Frequently Asked Questions
* What makes
the GESPER different from any other product?
The GESPER uses
a technology which incorporates electronics arrayed in a protected
order designed to eliminate surges and spikes, protect equipment,
prevent downline lightning strikes and eliminate harmful harmonic
distortion.
* Will the
GESPER interfere with any other energy saving equipment?
The GESPER must
be installed away from VFD's, soft starts and soft stops. The
GESPER unit may be used with all energy saving devices, however,
special wiring may sometimes be required. We have diagrams for
most scenarios. Our units lower the demand factor, without starving
motors of electricity needed at startup.
* Will the GESPER damage my electrical system or
any of my equipment?
NO! The GESPER
is a passive device. In the event of a downline lightning strike
or surge, the unit will absorb the spikes and if the surge is
catastrophic, the unit will sacrifice itself to protect your equipment.
In fact, the GESPER will prolong the life of your equipment
by reducing the amount of heat generated by motors. By the reduction
of heat output, air conditioning costs are also lowered.
* Where is
the GESPER installed?
For a home, the GESPER
is installed at the electric panel. For businesses, a Site Survey
Analysis is required. This analysis aids us in sizing of units,
number of units required and identifying potential trouble spots
in the wiring.
* How does
the GESPER save money?
The GESPER unit lowers
apparent power that is read on the line side of the meter without
lowering actual power supplied on the load side of the meter.
In other words, the motors are still drawing the same amount of
electricity but the meter is showing a decrease in the amount
of electricity used, because the GESPER unit eliminates several
factors that add to Kwh consumption. See
Power Point explanation for additional information.
* Is this legal?
YES! The GESPER is
not fooling the meter. It is supplying a purer form of electricity
to the motor(s) than is being supplied to the meter. Also, by
taking out the surges and spikes that the meter reads as apparent
usage, the customer is only being charged for the ACTUAL amount
of electricity used.
* How does
it work?
The units work very
well, but at this point in time we can not completely explain
the exact reasons WHY it works. The units have been studied by
Universities, who also have a difficult time explaining the details
of why they work, but they do not deny that they DO WORK! For
more information see the Power
Point Presentation designed to help explain the products.
* How does
the GESPER save money?
Our units will reduce
demand charges on your electric bill, reduce your kWh usage, reduce
power factor penalties by raising your PF towards unity and lower
your maintenance and downtime costs. The latter is a major consideration
for large plants and industrial facilities.
