[RE-wrenches] Power-Save and Power Works

[Greg Seelhorst]

Wrenches -

With all of this talk about AC Unit power demands with solar, I was
wondering if these Power-Save and Power Works products could help reduce the
loads and surges in question.  Below is a promotional propaganda from
Power-Save claiming large offsets of AC loads by using their products to
offset the reactive loads.  Does anyone have experience with these?  Any
thoughts?

"I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about your product, 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 draw 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." - John Turteltaub, San Diego
