Every now and then I see ads for electric motor "power factor controllers." They claim to reduce the amount of power used by electric motors. Are they for real? How do they work? I'm sure this should be more interesting than the ongoing "solar cell" flame wars :-) Thanks...Jim Cronin jdc@rama.sc.harris.com
