Does The Ark work for resistive devices?
Typically, a resistive device that is specifically designed to produce constant power (including some lighting and ovens/ electrical kiln heating) will result in a lower level of savings. For this type of equipment, although the voltage supply is reduced, the device is rated so that it will draw more current to provide constant power. If we are placing an Ark on a general light and power load, it will usually contain a mixture of electrical load types, and savings are aggregated across all the equipment. The effect of any resistive devices upon the energy savings is factored into your projected financial payback during the site assessment stage.
