DESCRIPTION
Losses due to Power Quality issues cost companies an estimated $6.7 Billion dollars each year in excess charges on their electric bills. The primary causes are voltage sags, surges, transients, and harmonics. A 2009 study (Alabama Power) states that at least 30% of your maintenance costs are Power Quality related. Furthermore, the EPAct 2005 requires all federal agencies to install meters at all federal buildings by 10/1/2012. Venergy provides Power Quality & Power Management, Power Factor Correction and LED Lighting products and services that minimize energy losses and increase efficiency, analyze electrical energy usage by metering and monitoring, reduce your electrical costs 2-12%, and protects investment in equipment such as motors, A/C units, and pumps.TRANSCRIPT

The Math
Power Factor & VAR Factor
User Tariff ConsiderationsPower Factor:Power factor is a calculation representing the relationship of "real" power (kw) which performs useful work in turning a motor, to "apparent" power (kva) which magnetizes motor and transformer coils. Motor loads frequently adversely affect the power factor of a circuit, usually from oversized or lightly loaded motors. Certain other types of loads can reduce power factor.
A low power factor also reduces the capacity of circuit conductors to deliver "real" power and can increase wiring costs as well as electric demand on the utility system. FPL reserves the right to adjust meter reading kw for billing where power factor is less than 85%.
Capacitors are sometimes connected on the load side of a motor controller to improve the power factor of the circuit. When this is done, the total kvar connected should not exceed the value required to raise the power factor of the motor to unity when it is running unloaded.
