  • Patent number: 11424069
    Abstract: An alternating current neutral and ground inductive electromagnetic rectification unit includes a first and second reactor connectable to a neutral and a ground of an existing circuit respectively. The first redactor includes a first pair of inductive coils, each coil disposed interior to a nonconductive tube. The second redactor includes a second pair of inductive coils, each coil also disposed interior to a nonconductive tube. The first pair of inductive coils are connected together in parallel, and also connected at opposing extremes terminating the neutral. The second pair of inductive coils are also connected in parallel, at opposing extremes of the ground. The first and second redactors are surrounded by an insulating matrix set within the housing. Once connected to the ground and neutral, the first and second redactors establish a magnetic field that redacts harmonic interference emerging on the neutral thereby increasing efficiency and power factor across the circuit.
