Specifying a bypass switch can be as important to an energy saving installation as the VO that is chosen

Specifying a bypass switch can be as important to an energy saving installation as the Voltage Optimisers (VO) that is chosen. The fast-growing trend for supermarkets, hospitals and hotels, to fit VOs as an energy-saving device is being billed as a commercial ‘no-brainer’. But there are warnings that if too little attention is paid to the risks of installing an optimiser without ensuring continuity of supply, then the impact on an organisation co... [more]

Underground electric cable with faulty or damaged insulation could have caused the death of racehorses
