Energy Management, power factor correction and surge protection is a hot topic right now; everyone is talking about it. V-Blox, a leading energy management company is dedicated to bringing it’s customers the best equipment possible. The equipment helps save energy, reduce downtime and maintanence costs all while helping the environment. Here are just a few examples of what others are saying:
U.S. Department of Energy – “Low Power Factor is expensive and inefficient. Low Power Factor also reduces your electrical system’s distribution capacity by increasing current flow and causing voltage drops. Low power factor is caused by inductive loads (such as motors, transformers, etc.).”
“Some of the benefits of improving your Power Factor are: 1) your utility bill will be smaller. 2) Your electrical system’s branch capacity will increase. Uncorrected power factor will cause power losses in your distribution system. You may experience voltage drops as power losses increase. Excessive voltage drops can cause overheating and premature failure of motors and other equipment.”
FPL – Florida Power and Light- “FPL is not responsible for damage to motors from power abnormalities (surges). Surge protection should be considered for installation at any breaker panel that has motors attached to it. Surge protection can help reduce damage to a motor’s windings from external spikes, as well as reduce damage to customer equipment from power spikes generated by large motors starting and stopping.”
Xcel Energy – “Save energy and lower operating costs when you optimize your motors.” “Improve Power Factor.” “even small improvements in motor efficiency will translate to significant energy savings” “A power factor correction device can cut your costs” “Surges, transients, sags and momentary interruptions can damage your equipment – Protect your business equipment with transient voltage surge suppressors.”
Now you are probably asking youself how can you save energy for your business? It’s simple, contact V-Blox to have a Energy Specialist come and provide you with a free energy analysis.
