Energy-saving technology explained

Marshall-Tufflex, voltage optimiser, voltage optimisation, power factor, sub-metering

A 76-page guide to energy management from Marshall-Tufflex explains how voltage optimisation, sub-metering, power-factor correction and boiler-management systems work. It covers commercial, industrial and domestic applications. There is a chapter on each technology explaining the science behind each approach, potential savings, how and why they work and, importantly, situations where they may not be suitable.

Paul Hetherington, chief executive of Marshall-Tufflex, says, ‘We want this guide to become the definitive reference for energy managers, electrical contractors and electrical wholesalers. We really wanted to make a stand against misinformation and confusion in this market sector and produce a document that lays out relevant and unbiased information in simple, clear language.’
