Case Study #13 Voltage Power Optimisation The distribution voltage on the grid has historically been 242V on average. powerPerfector brings that voltage down to 220V, conditioning the power and delivering energy, cost and carbon savings. The cost of an overhaul to the networks that supply our homes and businesses is prohibitive. As such, National Grid will continue to juggle a 242V grid. This is a task that is becoming increasingly difficult, as more forms of sustainable power are added to the grid.
