If it is about optimizing and avoiding fines and in this article we will explain why and what some of the electrical studies consist of, without neglecting the investment issue that is so important for companies. We have already addressed the issue of the power factor and how it can play in our favor or against us depending on the range where it is, and this implies fines or bonuses on our electricity bill. If you have not yet read our article on the POWER FACTOR you can see it at this link https://bit.ly/3EWDG3C Before getting into the subject, we share with you 2 examples of receipts...

The power factor is used to indicate the amount of energy that has been converted into work, or in simpler words, it is an indicator of the correct use of energy. The optimal range for the power factor is between 0 and 1, where 1 is the ideal value, which indicates that all the energy consumed by electrical devices has been transformed into work. A low power factor (less than 0.90) means that energy is being wasted, which can cause an unnecessary increase in billing and, therefore, penalties. The penalties or bonuses are applied as follows: when the PF (power factor) is less than 0.90,...

Energy deficiency is an issue that is becoming more and more evident in the big cities of the world, and our city is no exception, as the city grows, the demand for electricity also grows, which is complicated to supply due to the accelerated rate of growth. On average, if the maquiladora industry produced at least a percentage of the energy it consumes, much of this shortage problem would be solved. Fortunately, there are alternatives to this situation that, in addition to bringing economic advantages for users, contribute to caring for the environment. When it comes to supplying the main...

To put ourselves in context, let’s start by understanding how electricity is distributed in our country. The process begins in a generating plant, the energy that is produced here is transported through high voltage transmission lines, and later the energy arrives at a substation where the voltage is lowered to be distributed in medium voltage, once it has the right voltage for the medium voltage, it begins to be derived to the distribution lines and then transformed into a voltage suitable for consumption. After the long journey that electrical energy makes, we arrive at the distribution...

Let’s analyze the subject in this way, the transformer is the heart of the electrical installation and the wiring networks are the arteries, for the whole body to function properly we need a strong and healthy heart. Substation maintenance is not an issue that we can ignore or handle lightly, it requires time, planning and a correct diagnosis made by experts in order to achieve the main objective, the optimal functioning of our electrical installations. A correct review consists of inspecting each of the elements of the substation visually and mechanically looking for wear, corrosion...
