Successful Powerboss installations can be found within factories, offices, hospitals, airports, convience stores and supermarkets-from the smallest corner shop to the largest industrial complex. Substantial improvements can be made to air conditioning, refrigeration, escalators, presses, compressers, hydrulics, saws injection moulding, pumps, conveyors, crushers...to name but a few.

The UK Energy Efficiency Office has stated ''in typical applications, levels of utilisation are approximately 50% with power losses estimated to between 40% and 80% of the motor full load rating'. Unfortunately, motors have no way of intellegently adjusting the amount of electricity they draw to match the constant variations in demand. Furthermore, when starting, an AC induction motor develops substantially more torque than is required at full speed. This stress is transferred to the mechanical transmission system, which increases wear and failure. Rapid acceleration also has a further impact on the electricity supply charges with high inrush currents drawing upto nine times the normal run current.
