Power Quality Systems
By considering Power quality systems, facility managers can transform their electrical systems, leading to substantial cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
Balance voltage between all phases with Capacitors, MOV’S and a Patented Wiring System designed to allow unusable power, that is currently being lost to be returned to your grid via the ground and neutral design.
Voltage is optimized, and Transient Voltage is reduced, resulting in more savings. To accomplish this, the Powerhouse adds capacitance through a series of capacitors. This enables the unit to capture the Reactive Power, which is commonly lost to ground, store it, and return it to the system evenly across all phases as needed.

A power quality system is an electrical control system that stores and uses it to constantly balance and optimize voltage throughout the system, reducing demand levels and total power consumption.
2
Installed at a primary power source, power quality systems are technology that is able to successfully capture electricity, store it, and use it to optimize power quality and lower kilowatt demand.
3
All facilities have a portion of power lost to the ground and never consumed, known as reactive power. A power quality system can capture this reactive power, condition it into usable energy, and store or use it as a secondary power source.
Power Factor Correction (PFC) plays a key role in improving electrical efficiency and optimizing system performance. While the Powerhouse system corrects power factor, it also delivers added value far beyond standard PFC equipment.
Why Power Factor Correction Matters:
Improved Energy Efficiency: A higher power factor—closer to 1—means your electrical power is being used more effectively for productive work rather than wasted as reactive power.
Lower Energy Costs: By reducing the need to generate and transmit reactive power, overall energy consumption drops. That translates to lower utility bills and more efficient use of energy resources.
Better Equipment Performance: Electrical equipment like motors and transformers operate more reliably and efficiently when voltage and current are in sync. Correcting power factor keeps these systems performing at their best.
These case studies demonstrate the significant impact of power quality solutions across various industries, addressing issues from equipment failure to production losses while providing substantial returns on investment.
