Global power factor correction
Anyone who has global power factor correction installed may believe that they have already increased their building’s efficiency. This is a common misconception. Global power factor correction only improves the power factor (or pf) from where the unit is installed back to the electricity supplier. In fact, the only savings that are being made are between the global pf correction unit and the meter. Often these are installed next to each other anyway!
Unlike global power factor correction, imops ensure power savings are made throughout the infrastructure of the building. The fact that they are located on individual pumps etc means that they are able to make the electrical savings from each point, throughout the building infrastructure back to the meter.
