Many large businesses across the nation have already invested in this technology and installed power factor correction devices in their facilities.\u00a0 &#8220;How do I know if my power factor is low or high?&#8221; A property&#8217;s power factor rating varies from property to property based on how efficient it is (as well as other factors).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"> Firstly, it is important to understand that the power factor is the effectiveness of the equipment on your property to utilize the energy it is demanding. In the USA, residential properties aren&#8217;t billed power factor penalties. However commercial properties are. If you know someone who owns a business of any size, you can help them no only wipeout any penalty they are currently paying, but also reduce their actual energy costs.\u00a0 Residential homes simply benefit by lowering their energy cost.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.electricsaver1200.com\/fruit-loop\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-208\" title=\"rusted motor\" src=\"http:\/\/electricsaver1200.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/rusted-motor1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>An old motor on a farm may have a power factor of .62 whereas a swimming pool pump motor may have a power factor of .87 The lower the number, the worse off you are. But I have great news! If you do have a low power factor number (or know someone who does), do not worry, we have a solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">In addition to paying for inefficient energy usage on your property, some power consumers have to pay a power factor penalty as well. This applies to large and commercial power consumers. So not only do you have to pay more for electricity to your equipment, you also are billed a penalty on top of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The penalty represents the disparity between the amount of power you consume and the capacity provided by the power supplier to power the available machinery in your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.electricsaver1200.com\/pfc-approval-from-power-company\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-209\" title=\"wasted money\" src=\"http:\/\/electricsaver1200.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/wasted-money1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> It is very important to calculate power factor in your company because at times your power company may miscalculate your power factor and hence overcharge you. Remember that if you are a business, your power factor will be used by the power company to do your billing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Therefore you have to be watchful to ensure that the calculation is done properly. Another reason why you should do your own power factor calculation is to ensure that you are not charged unrealistic surcharges over your kilowatt-hours. The problem with most companies is that they rely on their power suppliers to calculate power factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">This is risky because the company\/business owner could potentially end up paying higher surcharges. It is like asking a wolf to watch over Red Riding Hood&#8230;.someone\u2019s gonna get eaten! YOU!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Another important reason why it is always important to calculate power factor is because power factors that are above 90% cost very little and sometimes they are not charged. But factors that are below 70% come with additional costs and can lead to higher penalties. So for you to ensure that you do not get into trouble with your power company, it is important to have accurate calculations of your power factor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><object width=\"640\" height=\"360\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Y1H58wRKTE0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Many companies fail to calculate their power factors for fears of spending extra money.
