Voltage Optimisation is an electrical energy saving method which is installed in series with the mains electricity supply thus providing an optimum supply voltage for the site's equipment. Power quality will improve as it balances phase voltages and filters harmonics and transients from the supply.
Voltage Optimisation is a very effective method of saving energy and reducing electricity consumption and cost. The UK has a known national problem of over voltage. Declared electricity supply in the UK is 230V and voltage can be anywhere between 216.2V and 253V depending on local conditions and demand. A mixture of old equipment rated at 240V and new rated at 230V is likely to be found in most premises. By efficiently bringing supply voltages to the lower end of the statutory voltage range, voltage optimisation technology could produce average energy savings of around 13-20%. Reducing the voltage by 5% will result in average savings of approx. 10%.
Voltage Optimisation is effective for almost any site with an electrical load, irrespective of sizes and type of operation and most will benefit in the form of reduced energy consumption, energy cost and lower CO2 emissions.
