04-Dec-2011: Sneak Peek of MS301 Series of Movement Sensor Switch that can handle Air conditioners and save energy!
We are taking further our non-conventional concepts of energy savings further, with the new MS301 series product line that cand handle upto 2.2kW load. (Enough to handle your normal window/split type air conditioners in offices).
Prototype of MS301 series product.
Question1: Can I use it to control the air conditioner in my bedroom?
Answer: No, it is not designed for use in bedrooms... where avenues of energy savings are very low. It is instead designed to be used in office cabins with individual split air conditioners where energy savings potential is huge.
Question 2: What is the potential energy savings from using this in an office?
Answer: Consider a 2 kilo-watts rating air conditioner. Switching it off for an hour per day (when not in use) can save a potential of 2 units per day.... (This being a minimal 1 hour per day savings). This can save monthly approximately 60 units of power (Rs. 500 at commercial tarriff at the minimum) per month! In offices where there is potential of 2-4 hours savings on AC usage, per day and so the return on investment per month is very high between (Rs. 1000-2000 per month).
Question 3: Can it be used to switch any kind of load that is under 2.2 kW?
Answer: Yes! Though we cannot think of any energy saving in appliance other than Air conditioner for such a high load. Alternately it can be used to control lots of lightings in a public building etc (Say high wattage halogen lamps etc) as long as total load does not exceed 2.2kW. Frequently Asked Questions:
