The
Commercial/Industrial market is a bit more complicated than the
Residential market. In the Residential market, we have sized the KVAR
UNIT to work with most houses in the U.S., but, the motors in the Commercial/Industrial
market have to be sized for optimal savings.
The Optimization Sizing
System provides a simple and accurate way for measuring and
optimizing the power factor to unity of individual inductive
loads (motors). All Optimizers size up to 600 volts.
This system consists of three units for sizing:
SINGLE PHASE UNIT we call US1, sizes all single phase
equipment
THREE PHASE UNIT we call US2, sizes fractional motors up
to 75hp
THREE PHASE UNIT we call US3, sizes motors 75hp up to
300hp.
After sizing is completed, a precise analysis, estimated
savings, estimated return on investment and system cost is
prepared for the customer. We then custom build our product
to fit their system.
Depending
upon the rate structure of your electric utility, you may be
able to save a substantial amount of money on your electric
bill. Pay-back period for an equipment purchase including
installation cost may be six months up to three years.
Utility rate structures that account for reactive power
consumption, by either a KVA or var demand usage, or a power
factor penalty are the ones that can provide this pay-back.
Other ancillary benefits to be gained by optimizing power
factor are, lower energy losses, better voltage regulation
and released system capacity.
