It reverses the phase on the line, canceling out the opposite phase. The voltage and frequency remain the same, so everything operates as normal, just with a reverse phase. The reverse phase, in ef- fect will cause the electric meter to run slower, and at a very low consumption times, even backwards... But remember to turn the thing off once and a while, and don't leave it on while in Hawaii... or you'll be getting a 'Visit'... --------- Materials --------- 3 - .47UF Electrolytic Capacitators rated at a minimum of 50V 1 - 1/2 Watt resistor, 20-30 ohm (Radio Shack 271-005) 1 - 120 volt fuse or circuit breaker, Amp rating - 1/2 total house current or less to protect your circuit breaker (RS 270-1310 2A Circuit breaker) - if it keeps blowing, use higher amp. 1 - 120 volt SPST switch, rated at total house current (RS 275-324) 1 - Power cord - a cut off extension cord, with plug and wire 1 - Spool of at least 20 ga. stranded wire or cut up power cord for house current (RS 278-1304 or 278-1305) 1 - PC-board (optional) (RS 270-291, includes box, below) 1 - Insulated Electrical Box +---+---+----///----<->---+ ! ! ! ! ! ! ! +--A/C (=) (=) (=) ! ! ! +--Source ! ! ! ! +---+---+---------[/]-------+ (=) Capacitators // Resistor <-> Fuse [/] Switch ----- Usage ----- Wire the circuit as shown in the diagram, with the three capacit- ators in parallel, using wire capable to handle 120 volts - at least 20 ga. stranded or solid (if you can work with it). Put the resistor, fuse, and switch into the circuit serieswise. Secure project into the insulated box, connect the power cord to the leads and plug into an A/C source. Set the switch to on...
