We are the exclusive Ontario agent for Arco
Electric Products, an ISO 9001:2000 company that has been manufacturing our
CSA approved PFC capacitors since 1964 servicing all of Canada.
As electricity rates continue to rise and
represent a significant portion of the capital cost of doing business,
energy management has become a very important concern. Understanding
power factor and how it affects your company's electrical bill can
help control and reduce electricity costs and conserve.
What is Power Factor?
Larger power consumers have three meters to measure their power usage.
A kilowatt-hour (kwh) meter measures the consumption and two " demand"
meters that measure kilowatt-voltage-amperes - kva (apparent power) and
kilowatts - kw (real power). PF is the kw amount divided by the kva
amount i.e. kw/kva.
These meters are read monthly and then reset. These
readings are shown on your hydro bill and the charges are based accordingly.
A power factor (PF) reading below 90% indicates that the
operating equipment is wasting excessive electrical power and the user is
penalized financially every month for this wastage.
We improve the "power factor" to correct this
problem.

EVALUATION STUDY & COMPLETE REPORT
PowerBank
Canada will put together and present a written report based
upon your company's electrical performance and usage. This report
will show by month, your power consumption (kwh), power factor,
load factor, line current reduction, improved transformer capacity,
conservation and TOTAL FINANCIAL SAVINGS.
Learn the causes of Low Power Factor and How to Correct this problem.
