With the current shortage of electricity in South Africa the need to save energy has become critical to the future of our economy.

Sightlines 2003 has a dedicated energy saving division that concentrates on saving energy in areas where energy is being wasted. It is a known fact that a motor running below 50% load is wasting tremendous amounts of energy. This excess energy is being converted to heat and vibration in the motor and not only wasting energy but also reducing the life of the motor.

Somar in the U.K. has developed an award winning high efficiency motor optimiser which can save up to 50% of the energy being used by fixed speed motors running at varying duty cycles.

Tests run in South Africa have given the following results so far.

75 kW 1.5 meter diameter hot metal saw. 18% Savings
1000 ton energy saving LG injection moulding machine 24% Savings
500 ton flywheel press 51% Savings

The Somar Integra optimiser has been tested by Pretoria university and these results are available on request.

As motors use more than 50% of all power in South Africa it can be seen that tremendous savings can be made with The Somar Integra motor optimiser.
