Claude Lyons announces new generation of PowerSave™ voltage optimisation equipment
As with the ESS range of energy saving regulators, the ESSX offers the highest possible savings of any voltage optimisation product, but with the additional benefits of built-in metering, internal equipment protection and a no-break bypass system. This makes it the highest specification product available, delivering energy savings of up to 25%.
Commenting on the launch, Jim McIlfatrick, Managing Director of Claude Lyons said, “The key feature of the ESSX is its internal no-break bypass which prevents any power interruption during maintenance. By ensuring a safe and stable supply voltage, the ESSX can help organisations reduce costs, as well as contribute towards their Carbon Reduction Commitments. With five leading environment exhibitions under one roof, SustainabilityLive! is the ideal place for us to launch this exciting new technology.”
Previously only available to larger power consumers, the ESSX range has been specifically designed to allow smaller retail, commercial and industrial power users to also benefit from Powersave™ technology.
The first organisation to take advantage of its advanced capabilities has been The Youth Hostel Association UK, which operates a network of more than 200 youth hostels, bunkhouses and camping barns across England and Wales. Claude Lyons’ initial site survey has projected a 10% reduction in energy consumption and less than 3 years for a return on investment for the company.
The ESSX is initially available in three phase units up to 200A, with expansion of the range planned for mid-2011 onwards.
