Re: power factor correction

Hi Dan,

I dont think the PFC will effect the electric bill since the KWH meter measures true power. It will reduce the line current and help keep breakers from tripping for coils that draw high enough power.

PFC's are NOT required, they just help to bring the voltage and
current in phase with each other, there by reducing total current draw
from you electric company and lowering you electric bill. this is
important for home air conditioners, fridgerators etc...

hope this helps,
Dan
