Voltage power optimization in a technique used for reducing the voltage applied to electrical equipment. In this process, the supply voltage is carefully matched to the needs of the electrical equipment for substantial energy saving and extending the equipment’s life expectancy. Some of the most common problems that can be addressed through voltage power optimization include:
1. Voltage
Overvoltage is the input of a higher voltage than required for a piece of electrical equipment to operate at. Overvoltage often results in reduction of the lifetime of equipment, increased power consumption, and performance issues.
2. Harmonics
Harmonics are waveforms of currents and voltages that come about as a result of non-linear loads such as variable speed drives and discharge lighting. High levels of harmonic can damage sensitive electrical equipment.
3. Transients
Brief but large destructive surges in the voltage are called transients. Even though they do not last for more than a second in most cases, the destruction they cause can be significant. Most voltage optimizers these days come with transient protectors, aiding in power factor correction.
4. Phase Voltage Ambience
The 3-phase electricity supplied to most commercial sites and industries needs to be balanced to avoid overheating and wastage of energy. The balancing can be done quite easily using a voltage regulator.
5. Power Dips
Reduction in voltage over a short duration is called a power dip. A power dip is capable of both causing the machinery to stop and dropping out of relays.
