Installation of Voltage Stabilisation on the incoming electricity supplies to the Main College site

Voltage stabilisation is a technology that addresses the discrepancy between the actual electricity supply voltage and the optimum voltage that electrical equipment needs. It also deals with the fact that electricity is not ordinarily supplied in a steady level stream, as you might imagine; instead it is full of waves, surges, peaks and troughs, producing power quality problems. Voltage stabilisation drops the overall voltage entering the site and smooths the delivery. Ultimately this saves electricity. The College installed this on the two main electricity supplies to the College site with an estimated saving of 8% (£14,300 per year). The College will publish periodic actual savings on this site when these are confirmed.
