Re: Power Save 1200 ----Any one have experience this product?
If it increased the power factor, then it may help me out a bit.
Checked the PF on my 5k btu window AC in my bedroom, and it runs with the PF fluctuating between .78 and .85 It is also a high efficency AC. Although, it runs with that PF, it uses a sustained 354watts of power.
My TV runs with a PF of .88 and uses 120 watts. My trintron uses 200-ish watts, fluctuates Greatly, and the PF is .60
The full size high efficency fridge in the kitchen, has a PF of .92 and uses 100 watts when the compressor is running, and 130 watts when the door is open and the light is on.
I could not test the dryer, as it is 240v 40 amp, but I'm sure it sucks pleanty :P
I will hopefully find out monday or tuesday if the device works or not, if my meters dont measure properly with it on, then I will have to wait until my next bill. We have been using the AC's quite a bit with this heat, MUCH more power used then last month. So if our bill is similiar, lower, or real close, then it works!

Resistive load.
Electric dryers are mostly resistive, although the motor is inductive. |
