What is KVAR?

The KVAR unit is made with sealed capacitors and safety bleed down circuits included to discharge any residual high voltages and an 'on' indicator.

These capacitors are used to put capacitating loads on AC circuits to correct typical power factors toward a '1.0' power factor from the typical customer's .85 kvar power factor. (.85 is a utility industry accepted typical value) If a you do NOT have such a capacitor, you will always use additional wattage to overcome this .85 power factor. This is wattage you have to pay the utility for, but it does no real work for you. In the typical .85 power factor example it will be 15% of the $ costs shown on your bill.
** If you are in the world of Power Company surcharges for high use, it can exceed the 15% of the $ cost by as much as an additional 25% for a total of 40 % of the bill.
OUCH!! This is what got us started investigating power factor correction, as our Power Plant bills totaled $4,400 with 4 months over $750.

Tired of Paying High Electric Bills?
Would You Like to Pay Less?

NOW you can enjoy lower monthly electric bills by taking advantage of KVAR's patented energy saving, eco-friendly technologies.

Look at some of the benefits you can enjoy:

• 6% - 15% or more off your electric bills
• Reduced CO2 emissions
• Increased appliance, motor, and equipment life
• Surge and spike protection
• 5 Year Warranty / 25 Year Design Life
• All this - plus it typically pays for itself in less than 24 months!!!

What causes this .85 power factor? All inductive devices create a lagging power factor load ( +0.25) because of when wire is wound around a core, current changes will induce a magnetic field, but not all of your power loads are inductive loads, so yours will vary between 1.00 and .75 usually. Pure resistive loads have a power factor of 1.00, so they pull the combined power factors toward the ideal 1.00. However, capacitating loads (like the KVAR unit) create a offsetting power factor load ( -0.25), so they can be used to cancel out equivalent inductive loads.

About The Inventor

KVAR Energy Controller (KEC) Device

Mr. Gregory Taylor started working on this idea in 1976, moving into the 1980's the vision for the company was started, and by 1995 he had invented the KVAR Energy Controller (KEC) Unit and received the patent.
