230V PropSava Single Phase Power Optimisation System - 5 to 60KVA
The PropSava is connected between the electric meter and the property distribution/fuse board.
The PropSava is a hybrid voltage regulator. The PropSava uses a number of transformers, sensors and computer system to measure and manage the incoming main voltage. The output voltage to the property is then maintained at a consistent and stable regulated voltage. Controlling and reducing the voltage into a property has the following benefits:
• Reduces energy costs by up to 17%.
• Reduces CO2 emissions by up to 16%.
• Protects electrical and electronic equipment from spikes and surges.
• Lowers maintenance costs on electric motors (such as refrigerator and freezes, air conditioners,
washing machine, etc.), all types of lighting and all domestic and office electrical equipment.
• Prolongs the life of electrical components through reduced voltage and electrical stresses.
PropSava Protection:
The PropSava protects all electrical equipment in the property from the ills of over and under voltage. It reduces the electrical cost of using electrical appliances and protects all the appliances from the damage caused by both over and under voltage. Electric costs could be reduced by up to 17% and the life expectancy of the electrical equipment in the property could be increased by up to 25%.
"A 230V linear appliance used on a 240V supply will take 4.3% more current and will consume almost 9% more energy.” (UK Electrician’s Guide, 16th Edition BS7671)
PropSava and Security of Supply:
A PropSava will optimise the power supply to the entire electrical load of a property because it is installed at source.
The PropSava has been designed with no moving parts. Voltage optimisation and power quality improvement is achieved through magnetic fields only, and the unit is as reliable as the incoming power supply itself. The unit requires no maintenance, is guaranteed for 10 years and will last for 20-40 years.
The PropSava has been field tested for two years and is efficient across its entire operating range.
Why optimise your electricity supply?
Operating electrical equipment at higher and lower than optimum voltages leads to significantly higher energy consumption and possible damage to electrical lights and appliances.
Over – voltage supply creates four detrimental situations:
1. You use and pay for more electricity than you need.
2. Your appliance works harder than it should and will therefore wear out faster.
3. You will produce more carbon emissions than you necessary.
4. Poor or bad power Harmonics can cause severe damage to new electronic/
electrical devices and at least shorten the life expectancy of the device.
Under – voltage supply creates four detrimental situations:
1. Some appliances will fail to operate if the voltage is too low.
2. Some appliances will become unstable and shut down, such as computers.
3. Your appliances will demonstrate various type of malfunction such as a poor quality picture on
a television; clothes not being washed or dried correctly, vacuum cleaners not cleaning
correctly, steam irons not getting hot enough, electric water heaters taking far too long to
heat the water etc.
4. Some of your electric motors will overheat as they are not running at the correct voltage
(especially washing machines, dishwashers, boiler pumps, fridges etc); will wear out much
faster with have much shorter lives.
Why does over and under voltage occur?
Over and under voltage is generally a chronic problem aggravated by a number of factors beyond the end user's control. Electric utilities try to maintain voltage levels delivered to customers at ±5%. However, factors like weather, high demand and others can cause the utility voltage to fall within a ±10% range. Even under ideal conditions, most customers will see a drop in utility voltage levels over the course of the day as demand begins to increase around 8 AM and peaks around 3 or 4 PM.
Distribution system characteristics can also contribute to chronically low voltage situations. For example, customers at the end of a long distribution line may be subject to a permanent voltage drop due to line losses on top of the utility voltage variations.
What the PropSava does for lighting?
Lighting loads tend to be switched on for a large proportion of the time, so savings on lighting equipment are very valuable.
"A 230V bulb used at 240V will achieve only 55% of it’s rated life.” (UK, IEE Electricians Guide)
The efficiency of any type of lighting will be improved by bringing it to the correct voltage, including systems with resistive or reactive ballasts. Fluorescent lighting will run more efficiently when supplied with the correct voltage - the PropSava delivers all these improvements automatically.
Even lighting controllers can be improved and sensitive equipment is protected.
The environmental benefits of the PropSava:
Under the Kyoto Protocol, many countries are committed to cutting their carbon emissions by up to 12.5% below 1990 levels.
Over-voltage is an under-publicised cause of power supply inefficiencies. The PropSava can reduce emissions by up to 17%. We estimate that up to 90% of European businesses suffer from over-voltage and would save energy by installing a PropSava.
The contribution towards Europe’s carbon-cutting effort over the coming decades will be substantial.
In addition, a PropSava prolongs the life of electrical equipment, reducing non-recyclable waste.
PropSava Savings:
Based on the UK national average voltage (242V), the average optimisation level of a PropSava is 8%, this typically produces power consumption in Kilowatt per hour savings of 13%. However, as the supply voltage does vary slightly across the country and each site will have different power consumption, savings can be seen between 10-18% on around 90% of UK homes and offices.
Slightly lower figures can also be achieved in Europe with the average optimisation level at 6%, Kilowatt per hour savings of 9%, savings can be realised between 8-12% on around 70% of European homes and offices.
Installation:
A qualified electrician must be used to make the installation of the PropSava. The PropSava can be installed inside, or if outside the property, in a waterproof box system, as near as possible to the electric meter. Normal internal installation could take up to 1 hour.
Safety Certification:
The PropSava device is CE marked, and complies with EN55022, EN55024, 61000-3-2, 61000-3-3, IEC60950. It is also undergoing UL/cUL listed product status for .North America (UL 508, Industrial Control Equipment), and also undergoing Japanese (PSE/GSL) and NATA (Australian and S.E.Asian) and CCC (China) accreditation.
PropSava - Power Optimisation System for the Home and Office
The PropSava is one of the most advanced power optimisation system ever produced for Home and Office use. The PropSava is the result of three years of research and development of the 'Contactless System' used by industry and Government Departments on 3 phase systems for the last 10 years. Industry has been reaping the benefits of this system to reduce the costs of power and maintenance of the equipment and appliances they use. Now, AEUK has designed a system that can be used in homes and offices at a fraction of the price of that paid by Industry.
The PropSava uses a contactless system to:
1. Regulate and manage the incoming property voltage.
2. Protects all appliances in the home and office from poor power supply damage thereby
increasing the lifecycle of the appliance, reducing maintenance and costs.
3. Protects all your sensitive electrical equipment from the damage and possible destruction due to
power surges and spikes; especially computers, HI-Fi's and televisions.
4. Reduces your electrical bill costs if there is over voltage supply into your property.
5. Reduces your carbon foot print due to the use of less power to run your appliances and
equipment efficiently.
The PropSava, single phase is also available as a 3 Phase System. Please ask for further details or complete the 3 Phase Quotation Request Form, which is available here:
