With a compact design of 1” by 2½”, it has 35 components including a green-printed circuit board that attaches directly on the motor or inside original equipment.
New solutions are vital to cut our reliance on foreign oil, rising utility rates and substantial energy waste.
Energy efficiency and sustainability seem to be the greenwashing words of today. With our nation’s reliance on foreign oil continuing to climb, rising utility rates and substantial energy waste in industrial, commercial and home usage, new solutions are vital.
Power Efficiency Corporation of Las Vegas has pulled through with the single phase motor efficiency controller, which helps reduce electricity in such appliances as washer/dryer machines, refrigerators and other small household devices, by as much as 25 percent.
With a compact design of 1” by 2½”, it has 35 components including a green-printed circuit board that attaches directly on the motor or inside original equipment. “It is even being incorporated in some bowling allies to help reduce the energy on the ball returning machines and the pin setting machines,” says BJ Lackland, CFO of Power Efficiency Corporation.

Power Efficiency’s patented E-Save Technology keeps the single phase motor running at constant operating speeds, but reduces the current and voltage when it detects lighter-than-usual capacity. It’s kind of like the cruise control found on automobiles, keeping the electrical motor operating at a constant speed, by monitoring both voltage and current being fed to the motor.
There is also a three-phase product for larger industrial motors found in plastic granulators, conveying systems, rock-crushing systems, etc., optimizing the energy being used, increasing efficiency, extending motor life and decreasing stress on mechanical systems.
“Energy efficiency is the ‘low-hanging fruit’ of energy solutions,” says Steven Strasser, chairman and CEO of Power Efficiency Corporation. “In developing a line of products that includes our single phase motor, we recognize a simple fact: It is much less expensive, destructive and time-intensive to reduce energy demand through efficiency than to increase energy supply through new power plants and transmission lines.”
