“Rulac Energy Saver for Central Lighting System

Rulac Energy Saver for Gas Discharge lamp (Sodium / mercury/ metal halide/ florescent) Microprocessor based Energy Conservation Controller for HPSV/ HPMV / MH/TFL lamps. STREET LIGHTS in any city are forming a large part of electrical load effectively contributing a large sum in electricity bills of any Municipal Corporation / Municipal council or any large establishment. Obviously lighting load attracts the major attention for implementation of Energy Conservation Techniques. The ways in which this can be achieved are – 1)Improved operating and maintenance 2)Improved operating sequence to eliminate losses and work at higher efficiency.

NECESSITY/ NEED
• Incoming voltages from the utility and electricity companies vary from time to time ·
• Voltage drops during the peak hours and shoots up during the night hours. ·
• All the gas discharge lamps to ignite and operate correctly should be fed with
• impedance that does not vary ± 5% of the nominal impedance. ·
• Low impedance at the time of ignition and highest impedance during the operation are
• extremely critical for the life span of lighting sources. ·
• How to extend the life of the lamps. ·
• How to reduce maintenance cost. ·
• Higher impedance means.
  - More power consumed and wasted.
  - Excessive heating in the equipment.
  - Reduces the effective life and also increase the fire risk.
  
  
  FEATURES
• Real time based fully automatic micro controller based switching devices
• Closed loop output power monitoring and correction leading to high power saving
• HPSV lamps are protected from getting exposed to high voltage and thereby
• life of lamps is increased leading to sizable saving in replacement costs.
• Lamps are always switched ON Automatically @ 100% intensity for a predefined period to ensure positive glow - striking and then
• switchover to preprogrammed energy saving status
• Due to increased lamp life inconvenience to public till the blown lamp replaced is reduced.
• User friendly keyboard commands for system programming, as desired.
• The system shows display of Real time to monitor the condition prevailing at that hour
• RTC configured program back up, in absence of mains power.
• LED display to indicate the status of energy saving in progress
• Entire assembly housed in cabinet with locking facility
• Energy saving upto 35%
• Easy to install
• No modification required in the present lighting distribution system
• Manual operation is possible for maintenance work.
• Faster pay back period – less than 12 months.
• Works in ambient of 550C
• 100% depreciation allowed.
• Electronic locking facility to prevent unauthorised tampering of the program
• Built in intelligent voltage sensing mechanism to ensure maximum energy saving & simultaneously increasing lamp life substantially
