A team of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers recently put out a white paper explaining why power factor correction type devices actually provide no savings to consumers.

Power factor correction is the process of improving a low power factor in a facility by increasing the ratio of real (working) power to apparent (total) power. Here is what HP says about power factor ...

Most discussions on manufacturing energy efficiency focus on identifying easy-to-find-and-fix energy wasters such as compressed air leaks, inefficient lighting, equipment that is always left on when ...
