The Tron Box works when the electrical load in your house is low, like at
|
|||
|
|
night... It reverses the phase on the line, canceling out the opposite phase.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The voltage and frequency remain the same, so everything operates as normal,
|
|||
|
|
just with a reverse phase. The reverse phase, in effect will cause the
|
|||
|
|
electric meter to run slower, and at a very low consumption times, even
|
|||
|
|
backwards...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But remember to turn the thing off once and a while, and don't leave it on
|
|||
|
|
while in Hawaii... or you'll be getting a 'Visit'...

|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wire the circut as shown in the diagram, with the three capacitators in
|
|||
|
|
parrallel, using wire capable to handle 120 volts - at least 20 ga. stranded
|
|||
|
|
or solid (if you can work with it). Put the resister, fuse, and switch into
|
|||
|
|
the circut serieswise. Secure project into the insulated box, connect the
|
|||
|
|
power cord to the leads and plug into an A/C source. Set the switch to on...
