How does IPLC control reduce costs?
Two hour power delay
The IPLC control mitigates the initial parking lot power demand with the use of a two hour power delay. This does not impact the starting of the vehicle because the engine is typically warm two hours after turn off. The two hour power delay will guarantee savings regardless of the outside temperatures.
Intelligent Weather Monitoring
The IPLC control constantly monitors weather conditions such as: temperature and wind chill and will only deliver power based on a factory set temperature schedule. This eliminates any excess power usage while ensuring all vehicles will start with ease.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
The IPLC control stops short circuits and tripped breakers making electrical service calls unnecessary. This will reduce the expense of maintenance or electrical staff required to reset tripped parking lot breakers.
Note: The savings of reduced maintanence costs was not included in the savings report figures.
Equipment Diagnosis and Feedback
The IPLC LED lights provide feedback to tell each vehicle operator if their block heater and cord are working properly.
