Features & Benefits

POWER FACTOR

Power Factor Correction & Proprietary Capacitors

• After years of painstaking research and testing, GESPER has identified the optimal materials and components that maximize power quality and save energy
• GESPER's capacitors are built to its proprietary specifications and are custom manufactured only for GESPER
• GESPER's custom capacitors are a key contributor to its ability to significantly raise a facility's power quality
• Higher power factor allows motors to run more efficiently by providing them better, more productive power
• Better power factor allows machines to do more, with less power, saving energy

HARMONIC CORRECTION

Negative Effect of Harmonics

• Apply reverse torque to motors
• Disrupt electronic performance
• Overheat components and neutral conductors
• Damage motors, electronics, circuit breakers and transformers, etc.

Harmonics Correction

• Filters harmonics emanating from VFDs, computers, DC ballasts for fluorescent lights, and other nonlinear loads

SURGE PROTECTION

UL 1449 3rd Edition Type 4 SPD

• Provides protection against external surges and spikes, and sacrifices itself in event of catastrophic surge to protect equipment
• Per new UL Standards each component is visible and has a red indicator which becomes visible through clear cover if tripped by a surge
• Provides a $2 million surge insurance policy
• Meets UL's latest Surge Protection Device Standards
• Thermal protection is designed to open, and will shunt the overvoltage to ground in a surge event
• Patent pending TMOV cutoff function with special disconnect design and arc extinguishing device
• Low leakage current and high surge capability

kWh Reduction

• Reduced kWh derived from higher power factor, reduced harmonics and line losses, and lower demand peaks
• Documented 10% reduction in kWh usage, with  a median average of 19% reduction in kWh usage. 
• Savings are measured using the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP)

EQUIPMENT LIFE

Increased Equipment Life

• GESPER decreases motor temperatures due to reduced harmonics & higher power quality
• Every 10° motor temperature is decreased, the life of equipment is doubled
• Temperature reduction will vary per machine
• Modulates voltage and reduces internal surges, prolonging life of electronics, lighting, etc.
• Extends equipment life and reduces maintenance costs due to lower rates of equipment failure
• OSHA Safe, reduces chance of fire, electrical shock & effects
