Your utility bills keep going up, and the reliability and quality of your electricity keeps going down. Where will it end? No one can say. Can you demand that your utility correct the problems on their end? Probably not. Most electricity providers are working hard to come up with both short and long-term solutions for over-taxed power grids and aging delivery systems. This may help to alleviate the problem of reliability on the utility’s part. But then, when you add to the mix the increasing consumption, the ever-growing number of electronic devices being used daily in business operations, and the outdated, overworked wiring systems, you can start to see that our electrical systems will continue to be pushed to the limit. What can you do now? Become more energy efficient, lower your utility bills by using your power more effectively, update aging and under-rated electrical systems within your facility, and protect your sensitive electrical and electronic equipment from damage that can come from questionable power quality. These are some of the common practices used when trying to improve electrical power distribution systems. Every flicker, every surge or sag too small to see with the naked eye, has an impact on your electrical and electronic devices. Whether you are in a hospital, data center, office building, manufacturing plant, or machine shop, your equipment’s life expectancy is growing shorter with every power quality event that happens. In addition, if intense power events occur, they can trigger controls, machinery and systems to lock-up or shut down, causing lost work and down time, in addition to damage and the potential for catastrophic losses. Poor power quality can cause a deluge of real costs associated with constant maintenance, decreased product quality, increased scrap, and equipment repair and replacement. Education, awareness and assistance from Staco Energy Products Co. can help to maximize your operation’s uptime and bottom line.

Reactive Power Compensation, or power factor correction, can lower your utility bills starting on the day the equipment is installed. Installation can be easy and fast, so that downtime is minimized as much as possible. After capacitors are installed, you should notice an immediate improvement in power factor, more efficient use of your power system’s load, and of course, monthly savings in your electric utility bills. Your Staco Energy sales representative or one of our application engineers will be glad to assist you in determining the equipment best-suited to your needs. After the return on your initial investment is realized, you can add the money you save on your utility bill every month directly to your bottom line. After all, isn’t that why you’re in business?

Electronically controlled equipment is a major contributor to harmonics found in your electrical system. The more electronic devices you have on your electrical system, the more they can affect all the equipment within the system. The nature of such electronics causes extremely quick pulses, creating a sine wave that becomes non-linear in shape. The end result affects the operation and longevity of your connected systems and equipment. It can be a "silent killer" in your facility,
leading
to
operational
problems
with
both
electrical
and
electronic
equipment including mis-operation, shutdown and early failure. Harmonics may affect specific points or virtually all aspects of your electrical system, including lowering your power factor, which raises your utility costs. How do you get rid of harmonics? One preferred method is to filter them out of your electrical system. Most filters will eliminate some harmonics, but not all. Staco Energy Products Co.’s harmonic mitigation filters will perform mitigation for a wide array of needs. This includes equipment to help reduce amplification of harmonics when capacitors are automatically switched, to suppress one or more specific harmonic orders, and to lessen a broad range of multiple harmonic orders. You save time and money with Staco Energy Products Co. We make sure that you get the right solution for your electrical system problems, and that the solution you buy is the best quality available anywhere.
