Power regulation of electrical loads to provide reduction in power consumption

A power regulation system coupled to a three-phase AC power source, each phase providing an input voltage related to neutral, respectively, comprising:

• on each phase,
• a. a first transformer, comprising:
• i. a winding having a first end and a second end electrically coupled to the phase and neutral, respectively, to receive the input voltage from the phase;
• and
• ii. a movable wiper arm having a wiper, an output node and a body therebetween, wherein the movable wiper arm is movable continuously between the second end and the first end of the winding so that a control voltage is generated between the output node and the second end within a range of from 0 volts to at least the input voltage;
• and
• b. a second transformer, comprising:
• i. a primary coil having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is electrically coupled to the output node and the second end is electrically coupled to neutral to receive the control voltage from the first transformer;
• and
• ii. a secondary coil having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is electrically coupled to the phase;
• c. a first circuit breaker electrically coupled between the phase and the first end of the winding of the first transformer;
• d. a second circuit breaker electrically coupled between the output node of the first transformer and the primary coil of the second transformer;
• and
• e. a shunt contactor electrically coupled across the primary coil of the second transformer,
• wherein the first circuit breaker and the second circuit breaker are in parallel to each other and in series with the shunt contactor;
• wherein the primary coil and secondary coil are electromagnetically coupled to each other and so arranged that when the control voltage from the first transformer is applied to the first end and the second end of the primary coil, an output voltage is generated between the first end and the second end of the secondary coil;
• wherein the output voltage is substantially 180° out of phase from the input voltage so as to generate between the first end of the secondary coil and neutral an effective voltage that is less than the input voltage and substantially equals to the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage.
