Electrical Harmonizer-AVR, How It Works

The energy savings from the Electrical Harmonizer-AVR are based on a strategy known as "Conservation Voltage Regulation" (CVR). The main concept behind CVR is that customers receiving voltage at higher levels are unknowingly paying high electricity bills, overdriving their equipment and wasting energy.

The Electrical Harmonizer-AVR uses a set of taps to set the degree of voltage optimization for the incoming power supply. The AVR component enables the taps to automatically change, under load, in response to fluctuations of the power grid. The Electrical Harmonizer-AVR is installed in series with the main electrical breaker or on a specific branch circuit panel.

Most electrical equipment is designed to operate at nominal voltage levels plus or minus 10%. By optimizing the voltage level the Electrical Harmonizer-AVR allows customers to reduce energy consumption, peak demand, greenhouse gas emissions and maintenance costs while improving overall power quality issues.
