BG Controls acquires intelligent voltage optimisation and regulation systems company e-fficient Energy Systems
BG Controls has acquired e-fficient Energy Systems Ltd, which specialises in manufacturing intelligent voltage optimisation and regulation systems, designed to reduce and regulate inefficient voltage supply from the national grid. The benefits of such a system include cost savings and a reduction in carbon footprint of up to 25%. In addition to this, intelligent voltage optimisation and regulation helps to provide a stable power supply, which... [more]
E-Box power optimisation unit enables savings of 45 per cent
Newey & Eyre Specialist Products has adopted the E-Box energy system as the next generation of energy efficiency equipment for customers, enabling savings of as high as 45 per cent. The E-Box is a power optimisation unit that fits between the electricity supply and the lighting load and through a combination of voltage optimisation, power factor correction and harmonic filtration, reduces the energy consumption by stopping wastage. This has th... [more]
powerPerfector Voltage Power Optimiser helps The National Archives save energy
The National Archives is the UK government's official archive, containing over 1,000 years of history. The National Archives are based in Kew in in South West London. The buildings were opened in 1977 as an additional home for the public records. After receiving the annual electricity consumption details for The National Archives, it was possible to give a provisional quote for a powerPerfector unit and to outline the potential for energy sav...

ASDA reduces energy bills with powerPerfector
90% of British businesses – from huge multinationals to hill farms in Wales – pay for more electricity than they actually need because of a little-known fact: the power they receive off the grid is usually at too high a voltage. Everything still works of course, but inefficiently. powerPerfector has been installed at ASDA Pontefract and Clapham. Both ASDA sites had a range of loads, including refrigeration, ventilation and air conditioning, fl... [more]
Honeywell Building Solutions' voltage optimisation system shrinks John Leggott College's energy bills
John Leggott College, a Sixth Form College in Scunthorpe, was experiencing premature failures on many electrical devices and IT equipment in particular. A site report revealed that high voltage supply and harmonics were contributing to these power failures. Honeywell Building Solutions (HBS) has installed and commissioned a voltage reduction unit that is saving John Leggott College over £2,500 in electricity costs every month. Energy speciali... [more]
