Work, home, hobbies – in this world it is quite difficult for a person to do everything in one day. The faster pace of life causes many problems, but also offers modern solutions.

Home life is no less vibrant than social life, and its problems are also modern.

Once at home, the first thing a person does is rush to do all the household chores. He is in a hurry to wash, iron, cook, clean.

And at such moments, when they are working – a washing machine, a vacuum cleaner, a kettle, a multicooker and a TV for the background – they are all connected to the power grid and threaten its stability.

What is a voltage stabilizer?

Voltage stabilizer is a device used to stabilize the electric current and maintain a 220V voltage in the network.

Using such a device allows you to protect everything that works from the network from power surges and short circuits, and therefore from fire.

A voltage stabilizer serves the safety of your home.

Let’s move on to the theory – in case you are not too familiar with electricity and are not yet sure that you need a voltage regulator.

How do you know if your electrical system needs help?

• Light bulbs often burn out or flicker.
• The light goes out when more powerful devices are turned on.
• Household appliances operate with unusual sounds and interruptions.

If yes, then you definitely need a voltage stabilizer. And you can order its installation from us – it’s quick and inexpensive.

How does a voltage stabilizer work?

The stabilizer, as you already understood from the description, works with electric current flows. Electric current itself is the directed movement of electrons in a conductor.

Electric current can be direct or alternating.

• A variable changes in direction, magnitude and frequency. Present in high voltage electrical outlets and networks.
• Direct current does not change in any parameter. You can find it in isolated energy sources – batteries, accumulators, etc.

The operation of the circuits of all electronic devices is based on direct current.

They are equipped with devices capable of converting alternating current into direct current, thus stabilizing its supply to the device.

In turn, electricity instability is also divided into two types – permanent and temporary.

• The constant arises due to changes in the capacity of the power line.
• This may occur temporarily due to an overload on the electrical grid and the plant’s inability to compensate for the overload.

If the electrical current supplied to the device is between 200 and 240 volts, the device will operate without problems. As soon as a voltage surge occurs, the circuit is automatically opened to prevent the negative effects of the voltage drop.

The main function of the stabilizer is to smooth out voltage surges, prevent them from triggering and extend their service life.

Types of voltage stabilizers

Stabilizers based on their operating principle are divided into:

1. Electronic.
2. Electromechanical.
3. Ferroresonant.
4. Compensatory.

They are also distinguished by phase, power and accuracy.

Depending on the type of connection, stabilizers are:

• Stationary (connected immediately after the meter).
• Local (installed in front of a specific device or group of devices).

In our company you can find some models that are among the top three most purchased:

Stabilizer “Perfetto”

• Protects electrical equipment from power surges;
• Protects equipment from short circuits;
• Provides long-term or short-term network operation of equipment during a power outage.

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) “Avansa”

• Protects electrical equipment from power surges;
• Protects equipment from short circuits;
• Provides long-term or short-term network operation of equipment during a power outage.

Electronic voltage stabilizers

The electronic stabilizer is very effective and works quickly.

It consists of a transformer winding with many taps. To switch the windings, thyristors (with a microprocessor) and triacs are used.

The device itself does not contain mechanical elements and is therefore resistant to voltage surges.

Advantages:

• Compactness.
• Silence
• Protects electrical device components from damage
• Save money because we eliminate the possibility of repairing electrical components of complex devices

Electromechanical voltage stabilizers

In them, with the help of an electric motor located inside the coil, a brush with a graphite tip moves along the turns of the winding.

Due to differences from the previous type, accuracy increases and productivity decreases.

Advantages:

• Simplicity and reliability of design..
• High efficiency..
• Durability.

Flaws:

• It wears out quickly because it uses mechanical parts in its design.
• Poor performance.

Ferroresonant voltage stabilizers

Such devices consist of several turns of wire wound around capacitor rods. They work, as you probably guessed, on the principle of ferroresonance – voltage stabilization by changing the phase of the current.

Advantages:

• Fiabilitate.
• Durată lungă de viață.
• Viteză mare de reglare.

Flaws:

• Low efficiency.
• Large dimensions.
• Noise.
• High price.

Differences between phase stabilizers

• Voltage stabilizers differ in phase into single-phase and three-phase.
• Single-phase stabilizers are designed for home networks with a voltage of 220V. These stabilizers are installed in most apartments.

Advantages:

• Continuous input voltage monitoring.

Flaws:

• Low response.
• Noise.

How to choose a voltage stabilizer?

Two main features that you should pay attention to when choosing:

Power – calculate the sum of the capacities of your household appliances that will be constantly connected to the network (refrigerator, stove, TV, etc.), add 20% to the resulting number.

Accuracy – see product label.

• for small range fluctuations: N – narrow, Pt – high-precision;
• for strong vibrations: W- wide;
• for medical equipment – ​​Ptt, Ptt.

As with any electrical work, it is better to entrust the installation of a voltage stabilizer to a professional. Otherwise, you may choose the wrong materials and compromise the safety of your home.

Do not skimp on your own comfort, especially when it is possible to order services for installing stabilizers at competitive prices.
