Subject: Power Planner III Test

The New York State Electric and Gas Corporation (NYSEG) has tested the Power Planner III to
reduce energy consumption at its power plants.

The PPIII was installed on the #2 House Service Air Compressor at the Jennison Station in Bainbridge, NY.
This compressor is a 75 HP, Sullair screw compressor that runs continuously.

The PPIII reduced power consumption by 18% and reduced inrush current by 0.46 kiloamps, or 63%.
Based on a power replacement cost of $0.04 per kilowatt hour, the calculated annual savings are $3,819.36,
which equates to a material payback of 5.81 months.

The speed of the motor did not change when checked with a strobe light.
The temperature of the motor did not change.

Attached are the display screens for the Fluke 43 meter used to take the measurements.
The screens show the power display for one phase and the inrush current before and after the PPIII.

If I can provide any additinal information, please do not hesitate to call.

Yours truly,

Berton L. Marker
