How to Build a Voltage Stabilizer: Step-by-Step Guide
A voltage stabilizer is a device used to detect fluctuating voltage levels and rectify them, ensuring a relatively stable output at the point where the load is connected. In this article, we will explore the design of a simple automatic mains AC voltage stabilizer that can serve this purpose. While there are many voltage stabilizers available on the market, building one yourself at home can be a rewarding experience. The Automatic Voltage Stabilizer (AVS) circuit described here is straightforward, reasonably accurate, and provides solid protection for any connected electronic device. It safeguards against dangerous high voltages and potential brownouts (low voltages). With an input range of 175 VAC to 280 VAC, the output will remain between 200 VAC and 255 VAC. How Does a Voltage Stabilizer Work? The circuit of a voltage stabilizer primarily consists of a voltage sensor. This sensor monitors AC mains voltage levels, detecting when they rise or fall to unsafe levels. When a dangerous inp…
