what is the difference between?

what is the difference between constant voltage transformer and voltage stabilizers?

what should i use that will fit in my pc table

the voltage fr-actuates very frequently in our area causing my computer to take a restart every time voltage fluctuates

what should i do?

being a student my pocket money is 3 to 4 thousand per month so i have to accommodate within that

    a simple definition of constant voltage transformer is that it steps up or steps down the voltage supplied by your electric company to supply the needed voltage of the utilization appliance if in case they do not match. Say, we use 230 volts supplied by the electric company and you bought an appliance rated at 110 volts. You are going to need a constant voltage transformer for you to use the appliance you bought with 110 volts rating.

    Voltage stabilizers, or automatic voltage regulators (AVR) is a device that ensures that the voltage received by the appliance is not going to be higher or lower than its rated voltage (although there is always a +5% or -5% voltage cap). In case that there is voltage fluctuation, it compensates or diminishes the voltage so that the appliance will not be affected, thus having your appliance secured and giving it a longer utilization span.

  • constant voltage transformer is a device that gives TOTAL protection against any type of voltage fluctuation for any electronic equipment. Though it modifies the sinusoidal waveform somewhat (less than 5% distortion) which harmless in most of the cases. But as you are a student and dependent on a narrow budget the problem here is COST.

    CVT is at least 7 times costly than (auto-cut voltage stabilizers), 4-5 times as costly as (automatic voltage stabilizers), and twice as costly than (servo stabilizers). You should go for an automatic voltage stabilizer with minimum 100 millisecond response time. it will be in your budget and will be adequate for you.

    Source(s): personal knowledge of electrical device and its market. I, myself, was in the same situation few years ago.

    You should get a UPS, which is an uninterrupted power supply. It is essentially a large battery that you plug your computer into instead of say a conventional power strip. This will keep the voltage coming out of the UPS constant, and the voltage will not change.

    A ton of babies at present are trying troublesome to look "emo" with the aid of fact they think of it seems cool. If somebody is attempting to look emo or although, they only come throughout the time of as immature teenagers searching for interest.
