for casinos, there are three key games in energy: reliablility, capacity and savings

Every gaming house needs to count on the right energy being generated 24x7, 365 days a year to power their revenues and their profits. That means on-going reliability, low operating costs and a power distribution system which provides the capacity promised by every rated transformer in its system. Computer loaded transformers however can suffer from damaging 3rd harmonic currents which when active cause excess heat waste electricity and diminish transformer capacity which raise operating costs. To counter this, many casinos across the country have installed Harmonic Limited’s  Harmonic Suppression System patented technology (HSS) in either new installations or onto currently operating units. Both the TransMax, for new installations, and the SysteMax, for existing PDU’s, actually prevent the 3rd harmonic from occurring,  thereby enabling the transformers to run at full rated capacity at low temperatures and reduced energy levels. Thus the reliability of the energy and the system needed is increased.

On an annual basis HSS saves from 4% to 8% of energy costs for the life of every transformer to which it is embedded or applied and delivers a quickly realized and unusually attractive ROI. As awareness and recognition of the HSS technology have grown, numerous casinos have adopted it and are now realizing reduced operating costs. Among these are the Stations Casino (NV), Chickasaw Casino (OK), Foxwoods Casino (CT) and Snoqualmie Casino (WA).
