Spruce up for a TS voltage stabiliser, still in use after 40 years

The longevity of the Claude Lyons TS voltage stabiliser is not just a stroke of luck; it’s a result of meticulous engineering and high-quality materials. These stabilisers were designed to withstand the rigours of time, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding environments. The fact that many units are still in operation today, albeit needing some spare parts, speaks volumes about their durability.

Why Quality Matters

The enduring performance of these stabilisers highlights the importance of investing in quality. Claude Lyons has always been synonymous with reliability and excellence. Our commitment to producing robust and efficient voltage stabilizers has paid off, as evidenced by the long service life of our products. This reliability reduces downtime and maintenance costs, providing significant value over the years.

The Need for Spares

While the core functionality of these stabilisers remains intact, the need for spare parts is inevitable as components age. Fortunately, the availability of spares ensures that these units can continue to function effectively. This ongoing support further underscores Claude Lyons’ dedication to their customers and their products.

Modern TS Series Stabilisers

Even with the reliability and durability of the older TS voltage stabilisers, Claude Lyons engineers have not been complacent. The modern Type 100 Control System represents a significant technological advancement, enhancing reliability by eliminating the potential failure points of end stop micro switches. This digital microprocessor-based system, which senses and controls voltage stabilisers, offers numerous advantages over its analogue predecessors, the Type 80 and Type 90, whose older technology is still used by other providers.

Customer Satisfaction

The Claude Lyons TS voltage stabiliser is more than just a piece of equipment; it’s a symbol of enduring quality and reliability. Its ability to perform consistently for decades is a rare achievement in today’s fast-paced technological landscape. For those who own these voltage stabilisers, it’s a reassuring reminder that investing in quality truly pays off in the long run.

Reduce your energy costs and carbon footprint

Announcing the launch of a website dedicated to a flagship product in the Claude Lyons’ range – PowerSave™. It helps organisations on two, key fronts.

The innovative technology behind PowerSave™ empowers organisations to realise two, high-in-demand objectives today.

The first is concerned with achieving savings on ever-increasing energy bills. And the second feeds into the global environmental goal of reducing the impact of climate change.

PowerSave™ is designed to reduce and regulate the mains voltage used to power electrical equipment. Resulting in lower energy bills, longer-lasting equipment and a reduced carbon footprint.

Two product families in the range – Energy Saving Transformer (EST) and Energy Saving Regulator (ESS) – assist with energy consumption and power regulation and can reduce costs in these areas by up to 10% and 15% respectively. And as each kWh of electrical energy saved is equivalent to 0.43kg of CO2, it also helps with your commitments to carbon reductions. It’s a double-win you can ill-afford to ignore and one which the environment will also thank you for.

Find out more, and discover case studies from businesses already benefiting from power, cost and environment-saving solutions. Visit our PowerSave™ website today.

Cost-saving solution to electricity supply problem

Farmer Nick Gasson has used equipment from Claude Lyons Limited, as a cost-effective method of bringing an electricity supply to a barn conversion building used for holiday lets.

Like so many farmers, Nick will be using the redundant building to boost the income of the farm. The barn is more than half a mile from the main farm buildings and the cost estimated by the local electricity board to bring power to the conversion was enormous.

“I felt I was being held to ransom by a company that wanted £21,000 to install a high voltage line and transformer to the barn,”

Fortunately, a friend who had been in a similar situation advised Nick to contact Claude Lyons. The company was able to provide a solution based on its voltage stabiliser equipment. In this instance, the system steps up the voltage supply to about 550 at the main building and then supplies power along 1200m of cable to the barn, at which point the voltage is reduced back to the standard 230 volts. This method produces an adequate and stable supply to the barn conversion at a fraction of the cost of the alternative suggested by the electricity company.

This is one of many similar problems solved by Claude Lyons whose voltage stabilisers are increasingly used to overcome electricity supply problems to widely spaced outlets. They prove a particularly attractive option to people living in isolated houses or farms needing increased power supply to remote buildings.

More traditionally, they have been used in industrial applications such as the London Underground, where the equipment is used to ensure adequate power supply to stations situated a long distance from the nearest sub station.
