What is EffiEnergy® and Its Core Solution?
EffiEnergy® is all about smart energy savings through voltage regulation. Their flagship product, Effi-Save®, offers a clever way to reduce electricity consumption by 5-15%, depending on the devices and how they’re used. The idea is simple yet powerful: by regulating and lowering voltage within the European standards (IEC 60038 and EN 50160), businesses and institutions can cut down on their energy bills without compromising performance. These standards allow the nominal voltage to vary by +/-10%, and electrical equipment is designed to handle this variation safely.
Main Benefit: Significant Electricity Savings
Here’s the lowdown on what EffiEnergy® brings to the table:
- Electricity consumption reduction of up to 15%
- Voltage regulation technology that boosts energy efficiency and cuts losses
- Savings achieved without impacting business activities or user comfort
- Improved safety of electrical installations
- Extended lifespan of equipment, enhancing return on investment
Understanding the Electrical Architecture
Electricity consumption isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s made up of three main types of consumers:
- Constant power consumers, like electric motors
- Constant energy consumers, such as electric ovens
- Constant impedance loads, which include all the cables and wiring
Here’s the kicker: lowering voltage only saves energy on constant impedance loads. This is backed by the VDE-AR-E 2055-1 standard. So, the magic happens where it counts, without messing with devices that need steady power or energy.
How Effi-Save® Works in Practice
Effi-Save® regulates the voltage supplied to electrical installations, smoothing out unexpected fluctuations in the network. This means better productivity and comfort for users, as their equipment runs more reliably. Plus, it reduces electricity losses, which translates directly into cost savings. The technology is designed to work seamlessly, so businesses don’t have to worry about disruptions or downtime.
Real-World Success Stories
Big names like L’Oréal have already seen the benefits. By installing Effi-Save® voltage regulators at their industrial sites, they’ve managed to cut down their energy bills significantly. EffiEnergy® also actively shares its expertise at industry events like the SIRHA trade show and energy forums, spreading the word about how voltage regulation can be a game-changer for energy efficiency.
