What Is The Difference Between An Automatic Voltage Stabilizer And A Contactless Voltage Stabilizer?

With the intelligentization of social science and technology, various high-tech products emerge in an endless stream. The power industry, which is closely related to us, has a variety of high-power equipment, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and water heaters in the home field, precision instruments in the medical and scientific research fields, laser machines, cutting machines in the industrial field, etc. However, when using these high-power equipment, they also face some problems. The large fluctuations in the power grid sometimes affect the normal use of the equipment. In severe cases, it may even damage the machine and equipment, causing immeasurable losses. Of course, if you want to solve this problem, Automatic Voltage Regulator is the best choice.

Automatic voltage stabilizer is a device that provides a stable output voltage according to the needs of electrical equipment. It is divided into automatic voltage stabilizer and contactless voltage stabilizer. The main differences between the two are as follows:

1. Response time: The automatic voltage stabilizer is driven by a motor, so the response time is slow (response time>1s), and it cannot withstand harsh environments; while the contactless voltage stabilizer has a high-speed response time (response time is 4ms/Step), and can keep the voltage stable at any time for the harsh power environment with frequent voltage fluctuations and large fluctuations.

2. Energy consumption: The automatic voltage stabilizer consumes a lot of energy when it is not loaded, the energy consumption of the whole machine when it is not loaded is more than 5%, and the efficiency of the whole machine is low; while the contactless voltage stabilizer is green and energy-saving, the energy consumption of the whole machine when it is not loaded is less than 1%, and the efficiency of the whole machine is higher than 99%.

3. Maintenance: The maintenance of the automatic voltage stabilizer is complicated, and it needs to be repaired according to the degree of wear of the carbon brush. The design service life of the product is only 5-10 years; while the contactless voltage stabilizer is a maintenance-free voltage stabilizer because it has no wear components, and the product design life is more than 15 years.

4. Voltage stabilization accuracy and safety: The automatic voltage stabilizer may generate spark arcs during operation, causing surge phenomenon, and the voltage stabilization accuracy is low; in contrast, the contactless voltage stabilizer will not generate any spark arcs, and the voltage stabilization accuracy is less than 1%.
