GridStone - Power Factor Correction Unit
The electricity usually travel very long distance from the generating plants to the customers. To ensure all customers get acceptable voltage levels considering the voltage drop and loading on the grid net work, the grid networks typically supply electricity voltage at high end of the range which is higher than required by most equipment to work at best efficiency. This can result in over voltage issues such as overheating and malfunctions, as well as increased energy usage and costs. For example Australia, statutory supply range is 230V, +10% to -6%, a range of between 253V and 216V. Averagely 247V is provided in many Australian facilities.

Products Details
Most connected loads, such as electrical equipment and machinery on a site, is designed to operate most efficiently at 220V to 230V. When supplied with a higher voltage, no performance gains are achieved, rather the excess energy is lost through heat or vibration. Users therefore pay for this wasted energy without gaining any increase in output. Higher voltage also means to put higher stress on the loads which decrease the life time of the loads.
