VPO – redefining power supply
Our story• VPO is advanced Japanese technology
• Invented in 1993 because energyprices were four times higher thanin Europe.
• Introduced to the UK – 2001
• Over 300,000 units installed in Japan.
• 100% reliability and safety record.
• VPO technology is manufactured exclusively forpowerPerfector for the UK and European markets (230V).

Transients• Spikes are on the increase and can
be devastating
Harmonics• Disrupt sensitive electronic
equipment and reduce efficiency of HV transformers
3-phase imbalance• Reduces motor efficiency and leads
to triplen harmonics
Power factor• Poor power factor is a result of high
reactive power, and can result in additional penalty charges

Voltage Power Optimisation
we’ll estimate your savings
Using your data
Proven 4 step process
Electronic• Computers, UPS, VSDs,
HF lighting, ‘non-linear’loads
• Reduce supply losses by filtering harmonics
Motors• HVAC, AHUs,
pumps, compressors• The main source of savings• Optimise voltage level and
balance phases to reduce losses
Resistive• Electric heaters• Thermostatically controlled
heaters see no energy saving
Lighting• Optimise voltage to save
energy on magnetic ballast or incandescent lighting
A real site contains a mixture of load typesWe will assess the mixture and guarantee the savings
Electrical equipment
Voltage logging to determine your voltage profile and optimisation opportunity
We survey your site(s) and provide a more detailed proposal

• High school housing 1380 students aged 11-19
• The typical school day runs from 08:30 – 15:00, and the load comprises mainly lighting and some IT, as well as various small power appliances
• Schools are facing difficult years ahead, as the current recession curbs public spending in education. Installing powerPerefector reduces costs by up to 20%, allowing fewer resources to go much further.
