What Is Stabilizer?
A stabilizer is a device that is used to keep electric appliances steady. It protects the appliances by providing a constant power supply even if there are some fluctuations in the supply.
Why Should You Buy A Stabilizer From PowerMax?
PowerMax Fitness's Vosta V3 Stabilizer is specifically designed for treadmills. It assures full protection against High Voltage, Under Voltage, Overload, Overheat, and Short Circuit. It is highly efficient and can be used for other home appliances also. Plus, It offers a 3-year domestic warranty too.
Comparison of three Kinds of AVR
| ITEM |
TRIAC TYPE AVR |
RELAY TYPE AVR |
SERVO MOTOR AVR |
|
Principal |
Tap changer |
Tap changer |
Tap changer |
|
Switching Part |
Triac (solid-state relay) |
Electromagnetic Relay (mechanical part) |
Motorized Carbon Brush (mechanical part) |
|
Life of Switching Part |
Highest The technology of Triac is more mature, the triac is more reliable. Plus the “Zero cross transfer technology”, the life of triac is 2 or 3 times than the electromagnetic relay or the motorized carbon brush |
Normal The surface of the electromagnetic relay is limited, can’t pass big current. Can’t be used in AVR of big capacity |
Normal The motor is possible to be stuck, and carbon brush is worn part
|
|
Regulating Speed |
Fastest <50ms |
Fast <200ms |
Slow 1-2s |
|
Sparkle |
No No contact surface, there is no sparkle during the regulating process |
Small There is still small sparkle when contacts of relay switch |
Big There is big sparkle when the carbon brush moves
|
|
Noise (Fan noise excluded) |
No Triac is a static relay, there is no noise during tap changing |
Small There is still small noise when contacts of relay switch |
Big There is a big noise when the carbon brush moves |
|
User Replacement Part |
No
|
No |
Yes User need to change the carbon brush after some time (e.g. 1-2 years) |
|
Input Voltage Range |
Wide 100-270V, 80-270V |
Wide 100-270V, 80-270V |
Narrow Only 140-260V |
|
Output Voltage Accuracy |
High Up to 4% |
Low 10% |
Highest Normally 3%，up to 1% |
|
Cost |
High Triac is expensive than an electromagnetic relay, and it requires extra protection circuit and heat sink, also it requires a heat sink, so the cost is higher than that of relay type AVR |
Low |
Low The transformer can only be made of copper, there is an extra cost for motor |
|
Afte-sale Cost |
Normal
|
Low |
High Carbon brush needs to be replaced, the motor is not so reliable |
