Alaskans who pay electrical bills always wonder, "Wouldn't it be great if electricity was energy efficient and saved money?"

Now you can get these benefits with a simple yet innovative technology called USES. On the market in the United States for three years, USES is marketed on the West Coast by Western Smooth Power, Inc., based in Anchorage.

Incredible Technology

A small unit that is easily installed on an electrical panel, USES uses parallel, wrap-around magnetic chokes which sense magnetic fields running through electrical currents. When USES detects irregularities in these magnetic fields, such as power surges and spikes, it generates a signal that makes the electrical current smooth and steady.

As a result, with USES your electrical system runs with a balanced load. No power is wasted. Devastating power surges and spikes disappear. The improved efficiency of your electrical power decreases your kWH and kW usage, lowering your electrical consumption by an average 16 percent.

And that's only the beginning of the benefits USES provides. Efficient electricity protects your equipment - from computers to communications devices to motors and machines - from spikes and surges. Running more efficiently, your equipment needs less maintenance and lasts longer.

Proven Performance

"USES has been tested and approved," says Mitchell Lyman, another partner with Western Smooth Power. "Underwriter's Laboratories thoroughly tested USES and listed (File Number E132743) the following findings for USES regarding inductive loads: it suppresses voltage surges and spikes; reduces total harmonic current contents; helps to balance loads on all phases; reduces current on line and neutral; reduces line-transmitted and motor/appliance generated noise; improves voltage regulation; helps reduce wattage; and improves power factor."

By promoting energy savings, USES also aids environmental conservation. It has been accepted to the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Light Manufacturer Ally Program...
