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.
The technology applied by the KEC reclaims, stores and supplies
power to inductive motors and loads. This process provides the reactive
power (KEC) required to establish the electromagnetic field (EMF) around
the inductive windings of a motor, while reclaiming and recycling the
power during the normal working phase. The power reclaimed and recycled by
the KEC would normally be pushed back through the power distribution
lines.
As a result of providing reactive power (KEC) locally, motors run cooler
and more efficient. This equates to"$$$" savings and longer equipment
life.
