Problems in work (8 years plowed honestly), I plan a thyristor and 9000kva

23 April 2021

I bought it for the country house, this is my first purchase of this type of equipment. After the house started "accumulating" kitchen and household appliances, it became necessary.

Not high cost and ease of installation, electronic display and the ability to select a turn-on delay (important for a refrigerator)

It's been almost 8 years of use... It stands in the hallway under the meter... the relays click quite loudly... considering the "somewhat wild" electricity at the summer house... fans of transformer welding - IT'S ANNOYING. This spring, it didn't want to turn on (I turn it off for the winter... lighting and security equipment are from another wire, BUT also from the meter!). I had to "train" it with the switch... it beeped... wrote scribbles on the screen... but it started up. Another problem emerged - at an input voltage of 200-210, the relays switch frantically... the fridge and microwave even jump... (my heart does too). They might die. I can't do without a stabilizer - in the morning it's up to 260 at the input... everything will fly off, and this one is probably running out of resources. I'll buy a new one.

Roman: use Forte ACDR-5kVA more than year

good model, I liked it

Two months ago I installed one in my parents' house. Previously, they had no problems with voltage, but times are changing, consumption is growing at times. Electric kettles, washing machines, microwave ovens and even full-fledged electric heating lead to the fact that the voltage drops to very indecent values of 155-160 volts. At the same time, a significant part of household appliances either does not work at all, or desperately fails. I was especially worried about the gas boiler and a good roomy refrigerator, bought only last year. Yes, the problem of outdated power grids in the private sector is already visible to the naked eye, but the power engineers don’t care deeply, they are not going to invest in the modernization of their own infrastructure. The issue was resolved by purchasing this powerful stabilizer.

The real long-term power of this stabilizer is about 7.5 kW and this is good power, which is enough for a medium-sized house. True, it will be enough only on the condition that electricity will not be heavily used for heating. But the parents have gas heating, and the house is insulated. Holds tension well. Regardless of what the input indicator shows, I consistently observe 220-225 volts at the output. The entire standard household set (kettle, iron, microwave, washing machine, refrigerator, TV and air conditioning) pulls without question. It has all the necessary protections and a delay start, which can reach 180 seconds. It makes sense for refrigerators that it is undesirable to restart before the freon has completely drained to the compressor. Copes with starting currents and can work stably with short-term overload.

Oh, this new trend of specifying power in volt-amperes. Most regular users think that one watt equals one volt-ampere. In reality, the 10000 volt-amperes power of this stabilizer needs to be multiplied by a coefficient of 0.8 to convert to watts. However, the manufacturer doesn't want to show the actual power, preferring to flaunt the impressive-looking "inflated" figure of 10000.

It is worth taking into account the above data.

Normal stabilizer, when voltage goes beyond normal limits, protection triggers. Displays both voltages (before and after stabilization), however after stabilization it inaccurately shows within 10 volts, before stabilization it shows "honestly". Regarding parts, it's interesting what they couldn't find, everything is simple there. It is relay-type which means if the load is constantly changing (like an induction cooker or a microwave) or the input voltage often fluctuates then the relays will frequently switch and quickly wear out. (40 UAH + replacement). In 2 years I have replaced 2 relays.

Price.

Nothing for that price. Sensitivity to frequent voltage drops.
