I do not largely recommend the Astron BB series for proper battery
maintenance. The issue is the charge voltage is directly related to
the operating voltage so to se the appropriate float voltage you need
to tweak the operating voltage pot to a lower level and the charge
current is strictly
This is funny. All they appear to be doing is placing a capacitor across the
line at the service panel which gives some power factor correction to motor
or other inductive loads. But that correction is AT THE POWER PANEL which is
only inches or a few feet at the most away from the meter.
If you
Hi Gary,
I was pretty suspicious of what the unit was claimed to do so I didn't give
them any money. It's good that we have a reflector like this one with 3000
+ members on the list that can give their $0.02 as well as their technical
expertise / opinions.
Thanks for replying to my original

George,
I took the time to view their short video.

They show the Amperage to the load (a motor) is changed with and
without the Power Saver. Notice I said Amperage not KiloWatt Hours.
KWH's are not referenced in the video, and is what you actually pay for
for
Kevin,
I think that you meant the amperage to the load (a motor) is UNCHANGED
with and without the device.
I didn't notice the kwh reading on the meter. Good catch!

I wasn't very clear
What I meant was the amperage to the load from the first ammeter is
changed by the presence the unit. Of course, the amperage to the load
The kWh reading didn't change because the time was too short. If they ran
the test for an hour on, reset the meter, then an hour off you could have
more easily seen a result -- it wouldn't have mattered -- no savings.

No you wouldn't have seen any change in the kwh reading in an hour because
there is no change in real power which is what kwh is. If you were measuring
kva (volt amperes) then that would change.
I would assume that the kwh reading on the (handheld) meter would be
instantaneous.
Otherwise you

You misunderstood my comment. I agree, there would have been no difference
in the readings whether the device was on or off. However the kWh reading
would have changed had it been left on long enough, and there was load.
Kevin said that the kWh reading didn't change and didn't understand why.
Sorry Chuck, yes I did misunderstand your comment. I got ahead of myself on
kw verses kwh. You are right.
Thanks!

Kevin,
Thank you for revealing that some power-saving TV ads are nothing more
than snake-oil pitches. What is never explained clearly is that these
green machines simply lower the voltage until the motor (usually in a
