Without voltage stabilizers, the operation of electrical systems will not function properly.

	What are voltage stabilizers?

A quality voltage stabilizer is an electrical device that ensures the connected equipment receives a constant voltage, regardless of fluctuations in the grid. This is especially important in areas where the power supply is unstable or where sensitive, high-value electronics are in use.

Ideally, mains voltage is 230 V in single-phase systems or 400 V in three-phase systems, but in practice, it can deviate by 10–15%. Such deviations may cause flickering lights, motors failing to start, or even data loss in computers. Voltage stabilizers are designed to compensate for these variations.

	Where are they used?

These devices are used in a wide range of applications, from households to industry. One of the most common uses is protecting home electronics: stabilizers extend the lifespan of computers, refrigerators, televisions, and air conditioners by protecting them from voltage fluctuations.

In industrial automation, stable power is essential for control units and sensors on production lines. In healthcare, hospital machines and diagnostic equipment must not malfunction due to power fluctuations. In telecommunications, even a brief power outage or dip can cause serious problems. This is why it’s important to choose a high-quality stabilizer such as the Volt Polska AVR PRO, which is available in various configurations.

Voltage stabilizers can also be classified based on their operating principles. Each type has different advantages and is ideal for different applications.

	Which type should you choose?

We’ve already mentioned AVR systems—these are so-called continuously regulated automatic voltage stabilizers. They combine electromechanical and electronic technologies. They can regulate the input voltage smoothly, keeping the output close to ideal at all times.

These are typically used in high-power applications, such as manufacturing plants or large data centers. Electromechanical stabilizers operate through a transformer whose switching points are controlled by relays. If the voltage deviates from the ideal, the device mechanically adjusts the transformer output.

Electronic voltage regulators use semiconductors to adjust the voltage, so they contain no moving parts. Their advantage is rapid response and long service life. They are often used in computer systems or medical instruments.

	Key factors when buying

When selecting a voltage stabilizer, it’s important to consider power requirements, input voltage range, response time, number of phases, and safety features. You’ll easily find the right unit in our online store.
