Power Factor Correction & Voltage Management Systems

"What is power factor correction and how does it work UK"

Power Factor Correction is a capacitor based device normally installed on the electrical distribution system, its purpose is to improve efficiency known as power factor when operating machines or motors. Power Factor Correction works by automatically switching capacitors in or out of circuit on a varying electrical load to counteract the negative inefficient effects of motors and machines. Power Factor is the difference between Real Power, useful power neededto perform a task and Reactive Power, Power drawn in addition to useful power but does notcontribute to the task, effectively you may be paying for power that’s being wasted which could be likened to a large head on a pint of beer. The ultimate desired power factor is 1.00pf (100% efficient)…

"Power Factor Correction & Voltage Optimisation In High Demand"

Not long now until EnergyAce moves into brand new purpose built premises. The huge demand for EnergyAce in many Industrial and commercial applications and the development of the remote online metering, monitoring and protection systems has resulted in a need to move to a larger factory manufacturing power factor correction, voltage optimisation systems, metering solutions and switchgear. Changes is the way penalties like reactive power is charged on electricity bills means that power factor correction systems are now in high demand and keeping up with manufacture a challenge we have had to meet head on. Energy metering is now a must for all businesses, rising energy costs, changes in the way energy is billed and the need to reduce carbon…

"Welcome To The EnergyAce Team"

EnergyAce are very pleased to announce two new engineers to the family. Please welcome Tom Ryan and Anthony Jaycocks. A significant growth in demand for our EnergyAce Energy Saving System has created a need for two new additional engineers for both our manufacturing department and our field engineering department. Tom joins us after working on numerous electrical engineering projects. His experience will be valuable to us in both manufacturing our energy saving equipment and also in servicing the equipment out in the field. Tom commented “Having previously worked in the renewables industry, I feel it is important for businesses to ensure they are running efficiently in order to cut their costs and to help the environment”. Anthony joins our field…

"What is power factor correction and how does it save energy"

Power Factor Correction is a device that is installed on an electrical system to improve the overall electrical efficiency known as power factor of an electrical supply that operates machines or motors. All motors which can come in the form of a machine, conveyor, mixer, compressor, HVAC, refrigeration, elevator or escalator etc all have an efficiency rating known as power factor. The ultimate desired power factor is 1.00pf (100% efficient) although most motors operate at a much lower efficiency or power factor which when the effects are accumulated on an electrical supply, the results can be as low at 0.50 power factor and commonly around 0.80 power factor on a typical uncorrected industrial electrical supply. The solution is to install…

"What is a Voltage Stabiliser"

A voltage stabiliser is a device that is installed on an electrical supply to maintain and stabilise a suitable voltage level. All mains powered electrical equipment require a voltage input to be maintained within certain limits although equipment receiving voltages outside of these limits may malfunction or fail prematurely. A low supply voltage may cause malfunction and a high supply voltage, serious damage. In some processes it may be crucial to maintain a steady voltage level by installing a voltage stabiliser to ensure voltage levels remain within close limits of ±0.5% or ±1%. The nominal voltage throughout the UK is 230v / 400v although in reality the average voltage throughout the UK when measured is 242 / 419v and while…

"Welcome to the Team"

EnergyAce are very pleased to welcome Philip Gore to the sales and marketing team. A significant and sustained increase in demand for the EnergyAce Energy Saving System has generated a need for additional sales and marketing support in our busy Skelmersdale office. Philip joins us after successfully completing a BA (Honours) degree in International Business from Leeds Beckett University and is already getting to grips with the day to day demands of a very busy sales office. Gary Vizard the MD commented “Phil is a great lad, an enthusiastic, highly motivated person who has shown a strong desire to help the customer, he is well organized with great communication skills, his enthusiasm really shines through and he is already proving…

"Power Efficient Systems Has Evolved"

Following a very successful rebrand of Power Efficient Systems in 2015 which saw the company trade under its exclusive EnergyAce brand, the company is now proud to announce the complete transition with a formal name change taking effect from May 2018. EnergyAce Ltd continues in the tradition of Power Efficient Systems Ltd in manufacturing high quality innovative energy savings systems and power quality solutions from its manufacturing facility based in Skelmersdale UK. Gary Vizard the MD commented “this completes the transition from a small back street panel builder some 16 years ago to a Global Solution Provider of high quality UK manufactured energy saving systems and although it is sad to see the name that enabled this transition to fade…

"Abduction !"

Following the abduction of Henry during a recent break in, all the staff and especially Adam have been distraught at the sad loss of such a trusted partner and colleague A recent police report has concluded that it very unlikely that we will ever see Henry again which has not helped Adams anxiety in the slightest. However! James turned up for work today all ready for action in his high visibility uniform. We all know a Henry is for life, not just for Christmas and we know he will never be replaced although James is such a ray of sunshine and Adam just loves him. Every cloud has a silver lining – stay positive. If you do see Henry please…

"Power Factor Correction is Cool it’s 30oC Today"

There was a mad scramble to pick up this month’s work sheets as we revealed which engineers were flying to the Seychelles to carry out the second round of an energy reduction program which initially commenced January 2017 at one of our clients manufacturing sites. This followed a detailed energy survey and the manufacture of energy saving solutions in the form of three detuned power factor correction banks to raise efficiency from 71% to 99% and reduce the maximum demand by 30%. 2017 was an impressive year for exports with solutions traveling to many areas of Africa and the Middle East along with a number of European Destinations, 2018 looks like being the same with significant orders already secured for…
