5 STEPS TO REDUCE YOUR ELECTRICITY LOAD

Take these steps to help reduce your energy consumption and pay less electricity bill.

1. Shutdown your computer*

You should disconnect your desktop computer, monitor, laptop, printer, scanner, modem, or anything connected to these elements after use.
Turn them off every night and when they are not in active use. It means making a habit of unplugging appliances to save energy and not leaving them in standby mode.

*2. Choose the right light*

LED bulbs are the most energy efficient lighting option. LED bulbs use 75% less electricity than incandescent bulbs (Energy Star).

*3. Eliminate vampire power: unplug idle electronics.*

Vampire appliances are those that drain electricity even when you switch them off but leave them plugged in. They contribute to phantom load bills, equal to almost 23% of the total energy consumption.
These devices and electronics are phone and laptop charges and entertainment devices like game consoles, TV units, DVR, etc. Remove them from the electrical sockets immediately after charging to 100% or when switching them off.

Devices like televisions, microwaves, scanners, and printers use standby power, even when off. Some chargers continue to pull small amounts of energy, even when plugged in (a good judge of this is if a charger feels warm to the touch).

*4. Use a power strip to reduce your plug load.*

To avoid paying for this "vampire power," use a power strip to turn all devices off at once. Flipping the switch on your power strip has the same effect as unplugging each socket from the wall, preventing phantom energy loss.

*5. Turn off the lights.*

Just one switch to off all the unused lights and you're done!

WHY DO YOU NEED A CIRCUIT BREAKER?

 A circuit breaker is an electrical safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by an overcurrent or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow to protect equipment and to prevent the risk of fire. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation.

Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect low-current circuits or individual household appliances, to large switchgeae designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an entire city. The generic function of a circuit breaker, or fuse, as an automatic means of removing power from a faulty system, is often abbreviated as OCPD (Over Current Protection Device). 

In order to keep our electrical components & system safe,  it is mandatory to protect our system against the below faults. This leads to the need of circuit breakers in our electrical system because many kind of abnormal conditions are there which exist in our electrical system that have the potential to damage the circuit & its components.  These conditions re defined as 'FAULTS'. Further,  faults is categoried as mentioned below;

• Overload

• Short-circuit 

• Earth

WHICH SOLAR BATTERY IS THE BEST FOR YOUR HOME ? 

   We have a wide selection of solar PV batteries. Selecting the right type of solar battery will depend on how you plan to maintain the battery and the surrounding environment.

   FLOODED BATTERIES 

Typically, flooded batteries are the most affordable and most used solar battery, but they come with some maintenance requirements.

• First, flooded batteries need to be maintained with distilled water as it evaporated, so these batteries are best suited for a location where you live.
• Second, flooded batteries generally require a once a month equalization charge to prevent against acid stratification. Acid stratification is the process where the acid and water electrolyte separate or stratifies. The equalization charge will boil the battery to mix up the electrolyte and helps to reduce sulfation that occurs on the lead plates.
• Lastly, flooded batteries have an average lifespan of 3 to 5 years like other lead acid batteries. However, with proper maintenance and chemicals additives such as Battery Equaliser life expectancy can reach more than 5 years easily.

 AGM BATTERIES

• AGM batteries are great for the home away from home. We find our customer use AGM batteries for their vacation cabins, or solar system where maintaining water levels within the battery would be difficult. AGM batteries are a sealed maintenance free battery that has a liquid electrolyte poured into the battery, it is charged, and then sealed.
• The electrolyte in an AGM battery is suspended in the fiberglass matting surrounding the lead plates. This dramatically reduces water loss and gassing of the battery during repeated charge and discharge cycles.
• AGM batteries can hold under load at a lower depth of discharge over flooded and gel batteries. While no lead acid battery likes to be excessively discharged, an AGM battery can hold under a higher amp load in most cases up to 80% depth of discharge.
• 
  
•  GEL BATTERIES 

• Gel batteries have a silica-based electrolyte that has a slower chemical reaction. This electrolyte is unique over the flooded and AGM batteries with a liquid electrolyte and it comes with some pros and cons.
• Gel batteries are best suited for locations that see extreme weather. The battery is more freeze tolerant in colder weather due to the thick paste for an electrolyte. In warmer weather, a lead acid battery’s chemical reaction increases causing the battery to sulfate quicker. Since a gel battery already has a slower chemical reaction it can tolerate warmer weather over its flooded or AGM counterparts.
• Gel batteries are more tolerable to excessive discharge over flooded and AGM batteries. This is due to the slower chemical reaction within the battery that causes the battery to sulfate slower. However, the slower chemical reaction doesn’t make them a good choice for an application that requires a high load in an excessive discharge state.laraphz global technology
