Better Power Factor

You may be paying a monthly penalty fee to your electric utility for poor power factor.

Remember this: kW divided by kVA equals power factor

Is your firm a small company and trying to find hidden cashflow from a facility?

Is your firm medium sized, or ISO certified, or using six sigma methodologies, or utilizing Project Management, with efforts to move your firm to infrastructure sustainability?

Is your firm a property management group with hundreds of properties and your managers are trying to uncover best methods to save overhead and or cut costs as they relate to billable rent?

Is your company a conglomeration of many sites each with no control over their electric utility bill because it goes to the central payables office?

Is the power factor ratio listed in the electric bill less than the preset Base Power Factor?

Since you pay the utility bill which is formulated on the basis of energy consumed (kWh) and the reactive component of current does not register on a kilowatt‐hour meter,
