Summer is the time when the demand for electricity in each household increases sharply, the use of cooling equipment such as air conditioners, fans with a high frequency every day puts power transmission lines under very big pressure. This can cause a condition of the shut of the circuit-breaker, a drop in pressure, and more danger of fire. To prevent this from happening, voltage regulators are used as a device to help stabilize the voltage in the home. Let's find out what you need to know about voltage regulators!
Voltage regulators help maintain stable current for electrical equipment
What is the voltage regulator?
A voltage regulator is an electrical device used to stabilize the voltage, in order to provide enough power for normal output devices. It helps protect equipment against overvoltage, under-voltage, and other voltage drop problems.
This device is preferred for high-performance electrical equipment to protect them from harmful voltage fluctuations. These include air conditioners, offset printers, laboratory equipment, industrial machines, and medical devices.
Voltage regulators are often used in households
Why must we use voltage regulators?
Voltage fluctuations occur quite frequently in many areas. Common causes of voltage fluctuations are due to lighting, electrical problems, and faulty wiring. These fluctuations can harm electrical equipment.
The harmful effects of lowering and increasing pressure in the long term:
- Permanent failure of electrical equipment
- Reduce equipment endurance
- Cause damage to electrical cables and lines
- Reduce the speed of the engine
- Prolonged operation time (air conditioner, refrigerator, take much time to cool)
Therefore, the voltage regulator ensures that the voltage fluctuations in the power supply do not affect the load or electrical equipment.
The criteria when choosing a voltage regulator
It should be chosen to buy products that suit the needs of the family
In order to choose a voltage regulator that suits the needs of the family, customers need to consider a lot of factors. If the voltage regulator is over-using, it will not damage your electrical equipment, but it will incur an additional cost for your electricity. Consider the following when choosing a voltage regulator:
- The required capacity of the device
- Voltage regulator type
- Capacity requirements for the equipment you need
- The operating range of the regulator
- Use the pressure booster or pressure lower.
Note when using a voltage regulator
For households to use voltage regulators in a long-term to avoid fire and explosion, households should pay attention to:
- Select the right conductor to suit the machine capacity to avoid hot wires, voltage drops that are usually about 1mm2 with 1KVA the conductor cross-section.
- Avoid placing the machine in a place with water, choose a cool enough place to ensure the radiation of the heat.
- Connect the ground wire to the machine to ensure safety, avoid moving the machine while it is in power.
- Secure the plugs to the jacks, avoiding the movement causing heat, which may cause a fire.
In summary, with this information, Tran Phu hopes that readers will have useful knowledge when choosing to buy and use voltage regulators for their families.
