Key Benefits of SATEC Solutions for Industrial Applications

Optimise Energy Usage and Minimise Costs

SATEC solutions help industrial facilities establish energy consumption baselines, track usage trends, and detect inefficient equipment operations. By maintaining real-time insights into energy consumption, businesses can identify areas for improvement, reduce marginal costs, and lower energy costs per unit of production.

Prevent Equipment Damage with Power Quality Monitoring

Industrial equipment is a significant capital investment. Power quality issues, such as voltage sags, harmonics, and surges, can lead to costly damage. SATEC devices continuously monitor power quality, detect anomalies, and provide actionable data to correct issues before they cause damage or disrupt operations.

Verify the Efficiency of Energy Savings Initiatives

Energy-saving solutions—such as motor upgrades, efficient lighting systems, and advanced HVAC controls—require significant investment. SATEC solutions enable businesses to conduct pilot tests and validate the return on investment (ROI) of these initiatives. With accurate data, companies can confidently deploy energy-saving measures across their operations.

Proactive Maintenance and Asset Management

Utility and industrial assets, including transformers, generators, and protection relays, are vital to operations but also expensive to maintain and replace. SATEC devices enable continuous monitoring of these assets, offering real-time data, power quality event recording, and early diagnostics. This allows businesses to perform timely corrective actions, reduce downtime, and prevent costly failures.

Enhanced Accuracy with Medium Voltage LPIT Sensors

SATEC metering solutions are compatible with Medium Voltage Low Power Instrument Transformers (LPITs), providing precise measurements for medium voltage systems. LPITs deliver secondary signals proportional to primary current and voltage values, enabling improved grid visibility and measurement accuracy. Integrating LPIT sensors with SATEC devices enhances real-time monitoring and supports efficient energy management in industrial environments, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for critical applications.
