Airkom now presents the Power Saver Unit (PSU) for lighting applications to conserve the energy substantially and enhances its life hours. In today’s world the inception of electronic ballasts and energy efficient lightings to conserve the energy, an another important factor to contribute major savings is just by stabilizing the applied voltage at an optimum level and thereby achieve the savings, while illumination level to the industrial standards. The industrial sector consumes 5-10% of their total consumption for their lighting applications and thereby the need to conserve the energy becomes mandatory. Airkom becomes the obvious choice for this application as it has generated a wide acceptance in the industrial sector for various applications like Textiles & CNC machineries, Medical equipments Printing machineries, Air-conditioners and other applications.
The Concept
Airkom Power Saver Unit (PSU) provides your lighting loads and optimum regulated voltage enabling you to achieve minimum 7.5% to maximum 30% savings as well as enhanced life hours. Airkom’s unique features built into the power saver unit protect your loads from the vagaries of the Input power supply preventing frequent breakdowns such as choke and tube light failures even under extreme voltage conditions.
Calculation and Technical Study
The following calculation and technical study explains how by reducing the supply voltage leads to reduction of load current which further increases the savings. The luminance at a required level is maintained when the supply voltage is maintained at 210Volts.
| P=V×I ...Equation 1 P=I^2×R ...Equation 2 I=V/ R ...Equation 3 Considering 5000 watts load |
|
|---|---|
| If I/p voltage is 240V, as per Eqn. 1, P=V×I 5000=240 × I I=5000 /240=20.83 Amps |
Substituting R in equation 3 at I/p voltage 205 V : I=V / R I "=210 /11.52=18.3 Amps" |
| Substituting I in equation 2 : P=I^2×R 5000=(20.83)^2×R I=5000 /434=11.52 Ohms |
Substituting R in equation 3 at I/p voltage 240 V : I=V×R I=240 /11.52=20.83 Amps. |
| Consumption at 240 Volts :240 X 20.83 = 5000W |
|---|
| Consumption at 210 Volts : 210 x 18.30 = 3843W |
| Savings in % = 23% |

| Savings @10.45% per month in INR | Rs. 81,936 | INR | |
| Savings @11.5% per month in Units (During MSEB Voltage 440 V) | 8280 | kWh | |
| Savings @11.5% per month in INR | Rs. 90,169 | INR |
The above study has been conducted by also measuring the illumination level of lightings and found that the luminance level is within limits of the industrial lighting standards.
The savings achieved by using our PSU is 10.5% since this study has been conducted at 40% of the full load, the savings achievable at full load will meet or greater than the achieved savings.
