Welcome
Voltage Optimisation is an innovative technology which helps companies slash their energy bills by up to 25%. It works by reducing the mains voltage to the level required by electrical equipment, which is often considerably lower than the standard 240V. This eliminates wasted power and provides organisations with a simple way of reducing carbon footprint and contributing towards their Carbon Reduction Commitments.
Voltage Optimisation is backed by over 75 years of experience in the field of high quality power control solutions.
What does Voltage Optimisation do?
"A 230V linear appliance used on a 240V supply will take 4.3% more current and will consume almost 9% more energy.” (UK Electrician’s Guide, 16th Edition BS7671.)
Protection
Firstly it protects all electrical equipment in the property from the ills of over and under voltage. It reduces the cost of using electrical appliances and protects all the appliances from the damage caused by both over and under voltage. Electric costs could be reduced by up to 17% and the life expectancy of the electrical equipment in the property could be increased by up to 25%.
Simply put the Voltage Optimiser will accurately control the incoming voltage in your property to maximise energy savings
Request information on Voltage Optimisation- Reduces energy consumption by up to 25%
- Reduces Harmonics by up to 90%
- Improves Power Factor by up to 20%
- Improves the life expectancy of your equipment
- Comes with 15 years warranty
- Comes with Guaranteed Savings
- Is Fully Designed and Manufactured in the UK
- Provides Voltage Phase Balancing
The system operates by making small reductions in voltage which are matched to the needs of the site. The unit can be applied to main in coming supplies, sub distribution boards or even individual machines.
Cut your energy costs
- Reduces energy costs by up to 17% by optimising the electricity supply voltage and also reduces carbon emissions by the same amount.
- Protects electrical and electronic equipment from spikes and surges.
- Lowers maintenance costs on electric motors (such as refrigerator and freezers, air conditionersand other machinery), lighting (all types) and all domestic and office electrical equipment.
- Lowers operating temperatures of motors and lighting.
- Prolongs the life of electrical components through reduced voltage and electrical stresses.
- Suppresses harmonics that can damage sensitive electronic equipment.
Security of Supply
The equipment will optimise the power supply to the entire electrical load of a property because it is installed at source.
It has been designed with no moving parts. Voltage optimisation and power quality improvement is achieved through magnetic fields only, and the unit is as reliable as the incoming power supply itself. The unit requires no maintenance, is guaranteed for 10 years and will last for 20-40 years.
Electricity supply companies must supply electricity between pre defined limits. In the EU this level is 230V +10% -6% (216V to 252V). All equipment sold within the EU must be capable of operating within these limits. To maintain this under all loadings the supply companies often supply at even higher levels close to the 252 V.
The equipment reduces the voltage to within the EU limits to match the requirements of the site. Relatively small reductions in voltage can make substantial energy savings e.g. a 4 per cent reduction in voltage can lead to savings well in excess of 9 per cent in energy without detriment to plant operations. The unit is fitted with PLC based monitoring showing power, terminal voltage, and percentage saving.
We can also help in the reduction in harmonics on systems where items of plant are controlled using high speed electronic switching devices, such as Inverters and DC speed control units.
