The Root Cause

Where The
Money Goes

Most facilities assume their utility bill reflects actual work being done. It doesn't. A significant portion of every bill is pure waste, energy drawn but never converted into useful output.

  • Reactive Power (kVAR) Waste
    Inductive motors, HVAC, and VFDs draw reactive power that does no useful work, but your utility bills you for the excess amperage it causes. Low power factor means paying for power you can't use.
  • Harmonic Distortion Losses
    Non-linear loads inject harmonics back into your network. Distorted currents flow through neutral conductors, heat transformers, increase eddy current losses, and force every downstream device to work harder than it should.
  • Eddy Current Losses
    Harmonic flux from distorted currents induces eddy currents inside transformer cores, motor laminations, and conductor shielding. These circular currents generate heat without doing any work, increasing core losses and accelerating insulation degradation. ECBS eliminates the harmonic content that drives them.
  • I²R Line Losses
    Harmonic currents reaching 150–180% of phase current in neutrals create enormous resistive heating losses throughout your distribution network. This energy is converted to heat, pure waste that compounds with every added load.
  • Demand Charge Inflation
    Utilities measure peak kVA demand, not just kWh. Poor power factor artificially inflates your peak demand reading, triggering higher demand charges that are often the largest single line item on an industrial electricity bill.

The Mechanism

How Xeco
Cuts The Bill

Unlike capacitor banks that add reactive compensation at one point, the ECBS conditions your entire electrical network simultaneously, attacking every source of waste in real time. The result is a measurable reduction in actual kWh and kW demand drawn, not just an offset on paper.

01 / 04
Phase Current Balancing
Samples circuit impedance 20,000× per second and actively redistributes current across all three phases. Eliminates the neutral current overload that causes I²R losses, the single largest hidden energy cost in most facilities.
95% THDi reduction · <5% neutral current
02 / 04
Harmonic Reduction
The Hybrid Active Power Filter cancels 2nd through 51st harmonics within <50 µs. Unlike passive filters that can resonate and amplify, Xeco sweeps them out of the active bandwidth entirely, reducing eddy current losses and transformer heating by up to 80%.
>20 dB attenuation · 80% less heating
03 / 04
Power Factor Correction
Achieves 0.98+ true power factor, covering both displacement and distortion components, by optimizing current flow rather than adding kVAR. Directly reduces utility demand charges and eliminates PF penalties. Existing capacitor banks are typically decommissioned after installation.
PF >0.98 · 10–20% lower current draw

Network-Wide Optimization
This is the fundamental differentiator. Conventional solutions treat one panel. Xeco's Dockery Process is installed and coordinated across the entire distribution network, from transformer to individual equipment. Power quality improves at every level simultaneously, compounding the savings across all circuits at once.

The Differentiator

Why Xeco,
Not Capacitors

Capacitor banks are the most commonly deployed power factor correction tool. They're also fundamentally inadequate, and in some cases make harmonic problems worse.

01
True PF, Not Displacement PF
Capacitor banks improve displacement PF to ~0.95 at best, and only at the fundamental frequency. Xeco achieves 0.98+ true power factor by addressing both displacement and distortion simultaneously. By optimizing current flow at the source, ECBS also reduces the facility's actual need for kVAR rather than simply adding compensating reactive current. That gap contains significant billable waste.
0.98+ total PF · reduced kVAR demand · vs. ~0.95 displacement only
02
Harmonics Fixed, Not Amplified
Capacitor banks can resonate with harmonic frequencies, amplifying distortion rather than reducing it. The ECBS Hybrid Active Power Filter cancels harmonics 2nd through 51st within <50 µs, actively eliminating distortion rather than risking amplification. Critically, Xeco's system continuously adjusts to real-time load conditions, so harmonic cancellation remains accurate as loads shift throughout the day rather than being fixed to a single operating point.
>95% THDi reduction · real-time load tracking · vs. resonance risk
03
Network-Wide vs. One Panel
A capacitor bank fixes one point. The Dockery Process conditions every circuit from transformer to individual equipment, coordinated across all three phases. The compound savings across the full network far exceed what any point-fix solution can achieve.
Full network coverage, not local compensation
04
Solid-State. No Degradation.
Capacitors degrade and need replacement every 2 to 3 years. The ECBS is solid-state with no consumable components, conditioning your network indefinitely. Unlike traditional capacitors, Xeco does not store energy — it actively conditions current in real time using 60Hz narrow-band tuning to maintain precision at the fundamental frequency without the drift, detuning, or resonance risk that aging capacitor banks introduce. Existing capacitor banks are typically decommissioned entirely after Xeco installation. The ROI compounds over time.
