How EME Power Systems Can Help Customers Save Energy on Existing and New High-Voltage Equipment

27th May 2026

In today’s energy-intensive environment, reducing operational costs has become a priority for businesses across every sector. While many companies focus on upgrading machinery or investing in renewable technologies, significant savings can often be achieved by optimising existing high-voltage electrical equipment.


At EME Power Systems, we specialise in helping businesses improve the performance, reliability, and efficiency of their existing high-voltage systems. Through detailed inspections, engineering expertise, and targeted upgrades, we help customers reduce energy losses, lower maintenance costs, and extend the lifespan of critical electrical infrastructure.

Our detailed inspections, carried out as part of a planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedule, include non-intrusive oil sampling of site transformers. These inspections are designed to preserve asset condition and operating efficiency, reduce the risk of costly downtime caused by faults, and maximise the reliable working life of critical equipment — helping customers avoid unexpected replacement costs.

One example of our engineering expertise is voltage management. Rather than investing in costly bolt-on optimisation equipment, many existing transformers can be “tapped down” using the built-in tap changer to manually adjust the transformer voltage ratio. This practical approach can deliver effective voltage management and energy savings by making better use of existing infrastructure.

While effective PPM schedules can significantly extend asset lifespan, many facilities still operate high-voltage equipment that has been in service for decades. Although these systems may remain operational, they often no longer meet modern efficiency standards and will eventually require replacement. At EME Power Systems, we maintain a stock of new, lower-loss equipment, allowing planned or emergency replacements that can deliver substantial energy savings compared with older units.

Existing high-voltage equipment often offers untapped opportunities to improve efficiency, reliability, and performance. When existing assets reach the limits of their capability, modern replacement equipment can deliver even greater operational and cost-saving benefits.

At EME Power Systems, we help customers unlock these savings while enhancing system reliability, safety, and overall operational performance.
