We use various electrical equipments in day2day life. Each of them operates at various voltage ratings (1.5v to 220v).  Can it be consolidated to 3/4 types/ratings like 5V, 12V, 110V & 220V.  Once identified and done, these rated lines will be catered directly by power distribution companies, so that a single home will have 3-4 lines coming in.

This will help to reduce power conversion losses, no need to have transformers in each of the devices, reduce heat & portability will be increased tremendously.  This way we may be able to save huge amount of energy, which is now wasted.

Whenever there is a power shortage/load shading, power distribution companies can use generators and supply lower voltages to operate small devices.

Few simple examples: a)all mobile handsets shall get charged at say 5v, then there is no need of keeping chargers b) All computers will be working without power convertors/SMPS, reduce size, reduce heat, increase performance of air conditioning and save electricity 

Like to have views of experts. Thanks for joining.

1 Not a feasible solution!
2 Save electricity and move towards green earth

Not a feasible solution!

idea posted by Nilesh Jain Project Manager, A Leading Media/Telecom Co.

1) Will require huge investments

2) Loss of employment

3) Uniformity across equipment manufacturers

Having supplies of different voltage & current is not viable as basic installation cost would be very huge. Also since the thought is for different voltage & current the transmission has to be maintained with wide gap and different conductors to be used with diff. capacities which again would imply on high basic costing.

Hence it is not viable and applicable

Add your argument:

Save electricity and move towards green earth

idea posted by Nilesh Jain Project Manager, A Leading Media/Telecom Co.

1) Reduction in heat generated by power conversions/transformers will also help to reduce usage of air conditioning system, and hence energy saving can be achieved.

2) Devices will become cheaper as transformer/SMPS cost will be zero

3) Basic/Lower powered equipments can continue to work in case of power shortages

4) Toxic materials used in power circuitry can be reduced

5) And may be many more to list...
