Power Factor Correction
Power factor is the percentage of power that is delivered to your business and is used effectively compared to what is wasted. In a nutshell, if the perfect power factor is 1.0 and your power factor is 0.80 it means that 80% of your power is being used effectively while the other 20%, which you are also paying for, is being wasted by inductive loads.
Our power profile will determine your exact power factor and will also give us the answers on what is required to rectify it. Our power factor correction units are Australian-made and come complete with aftermarket service and maintenance plans.

Voltage Stabilisation
In Australia and other countries, voltage levels provided by power companies are not typically matched to the optimum level for most electrical equipment (typically 220v). One of the reasons voltage stabilisation is so effective is because the optimal voltage for most businesses is less than the average voltage supplied from the Australian national grid at 242volts (which can vary between 216volts and 253) whereas the nominal Australian voltage is 230volts. So why pay more than you need?
For example
if your incoming power is 245volts but the optimal voltage for your business is 225volts, you are paying for 20 volts more than you need. By installing voltage stabilisation to achieve your optimum voltage you will also benefit from greatly reduced maintenance costs as electric motors and lights will last longer and computerised equipment will run without a glitch. This is all because the equipment is now running at the lower voltages that it was designed to run at.
For every 5 volts over the appliance's recommended voltage, its lifespan will be reduced by 56%.
For every 5 volts over the appliance's recommended voltage, its lifespan will be reduced by 56%.
Voltage Stabilisation sees:
- Reduced energy costs 8% to 25%
- Reduced maintenance costs can be greater than 50%
- Reduced peak demand around 8% and 22%
- Improved site performance
- 15 years warranty
Variable Speed Drives
Variable Speed Drives (VSD), or Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), are an add-on motor controller that varies the frequency and voltage of an electric motors power supply which will adjust the motors speed.
Adjusting motor speed will assist in:
-
Energy conservation
1. 20 – 35 % for refrigeration units
2. 20 – 80% for pumps and fans - Increased system efficiency
- Matching the speed of the drive to process requirements
- Extend the life of the machine through the reduction of mechanical stress
With Today's Technology
We can turn any standard pump into an energy-efficient and multi-speed pump. You will now be able to reduce the electricity required to operate the pump by up to 75% without compromising filtration or water quality. Changing your pump to a slower, energy-efficient speed will allow the water to pass through the filter at the right flow and pressure. This allows the filter media to clean the water more efficiently giving you cleaner water and the added benefits below.
ECO Controllers for Pool Pumps
Pool Pumps use more electricity than any other item in your home! Don’t replace it, upgrade it with an ECO Controller and save 50% - 70% on its running costs! SCE Energy has the answer, the UK-built ECO Controller is just for you. Swimming pool pumps should have two speeds for the circulation system to work as it is designed, however standard A/C pumps only have one speed “Full Speed”. Full speed is required for backwashing or cleaning of the filtration system but is too powerful for normal filtration of the water.
- Controlling motor speed reduces electricity cost by 60% – 75%
- Optimising motor speed gives significant reduction in noise
- Reduces your CO2 Emissions
- Reduces maintenance costs of your equipment
- Installing an ECO Controller requires no plumbers or electricians
- Improve pool filtering & cleaning
- Fast return of investment
- 2 Year replacement warranty
- No effect on your water quality
- Protection against your pump running dry
- Floor crawling cleaners will still work on Energy Saving mode
