Automatic Voltage Regulator
An automatic voltage regulator is a device that will regulate voltage automatically. It takes the varying voltage level of any source and turns it into a constant voltage level. The automatic voltage regulator can vary in size. Some automatic voltage regulators are small enough in size that they can mount on a printed circuit board, while others can be as big as a small house. As you can see there is a huge diversity in the size as well as the type of automatic voltage regulator. The automatic voltage regulator is used in various applications such as to regulate the excitation voltage in a generator, temperature control in a furnace as well as automatic operation of an load tap changer of a power transformer. Using an automatic voltage regulator can save you money when they are associated with equipment damage that can be caused by unregulated voltage levels. Some of the benefits of an automatic voltage regulator are, you receive better system voltage regulation on your equipment, the over voltage on a loss of load is reduced along with improved stability of your voltage levels. Single phase or three phase AC applications use the automatic voltage regulator. It is very common to see utilities use the single phase automatic voltage regulator combined together to provide the voltage regulation for three phase. The three phase automatic voltage regulator can regulate each phase separately of it can regulate all of the three phases together. When you are using three phase power, one phase might have a high voltage level and another phase may have a lower voltage level. If you try using a three phase automatic voltage regulator in a situation like this, it will not work. All you would be doing here is regulating the voltage level of the three phases together, up and down the exact same amount. This would not do your equipment any justification as it will not produce satisfactory results. Matching the different phase voltages to each other with independent phase regulation is the way to go when using an automatic voltage regulator. When there is a large difference in voltage levels from each phase to phase, a premature failure of electrical devices may occur such as overheating or vibrations. The best way to learn what an automatic voltage regulator can do for your equipment is to contact a TEMCo automatic voltage regulator specialist.
