Power Factor Correction
Power factor correction aims to improve the power factor, and therefore, power quality. It achieves this using capacitors to offset inductive loads, for example motors.
The Power Factor is the ratio between the useful (true) power (kW) and total power (kVA) consumed by an item of equipment. A load with a power factor of 1.0 results in the most efficient loading of the supply. A load with a power factor of, say, 0.8, results in much higher losses in the supply system and a higher bill for the consumer. PFC is achieved by installing a PFC Unit to the electrical network.

Voltage Optimisation
Voltage optimisation is an electrical energy saving technique that is used to regulate, clean and condition the incoming power supply in order to reduce the voltage supplied to the premises. Energy providers in Sydney, especially in the CBD, supply customers with higher than necessary amount of voltage to ensure all customers receive acceptable amounts of voltage taking into account customer loading and voltage drop. This means that incoming voltage levels are generally higher than required to operate equipment efficiently and often result in the following issues:
Increased energy costs
Malfunction
Overheating

Surge Protection
A surge protector is an electronic device used to protect electrical appliances and equipment against power surges and voltage spikes by blocking voltage over a safe threshold. It is good practice to utilize surge protection devices to protect high-end equipment. A surge protector will generally extend the life of these devices, and there is always the chance that a big power surge (lighting strike) will cause sever damage.
Lightning strikes
Power outages
Short circuits
Tripped circuit breakers
Damaged or faulty wiring
When we think of a power surge, often we think of a lighting strike. While these have potential to cause severe damage to equipment down the line, we must also be aware of the small power surges and voltage spikes that occur every day in the electrical system. These smaller voltage spikes can deteriorate electronic systems, reducing their life spans.
