Residential
When it comes to electrical use, today's home is much different than it was even a decade ago. With rising energy costs and the use of electronics continuing to increase with no end in sight, our electrical systems need to be more efficient and at the same time provide better quality power. Surges, spikes and electrical noise provide a very real threat to the appliances and electronic devices in our homes. There has never been a better time for a Whole House Energy Management System.
PowerwoRx e3 by Continental Power Corporation is a Whole House Energy Management System based on the same unique technology used for over 15 years in the PowerwoRx commercial product line. PowerwoRx e3 provides the best possible energy savings and Total Home Protection which includes three key benefits:
- Equipment Protection
- Electrical Noise Filtration
- Energy Savings
Equipment Protection
PowerwoRx e3 is like having an ELECTRONIC BODYGUARD for your home or business! PowerwoRx technology provides Surge and Spike Suppression, a feature that will help protect and extend the useful life of your electrical equipment. A combination of the PowerwoRx e3 harmonic resistant capacitors and metal oxide varistors (MOV's) give the home owner the maximum protection and peace of mind available on the market today. The external lights on the PowerwoRx e3 unit provide an easy visual indicator that the system is protecting your home.
Continental Power Corporation provides a $25,000 policy covering on the homes electronics and appliances connected to the electrical system when protected by the PowerwoRx e3. In the event of a surge or spike damaging appliances or electronics in a home where the PowerwoRx e3 is properly installed, and the PowerwoRx e3 fails to arrest the surge or spike, Continental's insurer will pay up to $25,000 total/$2,500 coverage per item.
For more details on this exceptional coverage provided at no cost to every residential user of the PowerwoRx e3 read the PowerwoRx e3 Warranty Card (PDF).
Electrical Noise Filtration
PowerwoRx e3 technology provides Harmonic Filtration which has become more important since the 1980s and almost mandatory in the 21st century due to the proliferation of computers, fax and copy machines and variable speed motors which are known as "nonlinear loads". "Nonlinear loads" ask for and use electric current in pulses unlike traditional electrical equipment. This pulse use of electrical current creates damaging noise, interference and heat.
Energy Savings
PowerwoRx e3 provides energy savings by reducing the amount of power drawn from your utility with the use of specially designed harmonic resistant capacitors. PowerwoRx e3 systems optimize your homes power factor thus reducing the amount of energy your homes motor loads use such s air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, pool pumps, vacuum cleaners, furnace blower motors, fans etc. Motor loads (inductive loads) inherently require more energy to do their work compared to other electrical equipment in your home. The PowerwoRx e3's Power Factor Optimization significantly increases the efficiency of your motor load and stores waste energy resulting in decreased demand and usage of electricity from your utility company. This can equate to cost savings of typically 5% - 15% for you, the homeowner. Actual results vary depending on the inductive loads.

A unique application of proven technology, the PowerwoRx Clean Power System (CPS) provides your business with the electrical power conditioning capabilities previously available only to the largest facilities and installations. The PowerwoRx Clean Power System is easy to install by your licensed electrician and provides immediate benefits for the user. In one cost-effective and maintenance-free package, PowerwoRx provides Power Factor Correction, Complete Surge and Spike Suppression, and Noise Filtration.
PowerwoRx Clean Power Systems dramatically reduce operating expenses by saving energy, lowering maintenance costs and extending the useful life of motors and machinery.
- Satisfaction Guarantee
- 10 Year Limited Product Warranty
- System Generally Pays for Itself Within 2 Years
PowerwoRx has assembled and configured these functions in a manner that provides the most simple and cost-effective way in which to utilize the technology. These are proven technologies and methods for achieving the specified ends. All PowerwoRx models share the following characteristics:
- Placed in parallel into AC systems, either at the main power panel for a facility or at some sub-panel within the distribution system.
- Physically mounted on a wall near the panel of choice and connected to the panel via conduit and a dedicated circuit breaker.
- Installed throughout a facility, generally near major inductive loads such as motors, driving pumps and HVAC units.
- Maintenance-free, solid-state devices with no moving parts; not meant to be opened or serviced during their operating life.
- Satisfaction Guarantee and a 10 Year Limited Warranty
- Listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) in the Industrial Control Equipment Category of Products
PowerwoRx also protects the environment. Each year, a typical industrial PowerwoRx unit can save electricity, achieving saved natural resources, lower atmospheric emissions and reduced hazardous waste.
The PowerwoRx Clean Power Systems is designed to provide the following benefits for the commercial/industrial user:
- Protection of Sensitive Office Equipment (i.e. computers, printers, copiers and fax machines)
- Energy Savings to Inductive Loads (i.e. pumps, compressors, fans and motors)
- Power Factor Correction (enhanced energy usage and economy)
- Lower Operating Temperatures for Motors
- Lower Maintenance costs of Electrical Equipment
- Prolonged Life of Electrical Equipment
- Reduced Electricity Demand
- Reduced Electrical Noise

Government Incentives
The Federal government and some State government agencies offer incentives for the installation of energy savings devices. The following link provides a database of State incentives. As an example of the success of these programs, many Continental Power Corporation customers in Pennsylvania have successfully used the Small Business Advantage Grant Program to help fund the purchase and installation of Continental PowerwoRx equipment.
