How does a capacitor reduce the consumption of energy on the large electrical motors in my building?
A Micro controller closely monitors the performace factors of a large motor to ensure that it is not overheating or wasting energy. It gives a motor exactly what it needs every millisecond so that it is operating at maximum efficiency. Below are testimonials of test using the Power Planner controller: “I tested a Magnatech 3 Phase 20HP Hydraulic Pump by Rexroth, with a nominal efficieny of 87.5%, 1740 RPM on a 56T frame. The values are quite revealing. A 40 volt drop in Voltage, with no change in PEAK, and a 2 amp drop in current resulted in a saving in WATTS. With the Power Planner engaged, the voltage imbalance decreased and the power factor improved.” “The PPIII reduced power consumption by 18% and reduced inrush current by 0.46 kiloamps, or 63%. Based on a power replacement cost of $0.04 per kilowatt hour, the calculated annual savings are $3,819.36, which equates to a material payback of 5.81 months.” “I have tested a model 05145 Power Planner (460-480V, 250Amp) unit on an Ingerso
