The voltage in the networks that supply current to houses and dachas is usually unstable. For the proper functioning of electrical appliances that provide such familiar comfort to us, these voltage surges must be minimized. To achieve this goal, a special device is used - voltage stabilizer for a home-made home ..
Not all voltage regulators are created equal. Let's figure out what types they actually are.
Types of voltage stabilizers according to the principle of operation:
Ferroresonant. The action is due to the magnetic saturation of the ferromagnetic cores of the transformers. High-precision and fast-acting, but noisy and under heavy load, loads that lose efficiency significantly.
Electromechanical. The device - an electric motor with a gearbox automatically corrects the network parameters. They have high accuracy, but poor performance. Saves from significant power surges.
Electronic type. The transformer sections are switched automatically by the control board and switching switches such as electronic relays or thyristors. Step regulators are the most popular type. They regulate well significant fluctuations in the network, fast-acting, with high efficiency.
To regulate the network parameters in houses and cottages, voltage stabilizers for 220 volt alternating current networks are used:
The phase control of the regulator is selected from the type of wiring in the house. Accordingly, single-phase correctors are installed in cottages even with a three-phase network, well, with a single-phase one.
The variety of types of voltage stabilizers and related equipment for protecting your home and ensuring safety and continuity of work is very large:
Devices used to provide power to a residential building in the event of a power outage are called generators. They generate energy and release it in the form of electricity through the network to homes, while kinetic energy is obtained from electrical energy and then converted back to electricity.
Inverter-type devices convert electricity two times from DC to AC, and then the reverse process starts, where the voltage is already stable; or the inverter acts in reverse order to get DC voltage from AC.
UPS are devices where energy is accumulated first in batteries, and then given to consumers as needed, but not for long. The battery capacity is sufficient, as a rule, for several minutes so that the user has time to correctly turn off his equipment when the voltage in the network suddenly ceases to exist.
