    Guys,

    With the high electric costs, we are contemplating on getting this... effective ba ito? The details are below

    POWERSTAR

    An Electrical Device that helps reduce electrical consumption of inductive or motorized home/appliances such as Air Conditioner, Electric Fan, Water Pump, Washing Machine, etc. The Power Star is a handy version of Power Factor Corrector designed conveniently for home and office use, where the device can be easily plugged to any electrical outlet. A Power Factor Corrector is a device that recycles partial of the electrical waste generated by the said inductive equipment. This recycled electrical power is then feed back to the same circuit at the same time thus reducing the need for fresh electrical power. It is recommended to turn off the device when no inductive equipment is being used. Do not pull out the device from socket it is ON. Avoid turning it OFF when there are still inductive equipment ON. Avoid touching the plug of the device after disconnecting it from the outlet. Plug the device in a stable outlet not on an extension outlet.

    Recommended Minimum Load:
    * 15 Amperes Initial Load
    * 3,300 Watts
    * 250 kw/hr Average Monthly Electrical Consumption

    * Energy saving from minimum 20% to maximum 35%
    * Easy installation & function

    Advantages:

    May thread tayo neto, Yebo explained how it works... like what BB said, it affects motor-powered appliances more. (washers, refs, ac etc).

    Mina-market ba ito sa America? Sa America kasi matindi ang parusa sa fraud. Tapos mahilig pang mag-demanda ang mga Amerikano.

    Dito kasi sa Asian countries asar-talo lang yung mga nauuto kaya tuloy laganap ang scam.

    Power factor correction is a proven principle in electronics and electrical engineering. In reality, induction motors or transformers (anything na may inductor coil) are inefficient. Kaya makakatipid ka sa kuryente kahit wala kang powerstar, basta bunutin mo lang sa saksakan ang mga appliances mo na may transformer. These are TV's, radios etc. Kasi kahit di mo ginagamit, kumukunsumo pa din ng kuryente ang mga appliances na ito.
