Abitibi-Price, one of the world's largest ground wood pulp manufacturers, sought a solution to reduce the significant electricity costs associated with operating its facilities. With electricity representing one of the company’s largest operating expenses, the engineering team evaluated Lucid Load power conditioning technology through extensive testing.

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.
