single phase power savings

[jjbeamish]

For single phase power savings you can do easily just run about 60 uf (for 1/3hp motor), uf will have to be adjusted for best results, use a cap bank then after you find out what value works for your set up (drill press etc.) you can pick up a single cap (or two). Use 370v oil run caps. Place caps parallel to line in close to motor. Most small motors have a centrifugal start cap (or winding) and I have found no need to mess with them. This works well with my drill press and other small load motors. I could not find a big savings on my air compressor but I did have the caps at the end of the plug and have not tryed it close to the motor which seems to be desirable. A drop from 6-7amps to 2-3 amps is normal.

Thanks man, added to the compilation with your schematic, we will try and post our results. Add that duty cycle up world wide, these savings are relative. Great work thanks man.

Das ist keine wirklicher ersparniss !  Nur durch die phasenverschiebung zeit ein Watt-meter falsch an !      Normal  m?ssen diese Fehl Leistungen in phase wieder korrigiert sein , die voreinen oder hinterherlaufen , damit die rechnung der E-Werke stimmt .

That is no more really save-eats! Only by the phase shift time a wattmeter wrongly on! Normally these must be again corrected wrongly achievements in phase, afterwards-run those before one or, so that the calculation of the E-works is correct.

So try it with a 12v battery to an inverter as I have. No power factor phase crap with dc and an in line amp meter.
