How can I reduce the power factor surcharge penalty?
Most utility companies charge large commercial and industrial customers an additional fee, (up to 25% more), when their power factor is less than 85% (0.85). Companies can now avoid this additional fee by determining to an exact science how much capacitance is needed to optimize each motor to unity. Electricians using the KVAR patented apparatus and methodology are trained to properly size the inductive loads and install the EC™ systems at each motor. This proven method also eliminates the primary power factor penalty charge as well optimizing each motor to obtain maximum savings and utilization of the electricity purchased. No primary power factor correction capacitors or capacitor buildings are therefore needed.
