How The KEC works?
When a motor starts, it asks the utilities transformer for power (voltage and amperage) to run. This demand for power runs through the wiring, panel box, meter and down the lines to the transformer and heats up and strains the motor and wiring. This heat (I2R losses) is called watts. The KEC, once installed, stores and releases energy to the motor it needs to function properly. This reduces heat on the wires and the motor. Reducing this heat, will lower your electric bill, increase the life of the motor and reduce the chances of fire. The KEC increases power factor, by reducing the amount of reactive power (KEC) that the load draws from the utility company. KEC’s store the reactive power (KEC) needed for the creation of the EMF within the inductive load. As the motor operates, this reactive power is “pulled” and “pushed” to and from the KEC by the motor. The amount of reactive power purchased from the utility company by power factor optimization has been greatly reduced, or eliminated.
