THE POWER FACTOR READINGS REMAIN SIMILAR IN BOTH TABLES. THE POWER FACTOR VALUES ARE
WELL BELOW THE OPTIMUM OF .9. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ECONOMIZER IS
NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A CAPACITOR BANK. THE RESULTS OF THESE POWER FACTOR READINGS IS TO
ADVISE CUSTOMERS THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A LICENSED ELECTRICAL
CONTRACTOR.

THE RESULTS SHOW AN EXCELLANT 38% DROP IN ELECTRICAL ENERGY
CONSUMPTION AS COMPARED TO READINGS WITHOUT THE ECONOMIZER.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THESE RESULTS ARE ALSO AFFECTED BY THE
DEMAND VARIATIONS AS NOTED ON PREVIOUS TABLES
