How KVAR Energy Controllers work?
The KVAR Energy Controller optimizes the Power Factor by reducing the amount of Reactive Power (kVAR) that the load draws from the utility company. KVAR Energy Controllers store the Reactive Power (kVAR) needed for the creation of the electromagnetic field (EMF) within the inductive load. As the motor operates, this reactive power is “pushed” and “pulled” to and from the KVAR unit by the motor. Thus, through power factor optimization, the quantity of reactive power required to be purchased from the utility company is greatly reduced, perhaps even eliminated. Real Power is measured in kilowatts (kW). It does the “work” for the system–providing the motion, light, etc. Reactive Power is measured in kilovolt-amperes-reactive (kVAR). It doesn’t do useful “work.” it simply sustains the electromagnetic field needed for motors Apparent Power is what the utility company charges you. Real Power and Reactive Power together make up Apparent Power. Apparent Power is measured in kilovolt-amperes (k
