achieve a ratio approaching 0.99 or better. Even if you
have all Energy Star appliances and energy saving florescent bulbs, you
may still be wasting up to 15% of the electricity you pay for.
What adds to your reactive power? Refrigerators, washers,
dryers, dishwashers, furnace blowers, air conditioners, spas or hot
tubs, power tools or compressors - some or all these are found in every
home. With cheap abundant energy no one except very large
industrial users of electricity paid any attention to a 10 to 25% loss,
but times have changed. Energy is no longer cheap and the total
cost of energy extends beyond our pocketbook to effect the very health
of our planet.
We are proud to bring you the PowerwoRx e3. This exciting
technology makes a difference. Please contact us for more
