powerMAXX Group
Is not... and is not... associated with any power utility or distribution company !
powerMAXX is your Energy Reduction Technology partner, supporting you from initial concept design, through to post-commissioning technical support and future upgrades - the complete package.
powerMAXX's 'Energy Reduction Systems' encompass residential, commercial & industrial quality 'Power Optimization Capacitor Banks' and high-end custom built 'Variable Voltage Stabilizer Reactors' (V.S.R.) ranging from 300 KVA to 2000 KVA, with in-house design build & assembly our 'Energy Reduction Systems' will actively reduce your electicity usage by 8-20%.
powerMAXX's 'hybrid' system incorporates power optimizer capacitor banks to upgrade 'POWER FACTOR' and variable voltage stabilization reactors that are built to match site specific requirements thus ensuring 'PRECISE VOLTAGE' within a narrow supply band - Variable Drive Controllers (V.D.C.) and associated Switchboards/Sub-Panels all combine to maximize client energy useage reductions from within our Commercial/Industrial product range.
Variable Voltage Stabilizer Reactors are a unique proven technology that deals with the discrepancy between the poor quality over-under-voltage electricity supply that you receive from today's grid, powerMAXX gives businesses manufacturers, councils and government the opportunity to micro-manage and improve their in-house power supply to the extent that plant and equipment can operate at optimum performance ratings - from a single or bank of computers, to facilities with a power bill of $30,000 - $250,000 - $1 million p/a+ such as; Clubs, Pubs, Food Processing/Packaging Distribution Warehouses, Building Product Manufacturing, Shopping Centre's, Cold Storage, Commercial Printing Supermarkets, Medical Facilities (sensitive equipment & computerized systems that are all prone to harmonics, voltage dips & swells), Administration Complex's, Civic Centre's, Aviation Infrastructure, High-rise Residential, Aged Care & Retirement Centre's, to mention but a few!

KNOW YOUR POWER
Most electrical equipment manufactured for Australia & Europe is rated at 220V and may indeed operate at an even lower voltage, one of the reasons powerMAXX is so effective is that the average voltage supplied from the National Grid is 242V (although it can be as high as 253V), whereas the nominal voltage is 230V.
So, in most cases, you are being supplied more voltage than you need – and you're paying for it, whether you want it or not! There is nothing to be gained by operating equipment at a voltage higher than it was designed for - quite the contrary as over-voltage will significantly reduce the life expectancy of most equipment, therefore increasing maintenance costs
EXPERTISE - KNOWHOW
The powerMAXX 'Energy Reduction System' in independent tests demonstrated substantial overall savings in energy efficiency/usage plus power factor improvement and harmonics reduction metrics.
The fact that the equipment is Australian designed and built also means it can be custom built for older sites which may have restricted space in their distribution rooms.
The combination of the above factors clearly highlights that powerMAXX as well as being the most effective 'Energy Reduction System' within the Australian marketplace with its high build and technical quality imputes, it's also the market leader in being price right!
powerMAXX provides comprehensive technical support, advising you of the options available from our world wide access to premium energy reduction components. On-site studies are essential in the establishment of concept designs and to formulate multiple feature costing's for consideration in your final selection process.
During the design phase, our team encompassing prominent electrical engineers/designers, specialist suppliers, and I. T. experts are always available to advise you on product application.
During the commissioning phase, which is one of the most important in a project's implementation our specialist team of 'Multi-Qualified' Fully Certified Master Electricians assures you of a 'first class - hassle free' commissioning.
powerMAXX Group provides 24/7 customer support.
IMPORTANT
As yet, there is no Australian 'Power Audit Standard', which means that standards of measurement or lack thereof in the energy efficiency sector are often poor and based on little more than a 'misguided look' at your power bill, potential clients are urged to think carefully about how their energy saving requirement is going to be evaluated before they go ahead. Challenge your 'quote giver' to conduct a 'fully metered power audit analysis' that incorporates the six key inpute measurment factors as this data is the only means of proving that their conclusions are correct and statistically supported. Don't settle on a few unconfirmed figures or a single graph that supposedly tells you that energy saving is simple and cheap... IT'S NOT!

HELPING INDUSTRY SAVE MONEY & REDUCE THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT
To fully demonstrate the benefits of the powerMAXX 'Energy Reduction System', (ERS) we need to firstly review and evaluate your past 12 months 'un-bundled' electricity bills, it's rate structure will include your Maximum Demand KW and detail charges for poor 'POWER FACTOR' applicable to your bill, as most Utilities supply only limited information on their bills a comprehensive 'Power Audit' is the only means of establishing EXACT POWER SUPPLY/USAGE/LOAD PATTERNS that must encompass six key factors;
Phase Voltage Fluctuations (Volts), Peak Current (Amps), Reactive Power (KVAR), Active Power (KW), Apparent Power (KVA) and Power Factor (PF) readings, all under full operating loads over a 24 hour period to establish maximum & minimums as applicable to your facility.
If your 'POWER FACTOR' is below 0.90 your electricity costs can be up to 20% higher than a similar facility with a reading in the low 90's, the only means of establishing 'your true power factor' is by a power audit, a proper power audit requires the use of a Class 'A' or Class 'B' power analyser/logger to benchmark your facility & to correctly size the right 'Energy Reduction System' components. As your Power Factor approaches 1 (one), your (nonworking) Reactive Power (KVAR) approaches zero, this equates to lower energy usage, lower demand extras/fees, & lower power bills!
FIVE STEPS TO REDUCING YOUR ENERGY USAGE & POWER BILLS
STEP 1: THE INITIAL CONSULTATION
A site visit/consultation with client personnel is first & paramount to establish the 'Application Parameters' as assessed by both client and our expert personnel, your past 12 months electrical bills will be required for post data analaysis and usage review, reactive loads need to be established, typical 'Inductive Loads' include; transformers refrigeration lighting, air conditioning, electronics & general plant, all of which can be quite significant. During the evaluation process various 'Energy Optimization System' options considered suitable for your facility will be discussed with the view to determining the 'best sized' equipment and installation locations within your electrical system. powerMAXX'S consultant will discuss up-front the approximate installation costs & payment criteria prior to proceeding with the next step - the power audit. Power audits are only conducted for Commercial or Industrial facilities, no fee is required for the power audit
STEP 2: THE FREE POWER AUDIT
powerMAXX'S trained personnel equipped with a Fluke 435 Class 'A' or Lutron DW-6092 Class 'B' power analyzer/logger apparatus will test your circuits under motor loadings (24 hour - 7 day logging to establish peak/off-peak usage) actual operating metered history is essential in establishing the optimal 'Energy Reduction System' components for your facility.
STEP 3: YOUR PROPOSAL/ANALYZING THE DATA
powerMAXX'S trained personnel analyze the data and a comprehensive proposal is next prepared including a precise analysis inclusive of the 6 key power audit components plus all other energy supply/usage/load readings, clearly identified estimated savings and return on investment will be explained to you in terminology that all can understand.
STEP 4: PAYMENT (Commercial Installations)
A deposit of 50% (fifty percent) of the total cost will be required prior to the 'Power Audit'.
If power audit shows total savings of less than 8% (eight percent) your deposit will be refunded.
Full payment(50% balance) upon your receipt of the 'Power Audit' data.
STEP 5: INSTALLATION
Installation will be made within 10 (ten) working days from full payment, our consultant will discuss with you the best time of day that best suits your facilities operational schedule to install. A qualified electrician must perform all work. |
