"Energy Saving – Quick Wins With Voltage Optimization"

With energy prices rising at an alarming rate, it is now even more important for businesses to ensure that any opportunities to save energy is thoroughly explored.

One opportunity you may not be very familiar with is Voltage Management or Voltage Optimization.

The theory behind voltage optimization is simple. There is a difference between the voltage supplied to a building and the voltage appliances are designed to operate at more efficiently. On average the voltage across UK business is 242V and due to electrical equipment being manufactured to work across the whole European Union, this means that the optimum operating voltage required by electrical equipment to work most efficiently is more around 220V and 230V. This overvoltage not only costs more, but it also shortens the life of electrical equipment.

The surplus voltage produces additional heat, noise, and vibration, it also causes stress on electrical equipment (particularly motors) and can damage electronic systems like computers and LED lighting which are more vulnerable to overvoltage and fail much sooner. An EnergyAce voltage optimization system ensures that a building only consumes the energy it needs rather than additional energy due to overvoltage supplied from the grid. It does this by optimising the incoming voltage, lowering electricity consumption, to reduce electricity bills, and reduce the wear and tear on electrical equipment.

Benefits of Voltage Optimization include

• Voltage optimization reduces Electricity bills by Up To 20%.
• Works on all circuits within a building all day every day.
• Simple installation – voltage optimization usually installed around 1 hour with no need to change your electricity supplier.
• Voltage optimization increases the life of electrical equipment.
• Can be installed alongside Solar PV and improves efficiency of heat pumps and renewable systems.
• No maintenance required.
• Guaranteed savings.
• 15-year warranty.
