Power consumption limiting device

An article on the use of a device that allows you to competently distribute the power supplied by electric networks.

The end of the nineties. All free capacities in distribution networks are almost selected. The prices for obtaining permission to connect capacity are galloping at an awful rate. But in order to give, the population needs power, distribution networks need to reconstruct and build a huge number of networks and distribution substations.

Financing for the modernization program is practically not allocated. The consumer has to shoulder the problems of distribution networks. According to the technical specifications issued by the same networks, reconstruct or build high-voltage lines in order to bring the point of connection of their capacities closer to the place of their own construction. To buy equipment or finance the reconstruction of distribution substations. And all this in order to get to the house or cottage not 3 kW, but at least 10 kW. So, we will talk about this category of consumers. I will give an interesting example of the relationship of this category of consumers.

The end of the nineties, two friends do not spill water, bought two plots of land nearby. The area, size, everything is the same, except for one - one section was closer to the village substation (which was breathing in the air).

Received a temporary permission to connect, for the period of construction. They began to build cottages, naturally each according to its own design. The cottages were built in 2000. They crammed everything they could into them - heating boilers, ventilation, a built-in sauna. And in the temporary permission to connect only 3 kW. It is necessary to obtain constant technical conditions. We calculated that approximately 30 kW is enough for everyone.

Distribution networks issued specifications, but with the so-called encumbrance. Build a 1 km high-voltage line, buy a cell in a distribution substation, replace a village transformer substation, etc.

Nowhere to go, bankers complied with the specifications, received 30 kW of power. But the cottage, not the apartment, is missing something. And the one closer to the transformer substation decided - I want a winter garden. Wanted - done. And instead of 30 kW, he began to choose 40 kW. The second began to run out of power. Turned to a friend - now they are enemies "do not spill water"!

How to get out of this situation? There is a solution to this problem - a device for limiting the power of consumed electricity (UOMPE). Patent No. 2141711 dated November 20, 1999.

The device has passed laboratory and field tests. He showed high reliability and unpretentiousness in operation.

Such devices were installed for the bankers and now the problems in the lack of power have been solved. The summer garden, sauna, and other energy-intensive consumers, while friends do not include. Since the excess of supplied power, at least 1 kW, leads to a temporary shutdown of the entire cottage. The first time for 2 minutes, the second for 8 hours, the third for a while, until a representative of the operating organization arrives and turns on the device again.

By the way, the device contains fiscal functions - you can see: when, how much and by how many kW there was an excess of installed power. If the previously installed power is not enough for the customer, you can reprogram the device, naturally, under certain conditions. The main one is that you need to live in peace with your neighbors!
