EM Voltage Stabilizer

Watford Control

All main powered devices require a supply which is maintained within certain limits. Thus a low supply voltage can cause malfunction, whilst a high supply voltage will cause serious damage. Micro-processor based and other sensitive equipment requires not only a stable voltage but a clean supply free of transient spikes and other electrical noise.

EM & EMS VOLTAGE STABILISERS

The EM and EMS range of AC Voltage Stabilisers and Power Conditioners from Watford Control offers the most cost effective and efficient way to ensure a stable, undistorted mains supply for the vast majority of applications. Based on the proven electronic servo design, a double wound transformer has its secondary winding connected between the incoming AC supply and the load, with the primary winding voltage controlled by a motor-driven variable auto transformer. A solid-state servo amplifier continuously monitors the output voltage of the stabiliser, and any error voltage is amplified to operate the servomotor of the variable transformer, driving its brush-gear to a point where it is injecting a voltage that will correct the supply voltage by adding or subtracting from it. Over six thousand models span ratings from 1kVA to 8,000kVA, single or three-phase, incorporating full transient spike and noise suppression if required. Available with a wide selection of input voltage ranges from ±8% to ±40%.

IP AND EMO VOLTAGE STABILSERS

Designed for outdoor use.For outdoor use or any installation in humid or contaminated environments, a range of IP rated air-cooled stabilisers are available for mounting inside GRP enclosures with either naturally ventilated or forced air-cooling. The GRP enclosures can be designed to specific requirements to conform to the required IP rating. For smaller models up to 100kVA the oil immersion of stabilisers results in a more efficient cooling and a reduction in size compared to air-cooled stabilisers. They are available in both single and three phase models. The EMO range, are normally supplied suitable for ground mounting but some of the smaller versions are available for pole mounting.

  • High speed of response
  • Low internal impedance capable of sustaining high surge currents.
  • Efficiency better than 98% with up to 99.5% on higher models.
  • EM/EMS Turbo (T) stabilisers incorporate the advanced Rotavolt technology and additional forced air cooling resulting in a considerable cost and weight reduction per kVA.
  • Soft-start ensures low output voltage at the moment of switching on.
  • Soft-stop dampens the force of impact when the variable transformer brush gear reaches the end stop.
  • Full transverse and common mode spike / interference suppression when required.
  • IP classified and oil immersed (EMO) versions for outdoor use or for use in hostile environments.
  • Wide range of optional extras including input / output circuit breaker, by-pass switches, distribution boards and any other features to customer's requirements can be built into the cabinet.
