How do I install a kvar electric unit

If it is one of those 'Power Saver' devices, and I suspect that it is, then the following steps apply :

1) Find the nearest rubbish skip;

2) Throw it in;

3) Walk away.

By doing it this way, you limit your losses to just the purchase price instead of adding an electrician's installation fee to them.

Thanks for your comment, There are electric coop that are pushing home owners to install them to cut the demaned on electric use, there are tv interveiw showing that the kvar cuts power use by 10 to 30%.

thanks jchip

when there is Zero different loads, installed an kVAR it will increase the bill (KWh)

I got caught by ur last 3 lines...Look I have a situation here and I really need ur help

I have an Extruder...I have attached a Kwh meter on it...I have measured the everyday consumption of that Extruder..It consumes averagely 600 Kw...

After a week a company came and attached like a small panel...I wasn't allowed to see what they have done...but actually after what they have done-on the same meter-the same extruder...the consumption decreased averagely to 420 kw!!!

How would that be happening!!!

I am an Engineer and I believe that Kw is not able to be reduced!!

But also i believe in experiements !!!so i need help in explanining what happend

<...Find the nearest rubbish skip....Throw it in....>

In the EEC, under the WEEE Directive, the unit must be entrusted to an authorised recycler.

Where is this located? Apparently the coop does not realize it doesn't bill residential customer a KVAR penalty. Or do they??????

In eastern South Carolina and no they don't

thanks

Quote alnashadh "when there is Zero different loads, installed an kVAR it will increase the bill (KWh)"

Not sure what you mean be zero different loads but a KWH meter does not read KVAR. The bill would not be increased by adding KVAR. If you were at a power factor of 1, adding KVAR would increase demand readings.

I think what he meant may be that these things actually have losses associated with them, so since they do nothing to decrease your bill, the losses represent additional load and therefore the bill will actually go up by a small amount. I have seen a few studies that show this.
