Many people have so much energy waste that they do not even realize the extent of it. More often than not, when people analyze their power bill, many will take a closer look of their energy usage. Where there a few things you can certainly do now to reduce the power usage, to ultimately eliminate the energy waste, you need to invest in an energy audit. Our experts of Advanced Electric Solutions can work with you after performing an energy audit to help you find optimal solutions and efficiently use your energy. Below, we at Advanced Electric Solutions Corp have compiled a few tips to start on your energy saving goals until you can schedule your energy audit service.

NEC Grounding Rules

Grounding (bonding) sets you up for circulating currents and leads to dangerous differences in potential. The issue is energy-wasting power quality problems. The mysterious power quality issues can first be addressed by ensuring the system complies with Art. 250, Part V. This can resolve many issues alone, and an electrician can help.

Reduce Harmonics in Power System

A rather good investment is a harmonics tester. Equipment has to use additional power to perform as it is designed to when there is excessive harmonics. An indication of excess harmonics is harmonics is that thermographic surveys show conductors being too hot, and that heat is energy wasted.

Lower High Resistance Electrical Connections

These issues are common, and early detection to repair them, reduces the deterioration phase. If they are accessible, routine thermographic surveys will find such connections. A shutdown can be arranged, or voltage across each connection if it cannot be, requires resistance measurements for inaccessible connections.

Load Balancing

Load imbalances not only waste energy, but they will significantly reduce the lives of motors. It will be looking at some specific nodes with the ideal power monitoring system; these nodes are like feeders or branch circuits to critical motors. To provide the tolerance range (in volts) based on acceptable voltage imbalance, the power monitoring procedures should call for supply voltage measurements.

Don’t Leave the Light On

This issue typically does not require an audit to discover. Lights on in an occupied space. Changing the terms such as determining what lighting controls are needed for a given area, then writing up the solution can help reduce the energy usage. After a formal audit, the facility’s energy savings can be more efficient at finding the areas where lights are wasted. With a written report, you can see exactly where the light management can be improved.
