What is Voltage Optimisation?

Voltage Optimisation is the foundation of every energy efficiency programme.  It makes the single biggest impact to assist you in achieving your energy saving and carbon reduction targets.

A unique, proven technology

Voltage Optimisation is the unique, proven technology only found in a powerPerfector. It optimises voltage, dealing with the discrepancy between the actual supply voltage you receive (207V - 253V) and the optimum voltage your electrical equipment needs (220V). For the first time ever, it gives businesses, manufacturers, councils and government the opportunity to micro-manage and improve their own power supply.

Cuts your energy use and carbon emissions by up to 20%

Voltage Optimisation cuts your energy use and carbon emissions by up to 20%, your maximum demand by up to 15% and prolongs the life and reliability of all equipment in your premises that runs on electricity - from a £500 laptop and HVAC to a £1m lathe or printer.

Protects the entire electrical infrastructure of your site

Voltage Optimisation creates a more efficient, robust and reliable electrical supply for your site, protecting your entire electrical infrastructure. An increasing number of electrical phenomena adversely affect and degrade your equipment that, in the case of power spikes, can cause catastrophic damage. You may never have experienced these, but such spikes are on the increase and will become more common as the national gap between supply and demand closes. To help fill this, the National Grid has to switch sources at times of high demand.  A powerPerfector unit will protect you from these spikes, all the way up to 25,000 volts.

Voltage Optimisation isn’t the same as voltage reduction

Voltage Optimisation is a unique technology only available from powerPerfector, designed specifically to save energy whilst addressing the problems of over-voltage and poor power quality on today’s grid.

Transformers and autotransformers are an old-fashioned technology, never designed for energy saving - used for this they can only deliver one thing: voltage reduction. The reliability of powerPerfector is proven; there have never been any interruptions to power supply from a powerPerfector failure in over 300,000 units in 15 years.
