STEP-UP AC VOLTAGE STABILIZERS & REGULATORS
1.0
General
This specification covers the electrical aspects for an AC Voltage Stabilizer / Converter that
shall provide automatically stabilized and regulated power to sensitive electrical and
electronic equipment.
The Stabilizer should be based on the Servo Electronic design principle comprising a
transformer having its secondary winding connected between the mains supply and the
load. The primary voltage should be automatically controlled through a servo motor driven
variable transformer, thereby ensuring a continuous, smooth (step-less) and very stable
output voltage.
A solid state Servo-Amplifier should continuously monitor the output voltage of the
Stabilizer. Should, due to an incoming voltage or load current change, the output voltage
deviate from the required value, the Amplifier sensor should instruct the servo motor to
rotate the brush-gear on the variable transformer to correct the output for the deviation. The
speed of detection and actions of the servo system should be exceptionally fast, with
controlled motor deceleration to minimize any possibility of overshoot.
The AC Voltage Stabilizer is to be an Ashley-Edison (UK) SES-LHD-3P Series model, or
approved equal of similar high quality and offering similar comprehensive features and
warranty options.
