Indus electronics india provides maximum demand monitors and controllers. Properties of these maximum demand monitors and controllers includes : demand control based on true power [kw] or apparent; power [kva] or current selectable at site; alarm and three trip signals for demand control; sliding/fixed interval technique selectable; pt/ct programmable at site; six different demand selection, tod settings; communication facility with computer, password protection to avoid unauthorised setting; true rms measurements; and low pf monitoring for each tod. Actual demand in usage should be close to the contracted demand. The actual maximum demand can be curtailed saving considerable electricity charges. A positive method to ensure that maximum demand never exceeds the contracted demand. Maximum demand charges should be saved when power cuts are not in force. When actual demand in use and contracted demand are close, the md controller avoids risk of crossing the limits and penalties and disconnection. There is maximum utilisation of demand during load shedding that helps to use the minimum implant generation and optimum utilisation of both eb power and in plant generation. As a result of these savings, the payback period is low.
