Would you rent a 10
ton truck, when a 5 ton truck would do the job? Every month? Year
after year?
Well, thats exactly what
youre doing with your electric company. When the electric loads in your
plant have a Power Factor lower than 1 (or Unity), you pay a higher demand
charge (or rent) for the equipment that delivers power to you.
This higher demand charge
can cost your company tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per year
or more in higher energy costs.
Learn how Power Factor
works and how to design for Power Factor Correction when installing new or
refurbished equipment in your facility.
In this 2 hour web-based
seminar, you'll learn....
-
Review of AC & DC circuit theory
-
The inevitable voltage and power
losses that occur whenever electrical power is transmitted from one
place to another
-
How power flows as a sine wave of
double the line frequency
-
How current and power flow are
different in resistive, inductive and capacitive circuits
-
A practical real world example of
power factor correction
-
Considering power factor when
specifying, purchasing and installing equipment
