We currently have a voltage of approx 240 s/p 430 3/p in the building where I work, and the management are looking into a company who can reduce our voltage via secondary transformers in the promise to save us about 17% in running costs
We use a lot of 3p motors to run conveyor equipment, and s/p for lighting and general power ballanced over the phases, using flourescent and HID lamps, can we expect to see any benefits, or indeed problems with this reduction
Assuming our max demand remains the same, surely our Kw/hour will remain constant also, and costs will remain constant also? Will reducing the voltage simply mean that amperage will increase and nothing else? I cant seem to see the logic in this, but I'm not a technical gury so would like to hear your opinions
Heres a link to the providers http://www.marshalltufflexenergy.com/voltis/how-does-it-work/
Many thanks
