Power Factor Correction Increases Efficiency & Saves Money - Electricity Saver Ireland

DUNDALK, Ireland - May 20, 2013 - PRLog -- Electricity Saver Ireland has been successfully treating power factor in businesses large and small across Ireland, for many years now, and positive feedback from the customer base continues to grow.  

Let us explain the principle of power factor correction, a little more -  

Power Factor is a measure of how efficiently electrical power is consumed. In an ideal world Power Factor would be “unity” or 1; or in other words your electrical appliance would use all of the power coming into your premises efficiently.

Unfortunately, in the real world highly inductive loads reduce Power Factor. This induction is caused by equipment such as lightly loaded electric motors, luminaire transformers and fluorescent lighting ballasts and welding sets, etc.

In effect the power being delivered to your premises usually spikes to levels beyond what is normally required for most types of electrical equipment, and as a result, you the customer ends up paying for this excess based on what is delivered, rather than what is required, and as a result a significant percentage of the electricity that you end up paying for in your electricity bill is simply wasted.

Our equipment is always installed at the source just after the Supply Meter so that we can treat all of the power coming into your premises, therefore optimizing the efficiency of your usage as well as maximizing your savings.

The benefit of this process is to smooth out the voltage spikes in your supply and deliver it to your electrical equipment at the optimal frequency it is designed to operate on and as an added benefit, it will also extend the lifespan of your appliances.

Excess electricity from the voltage spikes is temporarily stored in the capacitors incorporated within the treatment units, and is then released to the appliances at the correct and balanced frequency. This ensures that you get full benefit of all of the electricity that you are paying for, and as a result the overall kilowatt-hours supplied to your premises is reduced, which means significant savings for you.
