VOLTA
Electrical network regulation, protection and optimization
No one should buy electrical equipment blindly. Losses, voltage drops, imbalances and overvoltage are not solved with a generic recommendation: the network must be measured first.
What it includes
Optimization starts with data
VOLTA solutions for regulation, protection, monitoring and performance of medium and low voltage networks.
VROT: optimization for low-voltage networks.
VTOP: dry-type transformer with reclosing and automation.
Harmonic filtering and better load balance.
Loss location with GPS coordinates.
SCADA integration.
The equipment
What the VOLTA line looks like
Manufacturer renders of the units described above.
MVROT
Regulator and optimizer for medium voltage. Filters harmonics, improves load balance and reports losses reduced to around 4%.
VTOP
Dry-type transformer with re-closer mechanism, disconnectors and automation for medium-voltage lines.

Process
How we manage a request
We review every request before responding, so we do not send a generic proposal that fails to solve the need.
01
We understand the problem
Voltage drops, losses, intermittence, overvoltage or recurring failures.
02
We gather information
Diagrams, voltage levels, records, bills, curves and load characteristics.
03
We measure and analyze
Current, voltage, energy and peak load in 15-minute intervals, with a weekly load profile when applicable.
04
We define the solution
We evaluate MVROT, VROT, VTOP or other measures and verify before and after results.
Kaplan Industry
Reported benefits, validated by measurement
The VOLTA line —of Canadian origin, with patents approved in North America and Europe— includes MVROT (regulation and optimization in medium voltage), VROT (low voltage) and VTOP (dry-type transformer with reclosing and automation). The manufacturer’s documentation reports a reduction of distribution losses from around 10% to about 4%, a return on investment of 2 to 3 years or less, harmonic filtering, better load balance and loss location with GPS coordinates. There is also a pilot project program with no equipment or technical intervention cost, to validate results before any purchase decision. These figures are validated with measurements, comparable cases and the real conditions of each network before being published as a commercial promise.
Savings, ROI and international cases correspond to the manufacturer’s documentation. They are technically validated for each network; absolute guarantees are not published.
International cases
Results documented in other countries
Reported by the manufacturer for projects outside Venezuela; results vary by network and conditions.
01
Tbilisi, Georgia
VROT technology installed across 123 km of public lighting; a 1.23 km pilot was completed in 2 hours, evaluated as superior to Philips and Schneider.
02
Greece
Every VTOP transformer is independently tested before shipping; product consistency won the bid over manufacturers such as ABB and Arteche.
03
Sweden and England
In consortium with Radius, the VTOP —the first transformer with extra protection against overvoltage and impulsive loads— is now part of European standards.
04
Germany, Slovenia and Croatia
In consortium with Archea Biogas, VTOP units installed across all three countries; VROT technology was rated best in its class at development centers in Germany, Norway and Finland.
05
Serbia (Elektroprivreda Belgrade)
More than 100 dry regulating transformers delivered on time after winning international tender No. 28-16 (2016), with installation completed without delays.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does VOLTA guarantee reducing losses to a fixed value?
It should not be presented as a general guarantee. Figures are reported benefits and must be validated according to topology, load and conditions.
Can it integrate with SCADA?
Documentation reports SCADA integration. Feasibility depends on protocols, infrastructure, cybersecurity and compatibility.
Do I need an electrical study to start?
Not necessarily. Send diagrams, bills or a description of the problem and we will indicate what measurements are needed.
Can I test the equipment before deciding to buy?
There is a manufacturer pilot project program, with no equipment or technical intervention cost, to validate results on the client’s network. Scope is defined based on interest and the conditions of each case.
