Exclusive XPS Technology

There’s a significant difference between Xium's XPS Electricity Management System and the traditional Power Factor Correction equipment currently on the market. Xium's new and unique frequency dependent technology offers significant benefits to the user versus the traditional line dependent technology incorporated in other PFC devices available today. Although the XPS system will improve the power factor and potentially reduce demand charges in commercial and industrial applications, PFC is only one of several performance criteria designed into the XPS products.

Traditional ‘line dependent’ PFC devices installed in series are vulnerable to everyday electrical conditions such as transient voltage conditions which may impact both short-term and long-term performance. Heat management is a major concern for any electronic device since excessive heat will often hinder performance and may even cause devices to deteriorate and fail over time. Xium's new XPS technology is a passive, non-polarized device designed to operate in parallel with the electrical circuit and it operates at significantly lower temperature than traditional PFC devices even under consistently high loads. The XPS products are guaranteed to perform by a manufacturers warranty for a minimum of five years and have a twenty-five year life expectancy.

Traditional ‘line dependent’ PFC devices have a history of well documented safety issues when operating under unpredictable stress loads. ‘Line dependent’ devices are subject to direct hits from voltage fluctuations, distorted line harmonics, and line surges that may take their internal components beyond normal operating conditions, resulting in potentially dangerous capacitor malfunctions. Capacitor performance may also be compromised when they are frequently subjected to operational conditions beyond steady-state conditions. When capacitors are compromised by excessive heat, the internal construction tends to break down, permanently affecting performance. Heat that builds up inside traditional capacitors can cause the internal materials to expand and even rupture. Eventually an over heated capacitor loses the ability to perform rendering the device useless. In many documented cases the outer casings of the capacitors have dramatically expanded from the internal pressure caused by heat. In the worst case scenarios capacitors have been known to ‘blow”, potentially resulting in damage to the electrical system as well as people and other property.

The unique design of the XPS provides a long-lasting and cost effective approach for improving power factor, reducing kVA demand, reducing kVAR, reducing amp loads, while improving voltages across single and three phase circuits.

Electricity that comes to your home from a substation has characteristics that are not ideal for your home or business, namely a poor Power Factor (PF). A poor PF can result in wires and motors overheating, shortening the life of your appliances or equipment and putting your electrical system at risk. When the PF is improved, motors will be more efficient due to them starting with less stress and running cooler, thus prolonging their life expectancy.

If you experience any static 'noise' on your phone or TV, the XPS Electricity Management Systems may reduce or eliminate the static by reducing noise on the powerline. Powerline noise can also damage sensitive electronic equipment like computers, wireless devices and more. It can even cause data loss if phone lines or a cable service is used for an internet connection.

Lastly, the XPS manages voltage transients. These are parasitic voltage spikes created by electronic sources in your home or business. These voltage spikes, if not managed, can reduce the life expectancy of appliances and can even cause light bulbs to burn out prematurely.

Now, thanks to the XPS Electricity Management Systems, there is a smart way to manage your home's or business's energy 24/7, reducing your electricity demand.

XPS Electricity Management Systems improve the Power Factor by reducing the amount of reactive power that the load draws from the utility company. This is accomplished by supplying the reactive power locally at the load by the use of specifically designed capacitors. These capacitors store the reactive power needed for stabilizing electric current within an inductive load. Therefore, the amount of reactive power purchased from the power company results in "lower utility costs if the power factor clause is enforced or the utility charges for the kVA demand."

XPS Electricity Management Systems are designed to reduce the kilovolt-amps (kVA or apparent power) on inductive motors in the home or business. "The XPS Systems have been scientifically proven to consistently reduce kVAR, kVA and Amp values under constant kW load while improving Power Factor in homes or businesses."

The XPS Systems are a must for locations using kVA, Smart or Demand Meters. Since utility companies are switching to these types of meters for most homes and businesses, the XPS Systems are an absolute fit for today's energy saving needs.
