Why Manage Your Electricity?
Electricity that comes to your home from a substation has characteristics that
are not ideal for your home or business, namely a poor Power Factor (PF). A poor
PF can result in wires and motors overheating, shortening the life of your
appliances or equipment and putting your electrical system at risk. When the PF
is improved, motors will be more efficient due to them starting with less stress
and running cooler, thus prolonging their life expectancy.
If you experience any static 'noise' on your phone or TV, the XPS Electricity
Management Systems may reduce or eliminate the static by reducing noise on the
powerline. Powerline noise can also damage sensitive electronic equipment like
computers, wireless devices and more. It can even cause data loss if phone lines
or a cable service is used for an internet connection.
Lastly, the XPS manages voltage transients. These are parasitic voltage spikes
created by electronic sources in your home or business. These voltage spikes, if
not managed, can reduce the life expectancy of appliances and can even cause
light bulbs to burn out prematurely.
Now, thanks to the XPS Electricity Management Systems, there is a smart way to
manage your home's or business's energy 24/7, reducing your electricity demand.
Here's How It Works!
XPS Electricity Management Systems improve the Power Factor by reducing the
amount of reactive power that the load draws from the utility company. This is
accomplished by supplying the reactive power locally at the load by the use of
specifically designed capacitors. These capacitors store the reactive power
needed for stabilizing electric current within an inductive load.Therefore, the
amount of reactive power purchased from the power company results in "lower
utility costs if the power factor clause is enforced or the utility charges for
the kVA demand."
