The Powerhouse
Reduce Key Operating Expenses
The Powerhouse, from LeDane Industrial represents a first for Facility Managers looking to improve performance and reduce expenses. Unlike capacitor banks or PF Correction, The Powerhouse boosts and balances voltage across all phases, even under the heaviest of loads. Through its patented connection The Powerhouse brings lost kVAR back, making it available in real time, on demand. The result: ALL VALUES FOR k, including kVA, kW Demand and kWh are reduced in a very pronounced way, cutting some of your top facility operating expenses by double digits! Dial down your CO-2 and CRUSH your Corporate Social Responsibility and Carbon Reduction Goals in record time.
The Powerhouse from LeDane Industrial: significantly lowers power bills & maintenance costs, eliminates costly downtime and typiclly pays for itself in under a year! Oh yeah, it's green too.

How The Powerhouse Works
The Powerhouse contains a patented wiring configuration that enables the unit to capture the Reactive Power (kVAR), which is normally lost to ground. But, unlike Capacitor Banks, The Powerhouse brings the lost kVAR back, as usable kilowatts, and distributes it into the system evenly across all phases, as it is needed. This impacts KW Demand and KWH by 10% or greater and lowers amperage by 15% or greater. No other technology in the world can make this claim. Voltage is increased and balanced across all phases as Power Factor is corrected. This is very different from traditional cap banks or power factor correction.
Harmonics: The Powerhouse also eliminates about 80% of the harmonics, which is usually the greatest concern of energy managers and electrical engineers of any facility. The increasing use of Variable Frequency Drives in facilities leads to the increasing need to address problems associated with harmonics. The Powerhouse solves these issues.

What's the Difference?
For decades technologies have existed to help facilities run more efficiently. Power factor correction, line conditioners and capacitor banks all work similarly. They use capacitance to reduce kVAR or reactive energy. While there are benefits to these technologies, they fall short in two critical areas. 1. They do nothing to reduce your facility's consumption of kW or kWH. Therefore, there is never any significant reduction in the power bills. 2. They do nothing to eliminate power fluctuations that cause disruptions like brownouts. The Powerhouse is DIFFERENT. It’s the only product in the world to systematically reduce a building’s electrical consumption and make voltage available, on demand, to eliminate disruptions associated with voltage irregularities. Plus, it protects your facility with 50,000 volts of surge protection!

Inline/Offline Test
This test was run on a Bekum Injection Molding Machine. This press was run continuously for 10 hours. The KWH usage was tested using an EMON meter. During the 5 hours that The Powerhouse was on the machine, it averaged 4.2 KWH's. When The Powerhouse was removed, the machine averaged 5.6 KWH's. The average savings of KWH was 25% while The Powerhouse was engaged! Readings were taken on the hour for 5 hours on and 5 hours off. With power factor correction or capacitor banks there would be no measureable reduction in KWH.
Heat Reduction Test
On the Bekum Injection Molder there are 3 dominate motors: the pump motor, the top motor and the conveyor motor. Becuse these motors are under less strain with The Powerhouse providing clean consistant power, they are producing considerably less heat and friction. These motors will have an extended life span due to the reduction of heat, friction and strain. The Powerhouse will also eliminate sudden spikes and surges in voltage that cause damage to motors over time. Power factor correction and capacitor banks have no way to eliminate these events.

Cost reductions in 3 key areas produce Spectacular ROI in months, not years.
Energy Savings
Through its unique wiring configuration and coupling of components, The Powerhouse redirects reactive energy to either a capacitive or distributive function, lowering not only kVA but also kW Demand and kWh significantly, resulting in immediate 10% - 20% reductions in power bills. For many facilities, this savings alone represents an ROI under 12 months.
Maintenance Savings
Maintenance costs account for a large portion of a company’s expenses. The Powerhouse increases voltage and lowers amperage 15-30% or more, reducing the running temperature of motors up to 42%. This results in reduced maintenance and replacement costs of all electrical components throughout a facility. For many facilities, these savings can even exceed the energy savings.
Downtime Savings
Most facilities experience some type of voltage irregularities. Brownouts, line harmonics, surges, spikes and sags cause undue disruption and downtime. The Powerhouse uses pressure sensitive MOV’s that sense these events before they happen. They quickly react to suppress or release energy on demand to block the event, so it never happens, keeping you running.
