WHO NEEDS A VOLTAGE STABILIZER ?

In spite of best efforts, no state electricity board can ensure constant voltage to the customer because of long and inadequate distribution lines and irregular load pattern on distribution transformers. Generally voltage is low during day time and high during night hours. Moreover on holidays, peak hours, Rainy days and when agricultural and Industrial load is switched off; the Voltage rises sharply, which is more dangerous.

The industrial units having acute/high failure rate of Electrical Equipment such as Bulbs, Tubes, Chokes, Starter, Contactor Coils & Motors etc. Should verify that it may be due to Higher Voltage. You may note down hourly readings of voltage Variation for few days. If you find that input voltage is above 230 volts single phase/400 volts three phase even for few hours a day, then you definitely require a stabilizer.

Voltage fluctuation is a common phenomenon is every part of the country. The industrial units running round the clock, usually face the problem of low and high voltage. 90% of industrial load is of motors. Electric motors draw considerably high current at low & high voltage.

This higher current affects the electrical motors in three ways.
