Advantages of EP-X

  • Energy Efficiency

    EP-X decreases losses and disturbances in the system by providing real energy efficiency; improves the quality of power distributed to the loads, extending their life
    span.

  • Economic Savings

    EP-X reduces power consumption for the same work performed, generating economic savings generally ranging from 3% to 6%, depending on the type of electricity mains. The result can be scientifically measured thanks to the patented bypass and the data monitoring and transmission system managed by the E-Controller.

  • Power Quality

    Power Quality is characterised by disturbances in the electrical supply, which are
    compounded by the ever increasing use of electronic equipment and include both
    transient and stationary, very common events, such as: short and long interruptions, micro- interruptions and voltage dips, overvoltage and pulse overcurrent, harmonics and current and voltage imbalances, flickering.

  • Environmental Sustainability

    Each kWh saved by EP-X is equivalent to approximately a 0.450 kg reduction in CO2 emissions.

EP-X: What is it?

The EP-X system is an inductive passive filter with hybrid characteristics. These characteristics are given by its ability to introduce a series of electromagnetic vectors in phase opposition into the flow of energy, using part of the input energy and causing a voltage drop proportional to the selected filtering level.

Inductance is therefore not constant, but dynamically changes its value by adapting to the power absorption in the system, thus maximising its effectiveness.

Thanks to the mere presence of reactive components and switches/contactors, the losses introduced by installing the EP-X system can be considered to be nil, unlike what happens in active filters with resistors and switching power devices.

EP-X: Why Use it?

EP-X is a power quality improvement system that became necessary in the wake of the technological evolution of electrical equipment. Until the 1980s, linear loads, i.e. electrical loads not controlled or managed by electronic devices, prevailed in all industrial and commercial facilities.

In the late 1980s, electronic components became smaller and more efficient. New and less energy-intensive technologies began to come to the fore: they were technologies related to electronic frequency control, that generate a positive impact on consumption but a negative one on power quality.

Furthermore, since the 2000s, the world consumption of electricity has started to surge dramatically. In particular, production from renewable sources, which have a negative impact on power quality, has significantly increased. Non-linear loads, i.e. loads managed by power electronics, largely prevail in manufacturing facilities.

Today, saving energy by making systems more efficient and by optimising power supply quality is an essential requirement.

This is why the EP-X solution is a winner.
