Mistaken Identity - just the facts...

It is common to confuse Harmonic Filter with other energy saving devices. Fact is no other technology like our Harmonic Filter is on the market. A True, Harmonic Filter is unique, patented technology that uses fundamental electromagnetic principals to reduce energy consumption economically.

Commonly confused and grouped with Harmonic Filters are "hot side" devices,which  are capacitor devices. Capacitor based "hot side" devices store large electrical surges and deliver them during load-use to save energy.Their primary application has been in manufacturing with large inductive loads, explained later. This technology has been available for many years though most applications still require  tuning maintenance.

Our Harmonic Filter is not a "hot side" capacitor device and requires  no maintenance.

The Problem -how long has this been going on...

Technological advances over the past thirty years have changed  the consumer  load profile from inductive to predominately rectified capacitive loads today; More equipment and appliances are electronic and more consumers use them. Energy efficiency has garnered  new attention due to rising costs and expanding carbon foot print (C02 emissions).  The world is competing for resources and lighting up. The new load profile exacerbates non-efficient use of electricity. Electrical current out of phase and polarity, referred  to as "noise" or "harmonic distortion" is an undesirable by-product of the electrical grid and new load profile.Today's electronic and electrical equipment by design seek power in proper  phase and polarity and draw on the electrical system continuously to meet this function.

We are an inductive based technology, a variable inductor to be exact, this has never existed before. A simple definition of an ordinary inductor is here.

An inductor (also choke, coil or reactor) is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores energy in its magnetic field. For comparison, a capacitor stores energy in an electric field, and a resistor does not store energy but rather dissipates energy as heat.
 
Inductors are one of the basic components used in electronics where current and voltage change with time, due to the ability of inductors to delay and reshape alternating currents.

Our Harmonic Filter is not a capacitor based power factor correction device.

Our approach and success to reducing power consumption is very different from what has existed in the past.

Reduces daily KWH consumption by inductively capturing noise on the neutral line. Savings varies with the electrical profile of the load.
Our Harmonic Filter Does NOT claim to impact Power Factor or Total Harmonic Distortion. It works in conjunction with capacitors found in existing electrical equipment.


Here is a document from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) explaining why these power factor correction products have limited effectiveness.

This article is from a electrical engineering information web page that goes into greater detail as to why capacitor based, power factor correction devices do not work.
