In online stores, the new Electricity Saving Box raised a huge buzz. Real reviews about him in most cases are negative. They do not favor the device and claim that this is a real fraud. Let's see if this is true.
Need for savings
The amount of energy on Earth is rapidly falling. Oil, gas and coal are getting harder every year. Therefore, electricity and other forms of energy are gradually increasing in value. This entails a need for savings.
Everyone approaches this question in their own way. Someone is trying to use economical household appliances, while others are looking for easier ways. They also came up with the Electricity Saving Box. According to manufacturers, its use is completely simple and understandable. The action of the device is legal, since it works inside the home network already behind the electric meter.
As it turns out, we have a considerable amount of electricity wasted. It is this resource that is designed to use the new device. Easy savings without extra effort attract buyers. They are not even confused by the fact that the device costs a lot of money.
Free electricity
Many stores sell the Saving Electricity Energy Saver. The principle of operation of this device is to convert unused electricity into one that will be useful for household appliances.
Manufacturers call this resource reactive energy. It is really present in electrical networks where there are electromagnetic coils. Under constant current conditions, the coil only works in one direction. It constantly emits a magnetic field, the energy of which people have learned to use.
A completely different picture is obtained with alternating current. At the moment of its shutdown, the field changes its direction sharply, and reactive energy instead of active energy begins to flow along the wires. And as you know, in domestic electric networks of our country, 50 times per second, the current is interrupted. That is, there is plenty of work for the Electricity Saving Box. User reviews indicate that there is a great deal of doubt that the device comes with reactive energy exactly as it is beneficial to consumers.
Scientific research
When the effect of reverse energy in the coils was discovered, this was not given much importance until large enterprises appeared with machines and huge electricity consumption. Then the search began for the device, which is conditionally called the prototype Electricity Saving Box. The energy economizer, reviews of which became the reason for this conversation, in some moments really uses the principle of operation of an industrial device.
Scientists have found that reactive electricity is not used in the operation of technology, but it can be stored using capacitors. The main thing here is to correctly calculate power and capacity. After the reactive energy is captured, the capacitor is discharged, turning it into active.
Studies have shown that such traps on an industrial scale provide significant savings. But all this is due to the fact that hundreds of electric motors work at the enterprise. In apartments there are no more than two dozen. At the same time, 2-3 coils work.
Household option economizer
Taking into account the research of scientists, enterprising manufacturers created the Electricity Saving Box. The principle of operation, reviews and its characteristics on the seller’s website are rather doubtful. And all because there are not so many sources in the home electrical network that emit reactive electricity. So, it’s unlikely to save big money on it.
We are told that the use of electricity is reduced by 50%. Even in production they do not talk about such an indicator of savings. Although there really is a lot of reactive electricity.
The apartment is constantly running only a refrigerator. All other reactivity sources are switched on infrequently and for a short time. These include a TV, microwave, hairdryer, food processor, air conditioning, fluorescent lamps. Under such conditions, the savings are unlikely to be more than 10%. The same result can be achieved by reviewing the family regime of electricity consumption and without spending a lot of money on it.
The claimed method of use
Still, many decide to buy an Electricity Saving Box. Real reviews about the device can cause serious suspicion. But there are people to whom promises are more important than the opinions of dissatisfied buyers of this device.
Getting started is pretty easy. It is enough to purchase it and plug it into a power outlet. It is said that the closer it is connected to the meter, the more effective it is. After connecting, no action and control by the consumer is required. The device will blink lightly, signaling that it is coping with the task.
Therefore, even people far from electrical engineering, it is clear how to use the Electricity Saving Box. It is for them that he is designed. Because experts will immediately suspect some kind of catch and some inconsistencies in the description.
We read between the lines
The main advantage that attracts customers is the reactive energy converted with the Electricity Saving Box. User reviews on the seller’s websites indicate that after the acquisition, they almost forgot about the problem of paying electricity bills.
The very description says that reactive energy is able to neutralize the action of the active. And although the former is not taken into account by the meter (and we remember that it is produced within the network), its negative impact on the amount in the light bills is quite significant.
Anyone who knows physics will say that this statement is groundless. After all, the only thing that reactive energy can do is slightly increase the consumption of electricity by devices. In addition, manufacturers of household appliances often take this fact into account and immediately install capacitors, which are, in fact, the same economizers. Therefore, there is nothing to catch on the net.
Also, sellers of the Electricity Saving Box device claim that it additionally stabilizes the voltage and keeps contacts from the formation of scale. Both of these allegations are unfounded and illogical. Stabilizers work only in serial connection, and not in parallel, like this device. And scale is formed only in case of poor contacts. And only their restoration can save from this.
Verification of declared characteristics
Some not only use Electricity Saving Box. Real reviews say that there are some experts who became interested in how true the claims of the manufacturers are. They bought the device and made control measurements.
As it turned out, the device really reduces electricity consumption, but not by 50%, but only by 5-10%. This is such a meager indicator that the payback of the economizer becomes almost unrealistic. Instead of the declared couple of months, the buyer will work out his purchase for more than six months.
At high loads in the network, it really lowers the voltage a little, but with a minimum decrease, on the contrary, it increases. This does not affect the economy. But it can cause a short circuit.
Take a look inside
When you are holding the energy-saving Electricity Saving Box in your hands, the reviews about which are not the best, you really want to see what it is made of. Having removed the cover, we will see the minimum set of radio components: diodes, LEDs, capacitors. There are no sensors and regulators here.
It turns out that in any network it will operate according to the same scheme, with the same capacity. But after all, the electricity consumption in a one-room apartment and a two-story private house is completely different. So, and devices for them are selected with different technical characteristics.
The universality of the economizer indicates its complete inefficiency. Perhaps in one case out of a hundred, it will fit the network parameters. But this is a pretty insignificant chance to take risks. With such success, you can win money in the lottery to pay bills for the year ahead.
Classic Chinese item
It is unpleasant to realize, but in recent decades, China has begun to be associated around the world with products of the worst quality. And if the well-known brands that produce goods here filter out the marriage at all stages, then the one-day ones do not care about this issue at all. Among the dubious goods is Electricity Saving Box, a power-saving device. Reviews say that the product comes in poor quality packaging, without instructions in Russian or with such errors that it is simply impossible to read. The poor quality of the plastic housing is also immediately visible.
Based on all this, there is immediately a suspicion that its "filling" is not so good as the buyer hoped. So it really is. People have repeatedly proved in practice that Chinese instruments and devices do not have any compliance with quality standards. Therefore, buying them is extremely dangerous, as many reviews say.
Another proof of fake
If someone really invented a way in which energy could be saved, this development would not be left without attention of the scientific community. They would not only loudly discuss such a device as the Electricity Saving Box, real reviews about which do not say anything about this fact, but would also buy a patent for its production a long time ago.
In this case, the device would be produced under one or two well-known trademarks, and would not be sold with “discounts” on one-day websites. In fact, we have the opposite situation, which indicates just that the device is not as effective as much as the manufacturer claims.
Final word
Saving electricity, of course, is necessary. But you need to do this wisely. Not a single economizer of energy - Electricity Saving Box and the like - are suitable for these purposes. This is another way to lure money from desperate people.
To keep the bills smaller, always turn off the lights when leaving the room, do not leave household appliances working idle, turn off the heaters when they are not needed. And already at the end of the month you will see that the percentage of savings has approached 20-30. And this is not the limit. There is always something to save on without compromising on comfort and self-interest.
Respect for natural resources means saving at home. 10 minutes less light was shining - somewhere at the power station less fuel oil or coal burned out. But you need to save consciously. Not all new products are equally effective and useful. Sometimes they can only do harm.
