Energy saving by voltage reduction
May 1st 2007

Claude Lyons has adapted the design of its TS range of voltage stabilisers that correct extreme supply voltage fluctuations, as experienced in developing countries, to produce the PowerSave energy saving regulators. The PowerSave sets up the conditions that allow the appropriate loads to make the saving which is said to be up to 25%, as well as significantly increasing equipment life. PowerSave can be installed at the incoming low voltage (415V/240V) to the site, allowing full independent site control over the phase output voltages. The outputs are self-adaptive and automatically adjust within their correction range to a predetermined value.

This feature will allow precise voltage reduction to accommodate fluctuating incoming voltages, site voltage drops and specific requirements of critical loads. An additional benefit of this method of voltage reduction is achieving phase voltage balance, improving the efficiency of motors and making additional savings.
