In rural households, lighting systems often waste electricity due to aging equipment and improper configuration. By optimizing electrical ready board management, energy consumption can be significantly reduced. The following 5 practical tips can help reduce electricity bills by 30% directly.

1、 Eliminate high energy consuming lighting fixtures and switch to LED light sources

Traditional incandescent lamps convert only 10% of electrical energy into light, while the rest is wasted in the form of heat energy, while LED lamps have an efficiency of over 80%. For example, replacing a 100W incandescent bulb with a 15W LED bulb would result in the same brightness and 10 times longer lifespan. If rural households are fully replaced, lighting energy consumption can be reduced by more than 70%.

2、 Reasonably plan the circuit and reduce resistance losses

Rural electrical ready boards often experience voltage drops due to excessively long and narrow lines, requiring lamps to operate at higher power. Suggestion:

Shorten the length of lighting circuits and avoid circuitous wiring;

Select the appropriate wire diameter based on the load current (such as 2.5mm ² copper wire for 10A load);

Regularly check the circuit connectors to prevent oxidation and poor contact from causing additional heating.

This can reduce line losses by 15% -20%.

3、 Install intelligent sensing switch

Use human infrared sensing switches in areas such as courtyards and warehouses to turn on lights when people come and off lights when people leave, avoiding the phenomenon of long on lights. A test conducted by a certain farmer showed that after installing an induction switch, the electricity consumption of courtyard lighting decreased by 65%.

4、 Control lighting in different time periods

By installing timers in the electrical ready board and setting the lighting in non essential areas such as corridors and toilets to "automatically turn off at night", or adjusting the opening time of street lights according to farming schedules, more than 20% of ineffective electricity consumption can be reduced.

5、 Regular maintenance of electrical ready board equipment

Clean the dust inside the electrical ready board to prevent overheating of components; Check whether the circuit breaker and leakage protector are sensitive to avoid continuous power supply of the circuit due to faults. Aging capacitors and inductors need to be replaced in a timely manner to reduce reactive power loss.

Implementation effect: Taking rural households with an average monthly electricity fee of 200 yuan as an example, after comprehensive application of the above techniques, lighting related electricity fees can be reduced to below 140 yuan, saving over 700 yuan annually. Simple renovation can achieve long-term energy conservation and help promote low-carbon living in rural areas.
