Voltage Optimiser, on top of the cost savings from reduced lighting maintenance
and repairs!
A survey was carried out at the Rivington South Motorway Services site on the M61 and we discovered that voltages were climbing higher than CE and grid tolerances allow. This was due to prevailing high grid voltages in the area, being boosted further still by the solar PV system generation, which is all too common. An ECO MAX EMC250i, (3phase 250A Voltage Optimiser) was installed, which comes with in-built metering and remote monitoring. This reduced the damaging high voltages being applied to the whole site, including the expensive LED light fittings, which no longer fail prematurely. Their solar panels alone are generating 1.6 million KW of energy so the eco-max works in harmony alongside their important Solar PV system to stop the damaging voltages.
Euro Garages, Rivington South also receives an energy saving of 6.9% from the eco-max Voltage Optimiser, on top of the cost savings from reduced lighting maintenance and repairs! This alone allows the whole project to pay for itself in just 20 months!
