How the IPLC Works
IPLC’s microprocessor measures both temperature and windchill and is factory
programmed to deliver no power above –5º C. It infinitely varies power delivery
from 10 percent on-time at –5º C to 100 percent on time at –25º C and colder.
This configuration delivers 65 percent in power savings, but circuits can be
individually adjusted to change this schedule. Once the IPLC device first detects
a functioning block heater, it cuts power for the first two hours, recognizing how
long it will take a hot engine to cool to a temperature requiring block-heater
support. IPLC circuits can also be programmed to accept a maximum load to
prevent the use of in-car heaters, and will warn drivers of an overload so
they can disconnect their in-car heater. The IPLC reduces tripped breakers
because it cuts power directly at the outlet. It continually monitors the circuit,
restoring power when a detected short or overload problem is removed.
How the Program Works
Participants fill out an application available at the link below.
Submit your applcation along with a cheque for the full amount shown on the application to the Greater Sudbury Hydro (GSH) office and pick up your IPLCs. Install them in your parking lot and notify GSH when completed. We will verify then installation and operation. If all the units purchased are installed and operating GSH will rebate the purchase cost of the IPLC back to you.
If you supply 3 competitive estimates for labour to install the IPLC's and the final invoice with proof of payment for the installation, GSH will rebate a portion of the labour back as well.
