Global Energy's Power Save 1200


STOP PAYING FOR WASTED ELECTRICITY; INSTALL THE POWER-SAVE 1200™ & SAVE UP TO 25% PER MONTH ON YOUR ELECTRIC BILL!

The Problem: Your Home Wastes Power

Irish, European, North American and homes all over have the same problem. They inefficiently handle inductive load. Inductive load is anything in the home that runs by motor including refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, heat pumps, washers, dryers, fans, blower motors, pool pumps, dish washers, hoovers and hair dryers.

You get the picture, right?

All motors require a certain amount of reactive power (non-working power) from the utility to create the Electro-Magnetic-Field (EMF) around the motor to make it work. The problem is that your local utility delivers that reactive power to your home without knowing how much you really need. Your inductive load (motors) then uses what it needs and sends the rest back to your electric panel where it is "lost" - dispersed in heat never to be seen again. This loss is called I2R loss or "line loss".

The problem with this equation is that you’ve paid for the lost electricity, because it's traveled thru your meter and been measured.

The Solution: The Power-Save 1200

The Power-Save 1200 unit stores the reactive power (non-working power) that would be otherwise lost. This allows your inductive motor load to push in and pull from the Power Save 1200 using the stored power, instead of asking for more from the utility.

This process decreases your demand from the utility thereby decreasing your Kwh usage and lowering your bill each month! This little box can save you 25% on your electric bills. Imagine a small gray box that fits neatly next to your breaker panel, saves you hundreds, if not thousands, of Euros year after year and protects the entire home.

The Power-Save 1200™ was designed with the homeowner in mind, providing lower energy bills, increased motor and appliance life, as well as surge and lightning protection for all of the equipment inside of your house.

Everyone who has an electric bill should have a Power-Save 1200™!

Residential customers throughout Europe should see a realized savings of 8% - 10% minimum and as much as 25% on their electrical usage (and thus Electric bills).

All Power-Save products are backed by a warranty for surge and lighting protection.


How Do the Power-Save Units Work?
The Power-Save Units 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 Power-Save Units 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. This whole process is called power factor optimization.

What is Power Factor?
Power factor is the percentage of electricity that’s delivered to your house and used effectively, compared to what is wasted. For example, a 1.0 power factor means that all the electricity that’s being delivered to your home is being used effectively for its purpose. However, most homes in America today have a .77 power 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. With a low power factor, the utility has to deliver more electricity to do the same work.

However, the Power-Save 1200™ increases that power factor in most cases to .97 or .98, thus increasing the effective use of your electricity and lowering your usage.

Will the Power-Save 1200™ affect any of my appliances and their normal use?
No, if anything, your motors will run about 10% cooler, which is good for a motor because heat is the enemy of a motor.

Is the Power-Save 1200™ tested and approved by independent labs?
Yes, the Power-Save 1200™ is UL listed and tested, and has also been tested by the University of Santa Clara California’s Electrical Engineering department. Also, the technology is recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy.

How much can I expect to save per month by using the Power-Save 1200™?
That depends on many factors. The size of your home/business, the amount of inductive motor load, and the amount you are paying per kilowatt-hour for electricity etc. However, generally speaking users of the product have seen up to 25% in reduced consumption, but the average savings is somewhere in the 15% to 20% range.

How long will it take for the Power-Save 1200™ to pay for itself?
Generally about 6-12 months, but again, the same factors above apply, some will see sooner (6 months), some will see later (12 months).

Is the Power-Save 1200™ easy to install?
We recommend installation by an electrician. The unit comes with complete installation instructions. It installs in about 20-30 minutes.

How long will the Power-Save 1200™ last?
It has a predicted lifespan of up to 20 years.

What About Power-Save 1200™ Surge Protection?
The Power-Save 1200™ US-1 also protects the entire home against power surges. No longer a need for so many surge protectors in the home. The US-1 provides a broad range of protection for hardwired appliances and most home electronics such as televisions, satellite equipment, entertainment systems, etc. The unit protects from power line surges as well as spikes caused by internal wiring problems, loose connections and fluctuating demand from large motors such as appliances, vacuum cleaners, heating and cooling equipment, etc.

Why haven’t I heard of this product until now?
That’s easy, two words “cost effectiveness”. Up until recently, electric rates throughout Ireland were cheap, costing us 2, 3 or 4 cents per kilowatt-hour. Now, electric rates are increasing. At the cheaper rates the Power-Save 1200™ didn’t make sense, but at the current rates, it makes all the sense in the world.
