Three questions to ask your voltage optimisation supplier
More and more companies and organisations around the UK are utilising voltage optimisation in order to reduce the electricity voltage supplied to their sites. Doing so saves them energy, Co2 emissions and money thanks to a lowered electricity bill. When it comes to choosing a voltage optimisation supplier, it pays to ask them three questions at the outset, to ensure they are the right company for you. Here, voltage optimisation experts Ecoadapt (http://www.ecoadapt.co.uk/) shares these three questions.
1. What happens when the voltage input to my site drops by 10v?
Fluctuations in voltage are central to the issue of voltage optimisation so your voltage reduction system needs to be able to perform accordingly. The second generation voltage optimiser from Ecoadapt, for instance, guarantees an optimal output voltage of 220v regardless of any voltage fluctuations being caused by the UK national grid.
2. Can you guarantee that the output voltage from your system will always give me sufficient voltage to run all the plant safely?
Saving energy and saving money is all very well, but it is imperative that any site has enough voltage to run effectively. Every company wants to reduce electric costs, but not at the expense of the efficient running of the business. Any power reduction system has to be robust enough to optimise voltage safely, thereby saving energy without compromising operations. It’s also vital that all equipment used is not harmed or affected by voltage volatility with the voltage optimisation system you choose.
3. What happens in the future if we have even more grid voltage volatility?
Unfortunately voltage volatility looks like it’s here to stay for the foreseeable future. That’s because the UK has an outdated national grid which can no longer be relied upon to provide safe and continual voltage levels. Extremes of weather make this voltage variance worse, and global warming is increasing the instances of extreme weather in the UK. Added to this the fact that the closing of the nuclear and coal fired power stations in the UK could create a power shortage in as little as two or three years and you should be asking how future-proofed your voltage optimisation system is. Second generation voltage optimisation from Ecoadapt allows you to stabilise the output voltage at 220v regardless of the national grid input, providing savings which can be as high as 50%.
Ask these three simple questions to any potential voltage optimisation system provider and you should get a clear idea of whether they are fully equipped to help you save energy and lower bills without sacrificing your company’s operations.
