In Germany alone, this is estimated at over 20 billion kWh per year. In a normal household, around 10 - 20% of the total consumption can go to this account. Savings of several hundred euros per year are therefore easily feasible. But even in the commercial sector it is very easy to screw down the power consumption noticeably by using suitable devices.The power-saving socket AES3 is especially suitable for PC workstations.Everyone knows this from their own experience: After shutting down the PC, all other peripheral devices such as monitor, printer, speakers and drives should be switched off. In practice, we know that this is usually not done. Socket strips with switches often have the disadvantage that they are either unfavorable and uncomfortable under the table or simply forgotten to switch off.The intelligent socket AES3 is equipped with two features, which can solve this problem very easily. On the one hand, the LED-switch can be positioned very comfortably on the desk while the actual socket is located somewhere on the wall in most cases close to the floor. Second, the AES3 simply learns the available standby current by pressing a button, which can vary (depending on the connected devices).The user only shuts down the PC as usual, after one minute the socket completely disconnects and 100% the current flow! Simply switch it on again by pressing a button from the desk (switching capacity up to 2500 W)!It is not only in the private sector, especially for commercial users, that there are incredible savings potentials. According to internal calculations, savings of around 100 kWh are possible per year when a PC workplace is used on average. Depending on the electricity tariff, this would amount to approx. 15 - 20 €. The socket would have paid for itself already after one year.This text is machine translated.
