While power quality remains the uppermost priority, energy consumption has also become a priority for lab managers. They face an increasing need for more energy in their individual labs. “The people who manage these labs are continually adding load to the grid, and they often tap out or exceed the limit on the power of that particular circuit. When the increased power demand trips the circuit breaker, they lose significant revenue,” says Rick Coan, vice president of the Controls Division of CES.
