Re: Clean your electricity and save money
Like any good scam, there is some truth in this article. But most of it is bunk (I can say that word, can't I? Although I thought a different one...). Power factor correction is an issue for large facilities that use a lot of motors. It is NOT an issue for a normal residence. To put it simply, the e...

If you are referring to the usual "electrical wiring as plumbing" analogy, then this is backwards. Volts equals pressure, amps equals flow rate.
