- Use as much natural lighting as possible by use of translucent roofing sheets.
- Use localized / task lighting schemes instead of general lighting systems.
- Maintenance program should be undertaken often.
- Select and use transformers having fewer losses. Locate the transformer / substation near the load center.
- Identify under loaded transformers and redistribute the load for optimum performance.
- Incorporate a warning system in the maximum demand indicator so as to enable immediate steps to be taken.
- Reduce maximum demand by optimizing loading, staggering the start/ stop of high HP motors, and flattening the load curve.
- Maintain the peak load power factor as close to unity as is possible.
- Replace all paper cables having a high leakage factor with new PVC / XLPE cable.
- Balance all the loads of 3 phases with 1% as voltage imbalance results in higher loses.
- Choose the motor size to match the load and use the highest motor speed.
- Replace wound motors by standard motors where efficiency of wound motors is poor.
- Automate or semi-automate machine drive controls as much as possible.
- Use viable speed motors instead of adopting control by dumping, throttling etc.
- Do not use loose or excessively tight belts, check alignment and use appropriate lubricants to reduce on frictional losses.
- When using a furnace, keep the opening as minimum as possible and insulate it effectively.
