The Power Saver

| February 21, 2009 | 1 Comment

Wouldn’t everybody like to save power and reduce their electricity bills? That, too, without any particular reduction in the usage of normal electrical gadgets in the house. There are many power savers available in the market. They are easy to use – you simply plug one in a socket and voila – your power bills magically reduce.

How do they work? Power Savers are synchronous condensers. Most motor loads in our house are inductive loads. The power factor of inductive loads of appliances like air conditioners, fans, mixers, refrigerators is lagging and synchronous condensers supply a reactive power factor that help nullify the effect and thereby reduce electricity consumption. However, these condensers won’t work with resistive loads of appliances like heaters, geysers, irons, bulbs etc.

Basically the power saver works stabilizing the voltage that the appliances use and thus saves between 10 and 20 percent energy costs (though some claim even as much as 40% reduction). This way even power consumption gets reduced and it becomes an environmentally friendly product. Most of these products come with a money back guarantee and hence, if you find there is no reduction in your bills, you can return them.
