I work in the Brandeis University High Energy Physics Lab. We did a study on the KVAR Energy Controller. We found that the KEC is nothing more than a capacitor in a box. In order to save money and energy, power correction must be done at the device, not at the breaker panel. That means that in all but very strange and specific situations, different KECs would have to be applied at each load whose power factor you want corrected. Here is a link to our report:
