Optimum Power units increase your Power Factor, which results in a direct increase in efficiency, lowering costs & reducing stress on machinery.

Our Optimum Power units:

• are a device installed locally in your building which provides for more efficient usage of your electricity & a longer life-span for your motors & machinery.
• act as a Reactive Power Generator, which helps to provide the electromotive power that your motors require to operate-rather than the motor drawing it all from the utility.

How it Works

When you bring electricity into your establishment from the utility company it is alternating current electricity (60 cycles per second) and you are expecting it to do two kinds of work — resistive and inductive.

When you supply power to an ordinary light bulb, it immediately produces light and in a very short time it also produces heat. The resistance to the passage of electricity creates light and heat. This is called the resistive load.

When supply power to any appliance with an electric coil in it, such as an electric motor or a transformer, the electricity passing through the magnetic field of the coil induces a responsive electrical energy that works in the opposite direction to the electricity that is driving the motor. This is called the inductive load.

Our Optimum Power Unit is installed into your electrical system between the electric meter and your main electric panel, and it distinguishes between the resistive load and the inductive load. It does nothing to the resistive load; just leaves it alone. However, due to some of the features of alternating current the Optimum Power unit captures the inductive load on one cycle, turns it around and gives it back to all the circuits connected to your panel as useful energy on the next cycle. It does that 60 times per second.

Optimum Power Units can be used beneficially in any kind of establishment that has a lot of inductive load generated by fridges, coolers, freezers, air conditioners, fans and pumps; basically, any kind of device that uses motors and all fluorescent lighting that uses a transformer type ballast.
