The powerPerfector Plus features a UK built optimiser and a European built Automatic Voltage Controller (AVC). Each unit is equipped with five optimisation settings, which are automatically selected by the AVC.
The new style unit, which has greater user controls and an improved interface, was on display at Energy Solutions Expo and is available to purchase from 8 November 2012.
Settings are in equal increments with three minus settings, a 0% setting and a 'boost' setting, able to raise the incoming mains voltage if it drops below the optimum range. This makes it ideal for sites with critical equipment, or those which suffer from an unstable supply.
powerPerfector director of engineering, Michael Robertson-Lambert, said: "The new powerPerfector Plus takes the technology on to the next level. The AVC can be controlled remotely online through our web based bureau service and adjustments can be made exactly as if the user was stood in front of the unit.
"The bureau service also has the ability to monitor key power components such as running currents and voltages coupled with the ability to customise the user experience, giving energy and estates managers greater control."
