Overview

All electricity is subject to surges from time to time, which result in spikes or parasitic peaks that can be damaging to your household equipment and appliances. These spikes simply consume electricity, resulting in overheating, which shortens the life of your appliances and wiring. In extreme cases electrical spikes can cause burns, blow outs and power cuts. The XPower Energy Saver utilizes this energy, and so cuts electricity bills by up to 25%.

Features

• Stabilizes the supply voltage
• Saves money each month
• Reduces up to 25% of electricity consumption
• Improve power factor of electrical appliances
• Surge and brown-out protection
• Reduces electricity waste
• Reduce waveform distortion and improve harmonies
• One unit will work for the whole house circuit
• Easy to use, maintenance free, no wiring required
• ETL listed and safe
• 60 day/6 month money back guarantee and 1 year limited warranty

How It Works

The XPower Energy Saver improves the power factor by reducing the amount of reactive power that the load draws from the utility company. This is accomplished by supplying the reactive power locally at the load, by the use of specially designed capacitors. These advanced capacitors store the reactive power needed for the creation of the EMF within the inductive load.

In simpler terms, it is said that inductive receivers (motors, transformers, etc.) consume reactive energy, while capacitive receivers produce reactive energy. Therefore the amount of reactive power purchased from the utility company by a power factor optimization has been greatly reduced, or eliminated. Field testing for most homes have consistently shown that one unit of the X-Power Energy Saver will save 3 to 7 kilowatt hours per day, based on electrical consumption of 30 kilowatt hours per day.

Proven Results

Field testing for a typical home consistently show that the XPower Energy Saver will save 3 to 7 kw per day, based on electrical consumption of 30 kw per day. The amount of savings depends on a few factors, such as the types of electrical appliances, the time they are in use and the location. Where voltage supply is particularly unstable, the XPower Energy Saver can reduce consumption by as much as 25% or more. Simply plug it into any wall outlet and let it go to work. XPower Energy Saver has been professionally tested and checked for compliance with ETL safety standards.

Is XPower Energy Saver Legal/Legit?

Saving energy is actually a government policy. The XPower Energy Saver is simple to use and there are no complicated instructions or installation. For optimal savings, each household may order up to three units, one for each phase of the home.

[ What is "each phase" of the home? What does this mean? Circuit? Breaker box? ]

The XPower Energy Saver comes with a full 1 year limited warranty. If after comparing your energy bill for as many as 5 months and you’re not completely satisfied, you send XPower Energy Saver back within 6 months for a money back guarantee less shipping and a small restocking fee.

Skeptics

Can use more energy than saves on home applications

Most modern home appliances that have inductive loads, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, come with power factor conditioning built in. Therefore, purchasing a power factor correction unit for a home is not really indicated. In fact, because the unit draws continuous power, even when no power is being called from the home, the unit can end up resulting in more power used, not less.

Power factor correction is usually used in industrial settings, where large inductive load exists; in which case tremendous power savings are realized, as well as greater longevity of the appliances.

The only time power factor correction is really helpful in a home power setting, is if there is an unusually high inductive load, such as from a pool pump, or a koi pond pump. Then net energy savings are going to be high enough to pay for the unit in a reasonable amount of time.

Otherwise, buying power conditioning units for home use is most likely to be a waste of money.

• My experience with Power Factor Correction unit on my home (http://www.freeenergynews.com/Directory/PowerFactorCorrection/flat_line/) - consumed more energy because of low usage time; unit itself continually draws energy.

Analyzed at the University of Utah

Local news had the Electrical Engineering Department at the Univesity of Utah evaulate this device. It was done as part of my Feedback Systems class to facilitate a real world device and testing proceedure. Three students and an instructor took it apart and evaluated it. They found it to be unable to meet the resutls discussed by the manufacturer and presented that the theory would only possibly work for a large business with an extensively changing load and it would still not be capable of being done by the current device. Here is the link to the guy who came to the U, I couldn't find it in his list of "let bill buy it" but it was done during the spring session 2006. http://kutv.com/consumer Arn Stoltz at the U of U is the Professor who was involved.
