Electricity Saving Device (ERD’s)

Guest post by: Robert Steadman

Article Overview: Electricity Saving Devices are responsible for thousands of Companies saving money on their utility bills. The ERD (power factor correction) can save customers as much as 15% on their electric bill every month without sacrificing normal energy consumption and the comforts it provides

Electricity Saving Device (ERD’s)

How Does ERD Unit Work?

The ERD reduces the amount of power drawn from the utility by storing (in its capacitors) otherwise lost electricity (watts) caused by the inductive motors in your home. (Some examples of inductive motors are Air Conditioning units, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, pool pumps, vacuum cleaners, furnace blower motors, fans etc.) The technology applied by the ERD Unit supplies that stored electricity back to your inductive loads, thus causing you to decrease your demand from the utility. If you decrease your demand from the utility, your meter slows down, and you use less electricity. The thought is, you've already paid for that electricity, why pay for it and waste it when you can pay for it, store it, and reuse it again.

What is bad consumption of power?

The percentage of electricity that's delivered to your house and used effectively, compared to what is wasted. For example, a 1.0 means that all the electricity that's being delivered to your home is being used effectively for its purpose. However, most homes/businesses in Europe today have a .77 factor or less. This means that 77% of the electricity that is coming thru your meter at your home or business is being used effectively, the other 23% is being wasted by your inductive load. However, the ERD unit increases that this to .97 or .98, thus increasing the effective use of your electricity and lowering your usage.

You Save Money. We All Win.

Money isn't all that you are saving when you use the ERD. It's an energy-wise purchasing decision with many positive environmental implications.

Re: How did we Live before Electricity - I honestly couldn't imagine life without electricity. Even the camp I go to for hunting has electricity; although, the one year we had supper under a propane light as the weather knocked out the power. We have become so accustomed to modern technology and rely heavily on electricity that we don't even give it a second thought. We take a lot for granted that people in the early decades never got to experience. I remember my early years with no TV, computer, cell phone, etc. I can't imagine not having those things now, and we wouldn't if it weren't for electricity. Electricity has surely changed our lives and the way we do things.
Re: Rumor Has It! - Thanks been there since the late 70's when the market was IBM and Victor. Road the Victor while IBM went though 286's and 386's. Do a lot of cannibalization to keep my Victors going A year ago lost my workstation's hard drive and more recently my operating system due to lightning strikes. Have bought a few computers and modems due to lightning. Take me about a week to recover a hard-drive Lessons learned: regularly backup your programs and data When I grow up I hope to get a what u call it "Power Interuptus Device"
Re: Plan Your Retirement NOW - Hi Barbara, Thanks for your in depth post. I would have thought, someone would have responded to you by now. I think it is a good idea to check which post have had no response. That is why I often check these out and endeavour to reply. I do it for two reasons: one is a kind of appreciation for the person who took the time and wrote it and 2ndly, actually to revive it if at all possible. We are living in a microwave society, we need every thing very quick and find it hard to exercise delayed gratification. It starts with the young ones. They watch their parents getting everything so they want the same. The word Saving is almost not heard of in today's society. There is a sale, it looks good and I need it now is todays mentality . I am in England, where the statistics and demographics are similar. There might be some fluctuations, but in general it is a world wide issue. The government borrow money, too. Not many people are interested in that sort of information. One thing I need to add, worry is never the sole answer. It has a negative affect on the health of the people. That is a total different subject, but you have mentionned several times. Any other ideas from our colleagues?
