What is voltage optimisation?
Voltage optimisation is an energy efficiency measure that reduces electricity use and power demand. Typically a voltage optimisation device is installed at the main electrical supply to a building – thereby allowing all equipment and lighting to benefit from the optimisation of voltage. The device optimises the actual supply voltage you receive (207V – 253V) and the optimum voltage your electrical equipment needs (220V) – hence giving an optimum supply of voltage to a building. Essentially, the voltage optimisation device is a transformer that delivers voltage at a different voltage than the supply. Higher voltage has higher power consumption.
