How We Operate

EFS can provide cost effective power quality enhancements to public and corporate facilities with heavy electrical usage. A good guide is whether a site is served from its own transformer. Once we have established the usage level, free of charge, our engineers take readings from your electrical distribution system.

The initial reading tests and measures the electrical load and the distribution in a facility. From this information, both the impedance or z factor of the system and the X/R ratio are determined. X being the reactance of the system and R being the resistance of the system. From that, we are able to point out the areas in your plant where energy is being wasted.

We analyse our findings to establish the extent of electrical inefficiencies. Combined with analysis of twelve months of prior electricity billing, this enables us to build a business case, provided in a comprehensive report.

This report will identify the existing power conditions, and inefficiencies, and projected conditions with a Power Quality system in place. It includes a guaranteed savings level, typically between 4 and 10%.

Once we’ve agreed to go ahead, our engineers will conduct further testing, and will then design a modular system to achieve optimum power quality.

If your company or organisation is eligible, we will assist you to gain any funding assistance available. EFS is approved for interest free loans from the Carbon Trust, and for Salix matched funding.
