How Do Power Quality Analyzers Help Improve Electric Power Efficiency?

 When people who are constantly being bummed because of blackouts and burnouts, the rising price of electricity only adds to their worry. However, installation of equipment such as an electric power quality analyzer helps keep a check on electric power efficiency. In addition to curbing power wastage in a facility, these also help reduce the burden on your electrical supplier. 

A good quality analyzer can help you efficiently calculate the power cleanliness, demand, and actual consumption at a facility. Power cleanliness can be defined as the harmonics that are observed in the electric supply due to fluctuating loads. These harmonics result in the improper functioning of the electrical equipment that can lead to overheating, wear and tear, tripping of circuit breakers, and other dangerous situations that can cause fire hazards. Other than that, the equipment also helps accurately find out the average amount of power required by a device to work properly by taking into account the power needed during peak time, as well as low load phases.

After you are done with analyzing the electricity and the amount of consumption, you can also come up with a power factor. Low power factor suggests more power wastage and this is the very metric that assists the experts in taking corrective measures. You can find an analyzer designed for a single phase or three phase systems depending upon your requirement.

4 Reasons Why Switching to LED Lighting Retrofit Is A Wise Decision

 A lot of people believe that switching to an LED lighting retrofit is expensive when in fact it is a rather efficient and affordable way of upgrading lighting in any facility without replacing the existing fixtures. These are more energy efficient, light up instantly, do not give off UV emissions, and are 100% recyclable. LED lighting retrofits have a lot of benefits to offer but energy savings clearly top the list. Here’s how -

1. LEDs consume approximately 50% lesser energy than their traditional incandescent, fluorescent, or halogen lighting counterparts. They can work wonders when you keep the lights in your apartment or facility on for prolonged periods of time. Their directional lighting ability ensures that no energy gets wasted and you get better returns on your investment.

2. LED lighting solutions have a much better life span than fluorescent bulbs or traditional incandescent bulbs and hence, do not need frequent repairs or replacement. They last for at least 30,000 hours while the fluorescent bulbs have a maximum life expectancy of 10,000 hours. While they offer flawless lighting, they also help reduce energy consumption by a great extent.

3. LED lights are built with sturdy components and that explains why the chances of them experiencing damage because of shock, vibrations, and external impacts are next to negligible.

4. Rapid cycling often results in shorter life expectancy for traditional light bulbs while LEDs remain unaffected by it. Quite evidently, LED lights are just as well-suited for daylight sensors as they are for commercial flashing light displays.

Icopower ESCO is a manufacturer-neutral provider of energy-efficient lighting solutions and thus, focuses entirely on reliable, high quality, high electric power quality, and cost-effective lighting products. They use a combination of industry experience, manufacturing partnerships, and logistical capabilities to design solution-oriented packages around each client's particular goals.
