Controlling Voltage

You can use our versatile voltage regulators to dynamically raise or lower the voltage where needed along a secondary line (LV network), so that your service to each customer is in compliance. Compliance is increasingly measured at the customer's meter, not at the substation, making voltage control on the secondary ever more valuable. Controlling voltage with our power electronics on the secondary also can reduce the frequency with which your MV load tap changers need to respond, extending their life. 

Protecting Power Quality

By delivering high-performance voltage regulation without complications, Pacific Volt delivers more value for a lower initial cost. Our LV regulators also reduce the need to have MV tap changers respond rapidly to voltage variations caused by distributed generation, thereby reducing wear and extending their life. Our regulators are capable of four million voltage adjustments per hour, while a medium-voltage tap changer will make about one million voltage adjustments before refurbishment. We build our regulators to last a long time with little or no attention, and they have a stellar history in the field in some very tough environments.

Integrating Distributed Energy Resources

Keeping power quality high reduces the cost of responding to customer complaints. It also strengthens your hand when its necessary to compel customers to police their own power quality issues, and keeps power quality problems created by one customer from impacting another customer.
