Voltage Optimisation Working in the Waste Management Industry

Improving power quality with voltage optimiser

Augean Enhances Power Quality and Cuts Energy Costs with Voltage Reduction

Augean, a leading waste management company, had identified a need to improve their site’s overall power quality, as well as reducing energy costs. Usually, a site may see voltages fluctuating between 236v – 244v, but Augean were experiencing swings between 220v – 253v, which is the maximum amount allowed in the UK. This meant that a change in the supply affected them greatly, mainly in the form of surges which damaged the electrical equipment and shortened its lifespan. 

By installing a voltage optimiser, Augean took control of their electrical supply for energy efficiency gains. As well as reducing their incoming power by eight per cent, which restricted their maximum voltage to 232v, they also set the auto inhibit at 220v to prevent a drop in supply. From reducing the impact of power surges, Augean were able to increase the lifespan of their equipment by 46 per cent, while making an energy saving of 8.45 per cent on their total annual electricity bill. They also removed over 20 tonnes of carbon emissions from the environment each year.
