What is the ESS?
The
Energy Saving System (ESS) was designed to correct power problems, reduce utility
bills, and save money. The ESS is a box that is installed after the main electrical
panel. It is U.L. listed as Industrial Control Equipment and is approved by the
New York City Alliance to Save Energy. The ESS is electromagnetic and has no moving
parts, thus its useful life is well over 20 years.
How
does it work?
The ESS helps balance the load in the panel box,
takes out the power surges, and reduces the energy line loss and electrical noise
on the lines. It reduces wear and tear on motors and lights, making the motors
run cooler, and ballasts and fluorescent bulbs last longer as the spikes are taken
out of the lines. The process through which our product reduces the electrical
power (kW and kWh) drawn from the utility is centered on the action of the magnetic
chokes. It converts the reactive power component that is present in an inductively
loaded system to useful real electrical power and provides this power to the system.
It can almost be thought of as a mini cogenerator, which provides part of the
real power that the inductive loads need to operate. Less power from the utility
means a lower electric bill.

What makes
the ESS unique?
- A significant thing to note is that the
Energy Saving System, as a shunt device, is installed in parallel. Hence, in the
unlikely event of a failure by the unit, power is not interrupted to the loads.
- Another important feature is that it does not starve the load
electrically as some energy reduction devises do. With the system online, the
load receives the rated voltage, current, and power required for the load to operate.
The reductions are all on the line side of the unit. These reductions are in line
current and line power. It is the line power reduction that lowers the electrical
bill.
- While power factor correction capacitors cannot reduce
the kW that the utility must supply to a load, our technology can. We remove wasted
harmonic and RF noise energy and produce usable energy (real power) that is supplied
to the load, thus reducing the amount of real power that the utility company must
supply to the load. The load still receives the real power it requires to operate
at its rated performance levelbut we provide a portion of that real power
and the utility provides less, thus lowering the electrical bill.
- This
method of improving power factor is superior to installing capacitors because
the unit can maintain a high power factor as loads change. The magnetic chokes
in the unit continuously sense the load current and automatically adjust power
factor compensation as load changes. Capacitors cannot do this. A magnetic choke
is an electrical component that is constructed of wire wrap around a ferromagnetic
core. In general, a choke (also called an inductor) serves to resist rapid increases
in current flow. As current increases, the action of the choke is to build a magnetic
field, which induces a voltage across the choke windings that work to slow the
rate at which the current increases.
- The chokes are unique in
their construction, connection, and physical orientation with respect to each
other within the unit enclosure. The construction involves a core that is nearly
a complete loop; a gap of specific dimensions breaks the loop. In addition to
the core itself, wires from the other electrical phases pass through the wraparound
windings of the choke. This aspect of construction when combined with the unique
connection and orientation mentioned earlier enables a cross-coupling, or transference,
of magnetic energy between the chokes as the magnetic fields build up and collapse
in the chokes with each electrical cycle. This action, when combined with the
actions of other circuit components, provides the energy-saving, power-conditioning
capabilities of the unit.

Residential
ESS Unit
Our Whole House Energy Saving System is comprised of proven technologies
that have been used by industry for yearsmagnetic chokes, metal oxide varistors,
and filter circuits. We at RR&A have integrated these technologies into a
single enclosure designed to provide the homeowner with the following benefits:
Energy
savings
The Whole House Energy Saving System improves the electrical
energy efficiency of motorized equipment in the home, such as refrigerators, air
conditioners, fans, pool/spa pumps, etc. With higher operating efficiencies, the
electrical equipment requires less energy to operate and run at lower operating
temperatures, which extends the useful life of such equipment. The end result
is savings to the homeowner.
Surge suppression
Works
to suppress excess electrical energy caused by power surges and spikes. The Whole
House Energy Saving System helps to protect valuable equipment in the home (computers,
TVs, stereos, appliances, etc.) from harmful power surges. The unit is installed
at the home's electrical panel. MOVs inside the system work to suppress excess
electrical energy and power surges or spikes. Our system helps to protect all
electrical products in the home.
Clean power
Electrical
noise is caused by disturbances in an electrical system, either generated externally
or internally. Turning on the vacuum can cause static on your television set.
This is known as electrical noise. The filter circuit within the Whole House Energy
Saving System will help reduce electrical noise, thus improving your home's power
quality. Our system is environmentally friendly as well. By reducing energy usage
by the homeowner, utilities don't have to produce as much power. The result: Less
burning of nonrenewable natural resources at the generation station (oil, coal,
or natural gas), resulting in less hazardous waste and atmospheric emissions.
The RR&A Whole House Energy Saving System is inexpensive, easy to install,
maintenance free, and comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
