I do not largely recommend the Astron BB series for proper battery
maintenance. The issue is the charge voltage is directly related to
the operating voltage so to se the appropriate float voltage you need
to tweak the operating voltage pot to a lower level and the charge
current is strictly res
This is funny. All they appear to be doing is placing a capacitor across the
line at the service panel which gives some power factor correction to motor
or other inductive loads. But that correction is AT THE POWER PANEL which is
only inches or a few feet at the most away from the meter.

I took the time to view their short video.

They show the "Amperage" to the load (a motor) is changed with and
without the Power Saver. Notice I said Amperage not KiloWatt Hours.
KWH's are not referenced in the video, and is what you actually pay for

Kevin,
I think that you meant "the amperage to the load (a motor)" is UNCHANGED
with and without the device.
I didn't notice the kwh reading on the meter. Good catch!

I wasn't very clear
What I meant was the amperage to the load from the first ammeter is
changed by the presence the unit. Of course, the amperage to the lo
The kWh reading didn't change because the time was too short. If they ran
the test for an hour on, reset the meter, then an hour off you could have
more easily seen a result -- it wouldn't have mattered -- no savings.

No you wouldn't have seen any change in the kwh reading in an hour because
there is no change in real power which is what kwh is. If you were measuring
kva (volt amperes) then that would change.
I would assume that the kwh reading on the (handheld) meter would be
instantaneous.
Otherwise you would

You misunderstood my comment. I agree, there would have been no difference
in the readings whether the device was on or off. However the kWh reading
would have changed had it been left on long enough, and there was load.
Kevin said that the kWh reading didn't change and didn't understand why.

Sorry Chuck, yes I did misunderstand your comment. I got ahead of myself on
kw verses kwh. You are right.

Thanks for the pointer, Nate.

Kevin,
Thank you for revealing that some "power-saving" TV ads are nothing more
than snake-oil pitches. What is never explained clearly is that these
"green machines" simply lower the voltage until the motor (usually in a
washing machine- which spends a lot of time lightly loaded) is drawing its

I have a question for the Mastr II guru's out there.
I know the 19D432500G1 PL board will do both Decode and Encode, but I

They use seperate Encode and Decode boards in the drawer of the radio.
