Powerstar triple-wound voltage optimisation system

With overvoltage a common problem in Australia, voltage optimisation is emerging as a practical solution to maximise energy savings and carbon reductions. Powerstar is a triple-wound voltage optimisation system with a patented design that actively reduces a considerable percentage of electrical energy consumption. The multiaward-winning system, which has been saving energy and reducing carbon emissions for over a decade, has a full range of fixed, variable (Powerstar Max) and domestic (Powerstar Home) voltage optimisation solutions.

Powerstar has been installed successfully across a wide range of industries in Australia, including government departments, supermarkets and cold storage facilities, all of which are said to have seen good results: the system generally achieves average savings on electricity consumption of 12-15%, reduces electricity bills and cuts carbon emissions.

The solution, which is fully designed and manufactured in the UK and which holds Sheffield accreditation, offers a host of additional benefits, including: a significant reduction in harmonics (electrical noise) and enhanced power quality; no moving parts, therefore no maintenance; increased life expectancy of electrical equipment; and no negative impact on facilities or services.

In addition, as it is not an off-the-shelf product but an engineered solution, every unit is custom built to match building requirements and the project-led approach means that the company works with clients to ensure that the highest possible savings are realised.
