Automated power management systems can provide laborsaving ways to visualize and manage an overall operation. Power management systems determine ways to conserve power, control escalating energy bills, allocate energy costs, and reduce maintenance/repair costs. Systems identify poor power quality, correct billing errors, and reduce peak usage surcharges. Customers achieve competitive advantages through operating cost efficiencies gained from reducing energy consumption and extending equipment life.

Power & energy management systems
|
- Power management systems provide critical information needed to implement and verify energy-saving initiatives
- Provide data that enables facility owners to renegotiate lower electrical rates
- Prevents costly power quality problems by identifying/correcting power issues
- Controls demand in order to avoid electrical rate penalties
nema premium motors & variable frequency drive motor controls
|
- Industrial motors consume more than 60% of all industrial electricity
- NEMA Premium® motors can save up to 18% on electricity
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) or Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) better control the
operation of pumps and fans, moderating flow according to usage. This results in increased
energy efficiency and dramatically reduced consumption
- VFDs/ASDs can reduce a motor’s electrical current draw by 10% to 50%

nema tp-1 transformers, power factor correction capacitors,
filters, & reduced-voltage starters
|
|
- NEMA TP-1 transformers reduce operating costs with a typical payback period of 1.5 to 3.5 years
- Capacitors increase the power factor available to run industrial equipment and lower plant electrical costs by increasing the connected load by as much as 20% without increasing the size of transformers, conductors, and protective devices
- Capacitors and filters lower energy costs by supplying power to loads such as HVAC and elevators upon demand decreasing energy consumption and reducing energy loss
- Solid-state, reduced-voltage starters lower peak starting current asmuch as 50%

|
uninterruptible power systems (ups)
|
- Higher efficiency UPSs can result in 50% less power loss while reducing overall building energy costs
