A lot of the farmers around us do that for their driers/augers. A big box of equipment is installed, and the motors run smoother and quieter.

Interesting. I think a freind of mine that owns a cotton gin did the same and supposedly saved a bunch. He really didin't know enough to explain what they actually installed or were supposed to do but I bet that was it. Lots of 3 phase stuff in a cotton gin. Big motors. I thought he said they were big caps but I can't imagine them being big enough for those kind of loads. They would be huge.

    I ran into one production facility that was out of power in an
    industrial area of town.  The power company could not easily
    upgrade them for less than a huge fortune.
    A local company came in and did some harmonic filter magic and now
    there was more power available for more machines.
    I think it also helped their power bill.

    Ha... client is El Paso Electric at Newman power plant...I doubt
    they really care...these are for the ponds between plant and
    largest solar farm in area..the ponds are designed to keep the
    water from seeping into ground water.

        I agree. Cleaning up power I can understand but facing money?
        You are paying for watts so you are just losing money on the
        inefficiency of the transformer.

            A Google search comes up with a device from Legend Power
            Systems that is basically a step down transformer,
            claiming that by reducing the AC voltage you will save
            power.  That sounds like B.S. to me, unless all your loads
            are incandescent light bulbs.

                What does a harmonizer do? Cut down on harmonics? I
                know that in some situation harmonics can cause a
                power factor type of problem to the power company.

                Yes...outer seal is bonded to ground inside
                pipe....first time we have done it this way...this
                enclosure has compenents we have never installed
                before like a harmonizer.

                    what is that ground for?? Looks like a ground to
                    an outer seal of some sort.
