Maybe not but 37% on the website, 37% on your dwelling awful coincidence especially when the experts say it can't be done.
I'm not trying to flame you just wary

sorry i got ratty but i'm not scamming anyone, they've changed the website since i got it, they were claiming 40%, i gave them a feedback email 2 weeks after i got the devices, mayb they're getting info countering the 40% first claimed.

i've yet to get a change in my monthly direct debit payments for electric, i think that mite take som time, i'll post the cash savings or non savings which ever is the case.

i dont want anybody buying stuff that doesnt work or missing out on a possibe saving, only time will tell if wat reads on my meter is an accual cash saving.

peace out.

5 cents a KWH here...

I'm saving over 50% on my bill by not living in Cali!!!

No, you are saving about 700%.

PG&E knows what is happening in this state, and they ARE the power company, and they have their hand out, collecting from the green-gold rush. I pay $0.37 KWH.

OH and yeah, this thread is total bullshit.
You ain't gona save any money with a "black box."

lol.... give it up.

Nept did you read any of the links posted?.. there is no denying the science behind PF correction. now whether or not you will save a ton of $ in the US with one of these boxes...not unless it has a built in motor controller such as mine... it is what is causing the savings on a KWH billed powergrid if you are on a KVAH billed powergrid they work exactly as they claim

ANY inductive load ie: windings (motors, transformers, etc) causes the Voltage to LEAD the Current by 90 degrees ( sine waves). Capacitors cause the Voltage to LAG the Current by 90 degrees. It does take some complex math to figure the Reactance ( = Z) necessary to return the Voltage/Current to be "In Phase" with one another. Just figured I could give some idea on how those "Power Savers" work

Nep is abs right, this thread method can only give 5~10% saving max.
And correct way is: Using your rush and non-rush timing price to cut your power cost. It will help you save 25% cost normally.
However, you need an accurate timer system.

Back in 98 hightimes i remember seeing such a device..it was 800 bucks a unit and it looked like no toy either...Somehow the U.S. made a law banning the importation of them. It was a canadien based company, I will have to research it sometime.

That sounds like the Equalizer PF2 I was referring to earlier in this thread. The website was www.ipcontrols.ca, but it doesn't work for me anymore. Dunno about any laws banning them tho as I had a friend order one about a year ago - but he never got to use it AFAIK.
