What Are The Benefits Of An Automatic Voltage Stabilizer Plus A Surge Protector?
Automatic Voltage Stabilizer What are the benefits of adding a surge protector? The surge protector can protect the automatic voltage regulator from being damaged by external forces. We know that lightning strikes are extremely lethal, and their destructive effects are comprehensive, including thermoelectric effect and electric force. Damage to effects, mechanical effects, shock wave effects, atomic discharge effects and magnetic field effects.
Today we will explain the benefits of automatic voltage regulator and surge protector.
During the process of charging and discharging, lightning strikes produce strong lightning currents, which usually reach tens of thousands of amps, and sometimes reach hundreds of thousands of amps, which can cause thousands, tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars. High voltages of millions of volts are enough to kill people and animals and damage electrical equipment.
The temperature of lightning strike tunnels can reach 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is higher than the surface temperature of the sun. It can cause metals to melt and flammable objects to catch fire at high temperatures.
The electric field changes, electromagnetic field changes and electromagnetic radiation caused by lightning seriously affect the normal operation of wireless communications and various equipment. They are the main source of wireless noise and cause many microelectronic machines to a certain extent. Equipment damage and fire accidents have become the most important cause of lightning disasters since the 1980s.
In addition, the shock waves caused by lightning strikes can cause damage, death and injury to nearby people, livestock, and buildings.
What is a surge protector?
Surge protector, also called lightning protector, is an electronic system that provides safety protection for various electronic products, instrument equipment, and communication lines.
When the peak current or working voltage suddenly occurs due to external influences in the electrical equipment control loop or communication network, the surge protector can conduct and disconnect in a very short time, thereby preventing the surge protector from causing damage to the control loop. The harm of other equipment.
The surge protector is suitable for power supply and distribution systems with AC 50/60HZ and rated current of 380V to 220V to protect against indirect lightning strikes and direct lightning strikes or other instantaneous overvoltage surges. It is suitable for homes and third parties. Regulations for surge protection in industry and its industrial sectors.
Since lightning strikes can cause such serious damage, do all regulated power supply users need to increase lightning surge protection? Not all adjustable regulated power supplies are equipped with surge protection, depending on the location and application. Depends on the natural environment.
Under normal circumstances, there is no need to add lightning protection, but multi-story buildings, outdoor regulated power supplies, and specialized regulated power supplies for communication equipment must be protected against surges.
