We are in a booming intelligent era, and electricity is one of our indispensable resources. However, there are still many countries and regions where power is fluctuating and unstable. Sometimes sudden bad weather such as lightning strikes can also cause big problems for our electricity consumption.
So how do we protect our equipment and solve power consumption problems when power fluctuates?
Voltage Regulator or UPS Device: Use a Voltage Regulator or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). These devices can adjust the voltage and provide stable power. Voltage regulators help stabilize voltage, while UPSs provide backup power during power outages, protecting equipment from voltage fluctuations and sudden power outages.
Voltage protector: When the voltage is suddenly high or low, in order to protect our electrical appliances from harm, we can use a voltage protector. The voltage protector can automatically cut off the power supply when the voltage fluctuates. When the voltage returns to normal, the electrical appliance will return to normal output state.
Surge protector: When severe weather such as lightning occurs, in order to prevent our electrical appliances from being damaged by sudden surges, surge protectors can guide it to the ground or absorb its energy to prevent them enter the protected equipment, thus protecting it from surge fluctuations.
Load management: During voltage fluctuations, we can limit the number of high-power electrical equipment operating simultaneously to reduce the burden on the grid. Avoid starting large motors or equipment as they may cause a voltage drop when starting.
Electrical maintenance: Make sure your electrical equipment is maintained and inspected regularly to reduce the impact of voltage fluctuations. Maintenance includes cleaning, tightening wire connections, replacing aging parts, etc.
Electrical Survey: If voltage fluctuations are a long-standing problem that severely affects your electricity usage, you need to consider an electrical survey to identify the root cause of the problem and implement long-term solutions.
