The Electra™ is a patented lighting power controller for use
in single or 3-phase lighting systems.
The controller reduces the power consumption of existing commercial
and industrial lighting systems by as much as 36% (see
test results).
The system is designed for use with HID lamps such as high-pressure
sodium, metal-halide, mercury vapor as well as fluorescent or a
combination.
The Electra is installed between the power line and the
dedicated lighting panel. It is designed to supply full power to
the lighting
panels for a period of time to allow the lamps to fully warm up
and achieve full brightness.
The Electra then automatically reduces power supplied to
the panels, saving energy and extending lamp and ballast life.
The dramatic reduction of energy consumption also means less electric
utility power generation and less greenhouse gases.
The Electra is engineered and manufactured to provide a short
payback period typically, less than 24 months, which translates into
an outstanding ROI.
There is simply no more economical way to achieve the dramatic energy
savings and environmental benefits that accrue with installing the
Electra.
Load Sensing and Down-Line Switching
The Electra can be equipped with a sensor that is capable
of detecting the current in the load lines. In the event that another
bank of lamps is switched on, the sensor will detect the change.
The Electra will then instantly switch back to full power
for a period sufficient to allow the new bank of lamps to fully warm
up. After the preset period, the Electra will switch and the
energy savings will continue. The Electra does not require
control wires to operate with Energy Management Systems, photocells
or time clocks.
