Energy savers up to 30%?

Question

I've seen plug in type energy savers in the market which says "save up to 20%" , "25%" , and "30%" they vary in savings and also price. I'm kinda wondering, what component do they change or add in a certain apparatus to increase percentage of energy savings?? If the percentage varies, would it be possible that a device out there (legal or illegal) exists which has maybe more components that can save up to 60% or maybe 80%?

Answer 1

All that electrical savers works if you are "wasting energy", if you waste 30% then that device saves that 30%, if you waste 80% of energy in your home then that device saves 80% to you, you waste energy if you have:

* a Bad power factor

* a older electrical installation

* a bad designed electrical installation

* Surge pulses of current of voltage incoming to your home

* Increasing of the voltage at your power grid

* Low class or performance of electrical devices in your

  home

..but if you don´t waste energy in your home, then that savers don´t works and save 0% to you

There is other devices really save for you extra energy and can reach up to 100% of electrical energy, that devices convert reactive energy to active energy, here you have one :

From that web site you download free the paper for build the device and you always will have 100% of electrical energy saving

Looked to me like it was just another thing you would plug in, so how does that work.

Answer 3

I assume that you are talking about the "green plug" type energy savers.  You plug an appliance into them and they claim to save significant energy by balancing or leveling the motor load.

It appears that they do work on very lightly loaded small motors.  More heavilly loaded motors still see some energy savings, but not as much.

I've attached a link to a report performed by Georgia Power on these pieces of equipment.  You could find more by doing a web search on some of the brand names - "green plug" or "savawatt."

There is a limit to how much energy you can save in any piece of equipment.   You can eliminate inefficiency, but if a motor is doing any work at all, then it will need enough energy to perform that work.  You can not simply keep adding these energy savings devices and eventually get down to a tiny percentage of the original energy use - unless all the energy you are saving is inefficiency.   However much work is being done - rotating a fan, for example - will still need to be done.  And that will take energy.

Good luck.
