Energy saving specialist Marshall-Tufflex has produced
new literature outlining ways in which electrical
contractors can offer domestic and commercial customers
solutions to reduce electricity bills and cut carbon
emissions.
Its recently launched ‘Energy Saving Products’ brochure
gives details of three systems designed to reduce
electricity bills:
Voltis Home is aimed at the domestic market and is the most
efficient domestic voltage optimisation system available,
returning power savings of up to 18%. The single-phase
system is quick to fit (a qualified electrician will take
less than an hour to complete the task) and is installed
between the incoming mains and consumer unit. Voltis Home
measures 300mm x 240mm x 147mm and is available in two
versions – the standard VH60 unit for incoming voltage of up
to 243Volts and the VH60HD version for incoming voltage of
up to 253Volts. It can be installed in any building with a
single-phase power supply and continual load of under 40Amps
(Voltis Home will take loads of 60Amps for short periods and
is rated to 100Amps in bypass mode).
Sinergy e-Tracker is a portable kWH sub-metering system that
analyses power supply to show patterns of demand over an
hour, day, week or month. Installation is quick and
non-invasive using clip-on CTs. It is perfect for energy
waste analysis and for machine trials and maintenance to
identify changes in power usage. Data is managed by
downloading via a USB memory stick into our Deltrax5
software or through Excel.
Sinergy k-Wattch is the little brother of e-Tracker and
offers a robust and highly portable mains or
battery-operated energy analyser that can measure single and
three phase devices, giving instant readings or recording
and storing data for download to a USB memory stick.
K–Wattch can be used as a multi-parameter electrical meter
to display all line currents and kVA demands or connected to
a single phase socket for measurement of voltage, current,
power factor, kW and kVA. Data is analysed using Deltrax
software. Its non-invasive 32mm CTs simply clip round
cables. K–Wattch is particularly relevant for users with no
permanent solution for energy monitoring in place and who
require a flexible, portable system that can go virtually
anywhere and give instant readings.
