Power Factor Correction

Power factor is the ratio of active power (the power flowing to a system/appliance) vs the amount it uses to perform its function. A device’s power factor represents how effectively that device is using the power supplied to it – essentially its electrical efficiency. Devices with high power factors make better use of the power being […]

Do you know if your lighting levels are up to standard?

Lighting in your workplace is critically important to your staff’s ability to accomplish tasks efficiently and safely. In addition, proper light levels prevent eye strain, which allow us to work comfortably for longer periods of time. Light is measured using lumens and lux. Lumens are used to measure the amount of light being given out […]

Using Regenerative VSD Braking to improve your energy efficiency

When an electric car brakes, its kinetic energy is converted into electricity and returned to the car’s batteries to extend the driving distance. This same principle, Regenerative Braking, can also be applied to electric motors used in a wide variety of industrial applications where frequent braking is required or when stopping high inertia loads. Examples […]

Gas monitoring – keeping your site & staff safe

  Manufacturing industries use chemicals and machinery that can produce dangerous levels of poisonous gases. The presence of these gases can be apparent through their pungent smell, but others are odourless and tasteless making them particularly hazardous. The most common types of toxic gasses found in industrial workplaces include ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, chlorine, carbon monoxide […]
