Used by power distribution companies, facilities management, electrical or site services and maintenance engineers to monitor power/energy usage, check voltage and current variations helping them to diagnose any related issues, or to gather data perhaps to make representations to their power supplier. As the product records both voltage and current, users can determine if low voltage is related to high current demands on site, or if the low voltage is being supplied to the site.
Voltage Optimisation (Voltage Optimization).
The average voltage supply from the UKs National Grid is often higher than the ideal operating voltage for most electrical equipment like lighting and motors. For example, a 230V linear appliance used on a 240V supply will take 4.3% more current and will consume almost 9% more electricity. Multiply that across all the appliances in your organisation and that soon adds up. Sites fitted with a voltage optimisation system often achieve reductions in the region of 10-20% for energy consumption, costs and carbon emissions! The first step in voltage optimisation is to monitor and know your present incoming voltage levels, the Electrocorder allows you to determine this. |
