Answer 1 Your meter measures kW, not kvar, it ignores the power factor. Correcting the power factor will make very little difference since the only power saved will be the small amount of loss in the cables. Connecting capacitors may actually make this loss larger since the capacitive current will flow continuously. Answer 2 Capacitors will improve your power factor only if your present load is quite inductive. Typical inductive loads include incandescent light bulbs, and motors (including forced air heating / cooling fans, refrigerator compressors, chest freezer compressors, dehumidifier compressors etc.) If your load is already capacitive, adding more capacitors will only make your power factor worse. One way to figure out what your present power factor is, is to view the incoming voltage waveform (240V) with an appropriate probe attached to channel 1 of an oscilloscope, and attach a current clamp to the incoming line on channel 2 of the scope. Compare the phase difference of the two waves, and convert to an angle Take the cosine of the angle to find your power factor. Ideally, it should be 1. If the voltage waveform leads (rises before) the current waveform, your load is inductive, and a capacitor will help. If the voltage lags the current, a capacitor is not recommended, as your load (house) is already capacitive. Don't try these measurements unless you take appropriate safety precautions, and know what you're doing. Alternately, you could request the VAR (volt-amp-reactive) numbers for each major appliance from their manufacturers, and calculate your load without coming anywhere near 120 or 240VAC. |
