Transient Voltage
Surge Suppressor
WHAT IS "DIRTY ELECTRIC POWER"?
Sudden, short-duration,
high-amplitude disturbances in the normal voltage levels across
power lines are called voltage transients. Although lightning
causes some of these voltage transients, most
are caused by the switching on and off of internal and external
loads, and occur regularly on any power system. For example,
on residential 120V AC lines, these voltage transients can peak
momentarily at 6000 volts when caused by lightning, and at 2500
volts when caused by switching.
Such transients constitute
a form of 'electrical pollution'
or 'dirty power', which is present
in every power system in varying degrees. The
rate at which voltage transients occur has been described as
follows:
0
to 900 transients
per hour for a residence
900
to 9000 transients
per hour for a busy office
9000
to 60,000 transients
per hour for a small factory
60,000
to 180,000 transients
per hour for a processing plant
WHY SHOULD I TAKE CARE OF SURGE
SUPPRESSION?
Surge suppression takes care of the lion's share of problems
and it's easily the most cost effective method of power quality
correction. If you choose to take care of transient protection
first, you provide protection that nothing else can provide
and you don't create problems you'll have to deal with later.
Protecting your facility and its equipment should be your number
one priority in protecting your investment.
HOW DOES ELIMINATING TRANSIENTS
REDUCE ENERGY USAGE?
The devices that consume the most energy in both the commercial
and residential markets are driven by magnetic mass. Your motors
are little more than large electromagnets. Transformers, that
are also very similar to large electromagnets, drive your fluorescent
lights. Transients produce what is known as an 'eddy current'
effect in electrical systems which reduce the system's efficiency.
Because they operate less efficiently they produce more heat.
Transients also produce fluctuations in voltage, which create
conditions in magnetic-mass driven devices that cause them to
draw more current than required which also produces more heat.
The sharp increases in voltage are more than the devices are
designed to operate, and the sharp, sudden increase in resistance
produces more heat. Simply put? Eliminated Transients=Reduced
Heat.
CAN THESE UNITS SAVE ME MONEY?
TVSS units were not designed to save electricity. However, the
units will save on wear and tear of your equipment (e.g., light
bulbs, computers, and any other electrical equipment, helping
them to last longer). Even though saving electricity was not
the intention, every-day-evidence from our customers, shows
that this happens also. Equipment that runs cooler and more
efficiently, therefore, draws less electricity. Our service
is designed to save you energy. Through our energy survey we
will find as many areas as possible in your company to conserve
energy with our “ECONERGY SYSTEM”.
K-P Energy Consultants
Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor manufacturer
has over 20-years of experience in the manufacturing of the
world’s finest TVSS systems available in the market today.
We rely on these technologies and highest design standards to
provide our clients with a Full Lifetime Warranty
on this TVSS unit.
Surge Suppression
is the elimination of momentary over voltage from any cause.
Any over voltage not eliminated is called the pass voltage so
the lower the pass voltage, the better the
surge protector. Underwriters Laboratory (UL), the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) all scrutinize the pass voltage
when testing and evaluating any TVSS. All our TVSS units meet
or exceed ANSI/IEEE B3 standards.
Our surge suppressors are manufactured with the finest components
available and tested numerous times during and after production
to be sure they function properly. They are designed to protect
your equipment. They will withstand all but the most massive
surges and restore themselves automatically after a surge occurs.
All our surge suppressors carry a Full Lifetime Warranty and
will be replaced free of charge.
Once installed, all surge suppressors normally found at computer
work stations become redundant and can be eliminated without
worry.
MOTOR CONTROLLERS
K-P Energy Consultants
Motor controllers
Our products are "tailored" to:
-Applications 600 volts and down.
-Three phase to single phase.
-Inductive equipment 300 horsepower and down.
This includes homes, shopping centers, manufacturing facilities;
everyone with a power meter is a customer. We call this the
energy company’s cash register.
The Motor Controller is designed to provide:
-Significant savings on electric bills.
-Increased life of electrical motors and appliances through
heat reduction.
-Surge protection for the entire home or facility.
Commercial applications
Today's commercial applications require looking beyond the
traditional means of energy conservation and savings. For example,
purchasing high efficiency motors to reduce energy costs are
typically cost prohibitive.
As the demand for power runs through your commercial setting,
there is non-productive current (heat) that strains your equipment
and wiring. The Motor Controller optimizes the watts that come
in, allowing the motors within the equipment to operate more
efficiently. This reduces heat, lowers your electricity costs,
reduces the chance of fires, and increases the life of your
motorized equipment.
Industrial Applications
The motor has no way of intelligently adjusting the amount
of electricity it consumes in relation to the amount of work
it does.
Today’s industrial applications also require looking beyond
the traditional means of energy conservation and savings. Again,
purchasing high efficiency motors to reduce energy costs are
typically cost prohibitive.
Often three phase Motor Controllers are recognized as the most
readily available turnkey solution to various motor problems,
since they provide numerous other benefits in addition to reductions
in electrical energy efficient.
The one of a kind Optimization Sizing System provides a simple
and accurate way for measuring and optimizing the power factor
of individual inductive loads (motors). All Optimizers size
up to 600 volts.
This system consists of three units for sizing:
SINGLE PHASE UNIT - US1,
sizes all single-phase equipment ***
THREE PHASE UNIT - US2,
sizes fractional motors up to 75hp
THREE PHASE UNIT - US3,
sizes motors 75hp up to 300hp.
After sizing is completed, a precise analysis, estimated savings,
estimated return on investment and system cost is prepared for
the customer. We then custom build our product to fit their
system and reduce the demand on the electric company.
Light Controllers
K-P Energy Consultants
Light Controllers
In today’s competitive environment, lighting manufacturers
find new and varied technologies to create more light for less
money. Florescent light fixtures in particular have evolved
from T-12 magnetic ballast designs to T-8 and T-5 electronic
designs.
Bulb manufacturers have also joined in this frenzy with new
coatings, different gases, and break-through spectral coverage.
Within these three categories are a wide variety of variations
on the electronic ballast resulting in a plethora of bulb and
ballast combinations.
Simply put, the lighting community has created a jigsaw puzzle
that imposes a unique challenge when addressing consumption
reduction. Some lighting technologies simply cannot be treated.
To address the vast majority of those than can be treated, K-P
Energy uses different technologies to treat:
- T-12 magnetic ballast florescent lights -T-8
electronic ballast florescent lights
- HID magnetic ballast lights
Alpha-series Controllers
Our Alpha-series controllers
use a time-delayed voltage-reduction technique that allows bulbs
to start up and then reduces the voltage to these bulbs after
10 minutes. Four discrete reduction levels select fixed voltage
steps of 9-24% that provides up to 35% in overall energy savings.
The illustration below
shows how these controllers work. By reducing the voltage to
your lights, the amount of energy used is reduced. The total
amount of energy saved is the area between the red and black
sinusoidal lines.
Omega-series Controllers
Our Omega-series controllers
use a wave-shaping technique that delays the turn-on of the
A/C sinusoid by an adjusted amount. This variable-delay allows
additional control over ballasts operation and bulb interaction
to ’’tune in’’ optimal energy savings.
The illustration below
shows how the Omega-series controllers work. By holding the
A/C voltage off, the total amount of energy used by your lights
is reduced. The longer the voltage is kept off, the more energy
is saved. By being able to control how long this “off-delay”
is maintained, you can set your savings level to your individual
lighting requirements.
Delta-series Controllers
Delta-series controllers use a time-delayed voltage-reduction
technique similar to that of our Alpha-series controllers. Delta-series
controllers are designed specifically for 3-wire, 3-phase lighting
that uses single-phase ballasts. Delta-series controllers offer
the same 9-24% fixed voltage reduction as the Alpha-series controllers
along with the same simple installation features. This controller
provides a highly economical solution to these specialized 3-phase
lighting challenges.
K-P Energy Consultants
has a unique solution to reduce the energy waste specifically
for series-connected streetlights lighting applications. A leading
innovator of energy-savings controllers for HID lighting has
developed patented technology that is not available from any
other source. Designed specifically for streetlights, this product
creates energy savings of about 20%.
The City
of Anaheim recently undertook a test project
to evaluate an energy-savings technology that specifically targets
widely-used High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. The technology
selected was LiteHawk lighting power controller
and they provided testimonials from clients going back nearly
20 years. The positive unique features of this technology, and
acceptable costs made it the candidate of choice for this test.
“The units
performed as claimed with no adverse effect on the power or
the lamps and ballasts. Actual savings of 26.53% (test 1) and
35.33% (test 2) was better than expected, and the operations
of the lamps and ballasts were unaffected”.
“Based on the
costs of the units used in this test, it is anticipated that
the payback for this application will be less than three years
without incentive, and approximately two years with incentive”.
“The data loggers
were set to measure consumption every 15 minutes. The ignition-level
power supplied to the lamps was a slightly high 126 volts rather
than 120 volts. This had an effect of increasing the planned
savings. Recorded data shows the LiteHawk achieved a 26.53 percent
savings, slightly better than expected”.
The LiteHawk
is a structure-mounted lighting controller designed for loads
up 4000 watts. It is customizable to suit any number of lamps
of any mix of standard wattage up to the 4000 watt limit. It
is configured to achieve energy savings of about 20% while IMPROVING
the mean lumen output of your lamps.
The LiteHawk
is housed in a NEMA 3 case and can be installed by any certified
electrician in just minutes. It is designed for an estimated
30 years of maintenance-free operation.
The LiteHawk is UL listed and follows NEC and NEMA standards.
It has three savings settings choices, at approximately 10%,
16% and 20%. Savings vary near these numbers based on the actual
line condition, voltage, and load. There is no need to replace
or alter individual fixtures with this cost-effective technology.
The LiteHawk
has the benefit of increasing lamp and ballast life by reducing
the “stress” on these items as well levelling the
lumen output of the lamps over their life span, which results
in less frequent lamp and ballast replacement, which means additional
cost savings.
Simply put: nearly
maintenance free, easy to install, quick payback, environmentally
friendly, energy efficient, increased lamp and ballast life,
stabilized lumen output, guaranteed!

Fluorescent Lighting
Office lighting is all around us, but unfortunately, this lighting
is outdated, and does not give adequate light levels and needlessly
consumes too much energy. What’s worse, it costs a lot
of time and money to upgrade. Normally, ballasts, sockets and
lamps all need to be upgraded and electrical work must be done
to install the new ballast and reconfigure the socket location,
if you choose to keep the existing light fixture.
There is a way to upgrade to newer T5 florescent lighting…
it is brighter and consumes far less energy than the older and
fatter T12 or T8 technologies without changing anything in your
fixture and by only retrofitting the lamp! Upgrade to T5 and
Keep your existing light fixture!
K-P Energy Consultants
has access to a new world standard with the introduction of
the latest energy saving fluorescent lamp technology. The ECOTUBE
T-5 series is designed to provide optimal lighting superior
color and low energy consumption.
Efficient T5 Fluorescent Tube Retrofit System
The T5 Retrofit Series has changed the concept of using fluorescent
lamps with the introduction of the latest fluorescent lamp technology
resulting in savings of up to 52%. This can be achieved by a

need to replace the existing T8 or T12 fitting. Achieve the
benefits of T-5 fluorescent lamps with little additional costs.
It provides an easy replacement of the conventional fluorescent
tube-light without changing the light fixture.

The Polaris light bulb, like their smaller CFL cousins, is designed
to replace traditional outdoor lighting. Polaris lights are
designed to replace commercial and industrial light bulbs, which
are usually 175-1,000 watts, and swap them to 65-320 watts.
These lamps do not require ballast like traditional commercial/industrial
lights do and there is even more energy saved. Polaris lights
use the same fixture as before and provide a much higher quality
of light instead of the very poor yellow looking light that
is very common.
