Manufacturers of automatic voltage regulators explain the reasons for voltage instability
→ Unbalanced load in the power grid
Unbalanced power grid load is one of the main reasons for voltage instability. When the power supply is overloaded or the load suddenly increases, the voltage becomes unstable. This situation usually occurs during the peak electricity consumption period in summer, due to the increased use of household appliances such as air conditioners, power tools, and electric fans, resulting in unstable voltage.
→ Cable aging and insulation blockage
Cable aging and insulation blockage can make it difficult for current to flow, resulting in a voltage drop. Long term use of cables and equipment with insulation aging and blockage can cause obstruction of electrical energy transmission, affect voltage, and easily lead to electrical failures.
→ Overload or failure of power transformer
Overloading or failure of power transformers is also a common cause of voltage instability. Overloaded or malfunctioning power transformers can cause voltage drops and also damage electrical appliances.
How to protect household appliances
→ Install an automatic voltage regulator
To protect the electrical appliances in the home, it is possible to consider installing an automatic voltage regulator. AVR can effectively stabilize voltage and maintain it within a normal range, thereby protecting home appliances from harm.
→ Purchase protectors
A protector is a power protection device that can automatically control voltage fluctuations. Its main function is to monitor voltage fluctuations and automatically cut off power protection in case of voltage abnormalities. Purchasing a protector can effectively protect household appliances and prevent damage.
→ Check the electrical cables
Long term use of cables can lead to aging and even breakage, which can sometimes be difficult to detect. Checking the status of electrical cables and replacing them promptly when problems are found can effectively ensure the normal operation of electrical appliances.
→ Adjust electricity usage habits
During the peak electricity consumption period in summer, it is advisable to avoid using multiple high-power appliances simultaneously. Try to minimize the scope of electricity consumption, reduce the load on the power system, and avoid unnecessary pressure on the power system.
In short, voltage instability is a very common phenomenon that must be taken seriously. By inspecting electrical appliances and cables, using automatic voltage regulators, purchasing AVRs, and other methods, it is possible to effectively protect household appliances from damage.
