Stabilizer

Monday, August 15, 2011 Labels:

An electrical force is sent out every time electricity is generated, with the measurement of the strength in volts or voltage. Problems occur when the voltage being received by equipment is not constant, i.e., there are fluctuations, which can be damaging to the motors and other parts. A way to solve this problem is to install a voltage stabilizer to stabilize the incoming volts.

Conversion

One specification and feature is the ability to convert from 110/120 volts to 220/240 volts and back again, thus allowing the use of different types of equipment that utilize different voltages. A stabilizer that has this feature can keep the voltage stable at both specifications, which is ideal in countries with electrical grids that do not produce constant flows of energy.

Voltage Variance

According to ABC Technology (Pvt.) Ltd., an electrical and electronics engineering company, variances in the voltage received by motors can cause failure of winding, which leads to other engine problems. Because of this, maintenance of a steady voltage rate is crucial. While voltage stabilizers do not keep the voltage exactly the same, these units keep the variance rate within the level of tolerance necessary to prevent a damaging surge.

Non U.S. Use

Using electrical devices outside of the United States requires equipment that is specifically designed for that use. One specification of a voltage stabilizer is its ability to accept the different electrical plugs in Europe and Asia, so the device to be protected can be plugged into the stabilizer. Another is the ability to plug the stabilizer into the local plug and power system. These two specifications are essential for the purpose of a stabilizer.
