Voltage Optimisation
Voltage optimisation (VO) is the process of systematic reduction in the level of voltages received by a consumer unit.
​
By reducing the supply voltage to your electrical equipment you can reduce your power consumption and energy usage. This process is controlled via voltage adjustment devices which are designed to reduce energy costs and save money.
Why so many businesses are implementing Voltage Optimisation..
In the contemporary landscape, where energy consumption is a pressing concern, businesses and individuals alike are seeking ways to reduce their electricity bills, lower their carbon footprint and make their operations more sustainable. One effective technology for business that has gained significant attention is voltage optimisation, specifically, 3-phase voltage optimisation systems.
Protest ES Ltd provide voltage optimisation solutions, offering high quality voltage optimisers, professional installation and exceptional project support.
How it Works
-
Most UK businesses receive an overvoltage from their grid connection, averaging around 242V.
-
This is substantially higher than the 220V most equipment is designed to work optimally at, causing substantial inefficiencies.
-
Protest ES Ltd install voltage adjustment devices that ensure only the necessary amount of voltage is is reaching the electrical appliance.
Environmental impacts of Voltage Optimisation
Quite simply, voltage optimisation can significantly lower the level of carbon emissions from an organisation.
​
Optimising your incoming voltage to correct levels will not only reduce your energy bills, it will reduce your energy consumption and carbon footprint too. This aligns with sustainability goals and environmental responsibilities.
How Does Voltage Optimisation Save Money?
-
Reduced kw/h consumption
-
Reduction in Demand
-
Authorised Supply Capacity charges
-
Reactive Power Charges reduced
-
Reduced Emissions
-
Significant reductions in CO2 emissions
can be achieved as consumption is normally
directly associated with kw/h consumption.
-
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Main benefits of Voltage Optimisation
Substantial Cost Savings
Our customers have experienced an average reduction of 6-9% off their energy bill. The savings are subject to onsite voltage and load mix.
​
Carbon Emission Reduction
Align with sustainability goals by decreasing your site’s carbon footprint.
​
Maintenance & Repair Cost Reduction
Reduce costs associated with wear and tear on equipment.
​
Equipment Protection
Safeguard sensitive equipment from over-voltage and low magnitude voltage swings.
​
Risk Mitigation
Address operational risks associated with low power quality, and equipment failures.
The Best Types of Equipment to Benefit from Voltage Optimisers
​
A voltage optimiser is an important piece of equipment to help reduce your energy consumption. But where are the best places to install one? It is important you only install them in the places where you’ll see the most improvements. Here are few options for you to consider:
​
Motors - This is a big area where you can make great savings by ensuring your voltage is optimised. It is shown that optimisation of motor systems can help to reduce your power consumption significantly and help you save more money in the long run.
​
Lighting - If you don’t want to consider switching your old magnetic ballast or incandescent lighting to LED lighting, you may want to consider a voltage optimiser. When you optimise your voltage, magnetic ballasts or incandescent light tubes will consume less energy. Switching to LED can save up 85% and a voltage optimiser can increase the savings even further.
