Power Save 1200

Some of you may be skeptical as to how much a power factor correction unit like the Power Save 1200 attached to your main circuit breaker panel can help you save on electricity and lower your electric bills. John Turtletaub from San Diego installed the Power Save 1200 power factor conditioning unit, and tested its performance. Below is his account regarding the ability of Power Save 1200 to correct the power factor.

“I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about your product (Power Save 1200), as an electrical engineer friend introduced me to Power-Save a few months ago…

While I was testing the unit, I had my friends present. I tested the product on the load side, and I found no difference in the amperage draw to my A/C unit on the circuit conductors directly from the breaker to it. At first, I was disgruntled. After settling down and thinking about what I had just done, I realized my error and clamped my Fluke meter on the mains directly behind the meter registering current drawn at the line side of the load center….and BINGO!!!!

On start up, the A/C unit went up to 91 amps and leveled out at 13 without the Power-Save 1200 on. When the Power Save unit was engaged it was a draw of 35 amps and leveled out at 8.75. That pretty much blew everyone away! After that, I tested everything with a motor load in my house. I was astonished at the significant reduction in amperage.

I have had, in addition, a lot of customers complaining of bad power spikes, sags, and all kinds of irregularities from their utilities which could benefit from the unit.
