PROBLEM
You are an electrician who is entrusted to manage the
daily electricity savings at home. But on the other case the
use of electricity is always excessive, because of the
increasing need.

 POWER FACTOR
What is Power Factor?
Simply put, Power Factor is a measure of an electrical
systems efficiency

 Productive Power (Kilowatts or kW) which produces

work.
 Reactive Power (Kilo Volt Amperes Reactive or kVAR) kVA2 = kW2 + kVAR2
which generates the magnetic fields required in
inductive electrical equipment (AC motors,
transformers, inductive furnaces, ovens, etc.)
ERROR
there are several reasons that affect electricity bills that go up and make it always excessive is
the system error and human error
1. the cost swelling could happen because the electrician who came to the house was negligent
in checking the electric meter
2. swelling can also occur because of the electrical divider often up and down at home.
3. swelling may occur due to usage that we do not realize, for example in your home often use
air conditioning and forget not to turn it off.
4. there is the worst possible that is, the theft of electricity in your home. Therefore, you should
check the electrical installation in your home
to solve this problem we can check our electrical measuring devices and monitor our electrical
system
LOAD
The reason why I say that the thing that can affects the rise in electricity and make it
always excessive is the load its because:
1. There are various types of electrical equipment used for household purposes.
There is a resistive load, inductive load, and capacitive load which of course
requires varying power;
2. Unlimited amount and usage. It will affect the need for power supply in a house;
3. There are some household appliances that require a fairly high starting current for
example rice cooker and water pump;
To solve this problem we can installing capacitor in groups near the load and held a
counseling about the importance of saving electricity energi.
TIME OF ELECTICITY CONSUMPTION

Static power consumption is the one cause use of electricity is always excessive,
Some other common electronic devices that consume static power are fans, vacuum
cleaners, computers and televisions
For example : The 45 Watt fan is used on average for 8 hours a day. Thus, the cost
of using the power becomes:
= ((45 Watt / 1.000) x 8 hour) x Rp. 864,2,-
= (0,045 kWh x 8 hour) x Rp. 864,2,-
= 0,36 kWh x Rp. 864,2,-
= Rp. 311,11,- in one day
BEST SOLUTION

1. Use Capacitors Bank and inspection

measuring instruments

Support Idea

• 1. P = V . I . Cos
• 2. To substract the financial loss
