Power Management

Power conditioners have a number of functions. They can protect equipment from sudden power surges, make sure machinery is supplied with the correct voltage and can also filter out unwanted noise. Although mainly used in industry,they are sometimes purchased for domestic use.

Power controllers are a device used to protect circuits or pieces of equipment from damage which could be incurred during a power surge. Being much faster and more efficient than surge protectors, they are often installed in factories where the machinery might be more sensitive.

Power converters are devices to change one form of energy into another kind and sometimes this conversion is done in stages. There are a wide variety of these devices, each having a specific function. Power converters have a wide range of applications, both domestically and industrially.

Power distribution systems are crucial so that customers can receive an uninterrupted supply of electricity. There are two distribution systems: the primary and the secondary. The configurations might be radial with an emergency backup or network from multiple sources. Every building needs an electrical supply to power appliances, lighting, heating and machinery.

Power inverters are devices used to change direct current into alternating current. They can be used in factories to convert the power supplied to machinery but also have a number of domestic applications. Household appliances can be plugged into an inverter and be used even when there is no electricity supply because of a power cut or malfunction.

Power management is an important way to ensure that a business or device works correctly and saves money on energy bills. There are various systems to achieve this and include management training techniques. For electrical appliances, many of the systems are already installed in it such as power saver.

Power outlets and sockets ensure that appliances can access electricity from convenient locations. They are protected by the circuit layout and might have other safeguards like switches or covers. The majority are fitted into the wall for domestic use although factories and offices might use floor sockets.

Power relays can either be used as a switching device to turn a circuit on or off or they can be installed as amplifiers to allow a small current operate a device which needs larger amounts of current. Relays are found in many machines, domestic appliances as well as electronic devices.

Power supplies are devices to convert one form of energy into another and can be separate or fitted into a machine or device. There are a wide range of power supplies. These converters are extremely versatile and have a number of domestic, industrial and commercial uses.

Transformers are used to increase or lower the voltage levels of AC current and they exist in many variations. They are vital for the transmission and distribution of the electricity supply. They are also contained in smaller electrical appliances so that the voltage can be reduced.

Uninterruptible power supplies are electrical devices which provide an immediate alternative power supply, often in the form of batteries, if there is a power cut. There are a variety of these devices and they can differ in size. They are mainly used when a lack of electricity could cause loss of life, disruption to business or loss of data.
