Voltage optimisation saves energy on an installation whose supply voltage is

  • A.unbalanced between the three phases
  • B.above the equipment's nominal rating
  • C.below the equipment's nominal rating
  • D.exactly at the equipment's nominal rating

Answer: B

Resistive loads and many lamps consume more at an elevated voltage without giving proportionally more service, so trimming a supply that sits several per cent high saves real energy. It does nothing for a motor driving a fixed mechanical load, which draws the power the load demands.
