These faults arc "Brownouts" and "Spikes" from the electric utility provider and cause equipment and electronics to be damaged. Since the problem is from the utility, we have explored options that protect the entire house electrical. Because the electrical service for the house is large and single phase, it makes equipment difficult to find availability and price. The following are 3 options we obtained information on. Option 1 - Two Voltage conditioners 240 volt, 200 KVA Estimated Price $103,000.00 Voltage Conditioners 2 x $28,000.00 = $56,000.00 Freight $ 2,000.00 Engineering $ 5,000.00 Wire, Conduit, Crane $10,000.00 Labor Installation $30,000.00 Option 2 — Two Voltage Regulators 240 Volt, 200 KVA Estimated Price $117,000.00 Voltage Regulators 2 x 35,000.00 = $70,000.00 Freight $ 2,000.00 Engineering $ 5,000.00 Wire, Conduit, Crane $10,000.00 Labor Installation $30,000.00 Option 5 - Two UPS 240 Volt, 200 KVA Estimated Price $450,000.00 UPS 2 x 200,000.00 = $400,000.00 Freight $ 2,000.00 Engineering $ 5,000.00 Wire, Conduit, Crane $10,000.00 Labor Installation $33,000.00 Please note that these prices arc budget numbers and not a fixed quote. Pricing was obtained from a local supplier in the research of this equipment. I hope this information is helpful. I am also attaching a brochure and a simple riser diagram to help explain this information. Thank You Duane Zachman EFTA00600675 "CO Modular Power Conditioning s or System The Staco Energy Products Company Automatic Voltage Regulator is based on a series regulation transformer controlled by variable transformers (Ws). It offers tight output regulation, robust design and easy customization. In today's world, the cost of electrical power and its quality have become major operating concerns.The continuing increase in the cost of electrical power has heightened interest in energy savings, and poor power quality has been identified as a cause of expensive malfunctions and shutdowns in new high technology equipment. Voltage regulation problems account for more than 90% of the power problems seen at most sites. The Staco Energy's base Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) provides protection against all but the most extreme voltage swings. When additional non-voltage issues occur, Staco Energy offers a series of options that address such issues as high voltage transients, high harmonic content and site load balance. This integrated and targeted approach provides site- specific power correction in a one-box solution. Warranty The industry leading three-year warranty is our guarantee that Staco Energyoffers the toughest, most robust Voltage Regulation System on the market today. r e's.•••rer" SWF.'
