Lucid Load Results

Coldwater Seafood Corporation of Cambridge, Maryland, installed 11 Lucid Load units on the north end of its plant. When the facility experienced what was believed to be a major voltage sag, the unprotected south end sustained considerable electrical damage, including failed transformers, burned-out refrigeration motors, damaged motor-starter coils, and refrigeration system failure. The protected north end sustained no damage, even though it typically drew 10 to 20 times more power than the south end.
