KVAR EC
Works
KVAR EC refers to the KVAR ENERGY CONTROLLER. Definition of Kvar.
KVAR EC is an electromagnetic control system that reduces the amount of non-productive current in your existing electrical system. It helps to significantly reduce electrical costs and pollution from energy generated by the utility 
companies.
KVAR EC will reduce demand at the meter by reducing lost and wasted power, plus it will reduce maintenance costs and increase equipment life by reducing heat around the motor and wiring caused by reactive current.
KVAR ECs are a capacitor and resistor assembly, installed in Parallel to inductive loads. Capacitors are used in Utility Companies for Power Factor Correction. They are UL Listed, manufactured and installed according to Article 460 of the National Electrical Code.
- KVAR has Patented an apparatus and methodology for determining, to an exact science, the amount of capacitance needed to optimized inductive motors to unity for maximum savings.
- KVAR EC “fine tunes” the electrical system from the inductive equipment back through the utility company’s KVA electric meter, kilowatt-hour meter (kWh) or demand meter. This “fine tuning” slows down the operation and therefore reduces electrical consumption.
- The KVAR EC stores the reactive power to create the electromagnetic field (EMF) around the inductive windings of a motor.
How KVAR Works
As motors operate, the reactive power is “push-pulled” to and from the KVAR EC by the motor at 60 cycles per second. The KVAR EC stores and releases what the motors need to function more efficiently.
This unique approach serves to reduce the heat generated on the lines and reduces the strain placed on all the electrical components.
Electricity that would normally be pushed back through the power distribution lines is reclaimed and recycled by the KVAR EC.
The KVAR EC reclaims, stores, recycles and supplies power to all inductive loads.
Installation is quick and the savings immediate
Installation is quick and the savings immediate
KVAR EC panel mounted system is installed at the top breaker on a 100, 200 or 400 amp single or three phase service panel. By installing KVAR EC in this location, you are optimizing energy savings from both bus bars in your panel. KVAR EC panel system can be installed outdoors or indoors, at the main breaker panel or a sub-panel.
For larger three phase motors, the preferred location of KVAR EC is at the motors’ disconnect, which are installed after trained electricians have performed as individual sizing of the respective motors. This creates the largest savings and quickest ROI (Return On Investment).
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS SHOULD PERFORM ALL WORK.
