The High Voltage Problem
Australian voltage supply is high at an average of 244 to 247 volts and fluctuates throughout the day. Equipment supplied to Australia is required to be able to operate within a range of 216 to 253 volts.
The vast majority of electrical equipment is designed to operate optimally at 220 volts and, whilst detrimental to it, can withstand 253 volts. Higher voltage than required will cause increased power consumption, increase greenhouse gas emissions and reduce equipment life.
The Solution – Voltage Regulation
At a business level, voltage management solves the negative impacts of a higher than necessary voltage supply. Voltage management:
- Reduces power consumption and costs;
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions;
- Reduces maintenance; and
- Increases equipment life
With the installation of an Automated Voltage Regulation unit, we can save you upwards of 15 per cent on your energy consumption
Return on Investment
Automated Voltage Regulation units such as EnergyMate can deliver an attractive return on investment (under three years) and are a valuable component in an organisation’s electrical infrastructure.
Repair & Maintenance
A key component to the benefits of the system is the significant savings to the operational aspects of a business. University studies demonstrate the adverse effects of high and variable voltage. Voltage Regulation significantly reduces businesses R&M costs and improves equipment life.
