Carbon Trust Recommends Power Factor Correction - Reduce Electrical Waste and Save Money in Business

DUNDALK, Ireland - May 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Power Factor Correction has long been known about to large scale business across the world, but it is only now becoming available to medium and small size business, as business owners seek to gain every advantage they can, in a business environment of rising utility costs, and frequently both lower volume, and lower margin sales.

As the Carbon trust elucidates on their website -

Poor power factor has negative implications for businesses because it:
• Draws more current from the network – costing more to achieve the same tasks.
• Can incur a ‘poor power factor penalty’ from the supplier, sometimes called a ‘reactive power charge’.
• Reduces the effective capacity of the electrical supply, the more reactive power that is carried, the less useful power can be carried.
• Causes losses at transformers and other devices, leading to inefficiency and unwanted heat gains.
• Can cause excessive voltage drops in the supply network.
• Can reduce the life expectancy of electrical equipment in extreme cases.

And this is why Electricity Saver Ireland has been working so hard with businesses across Ireland for the last four years, proving the value of this technology to business.

If you're doing business in Ireland today, and electricity represents one of the significant costs in your business, then you owe it to the business to investigate if the introduction of power factor correction equipment into your business can seriously reduce your energy spend.
