The Performance of any electrical equipment is optimum at its rated voltage.Both over-voltage and under-voltage produce harmful effects. Under-Voltage generally reduces efficiency whereas Over-Voltage shortens life.Effects of voltage on typical equipment are classified below:
Equipment |
Effects of Under-Voltage |
Semi-Conductors |
Malfunction if operated at voltages below designed minimum voltage. |
Electron tubes |
10% drop in cathode voltage reduces cathode emission by 40%. |
Rectifier loads (Platers,battery chargers, welding equipment etc.) |
At 10% under-voltage plating rate drops by 20% charging rate drops by 25% and welding time increases by 20%. |
Magnetic devices solenoid clutches brakes, clamps, motor starters etc. |
At 10% under-voltage solenoids take 20% longer to actuate. |
Equipment |
Effects of Over-Voltage |
Semi-Conductors |
Failure if operated at voltages above designed maximum voltage. |
Electron tubes |
5% increase in cathode voltage reduces tube life by 50% |
Rectifier loads (Platers,battery chargers, welding equipment etc.) |
Excessive heat generated produces poor welds,can reduce rectifier life. |
Magnetic devices solenoid clutches brakes, clamps, motor starters etc. |
Causes excessive mechanical wear and distortion of surfaces. |
The BELTRONICS Servo Controlled A.C Voltage Stabilisers have been specially designed incorporating the latest in solid-state technology to
protect your equipment from harm caused by undesirable voltage fluctuations.

BELTRONICS SERVO regulators offer the following facilities
A special note on the Control Circuit
» Auto/Manual Operation
The regulator can be set and operated in the manual mode when desired even without the control circuit.
» Output Voltage Adjustability
The Output Voltage may be set by means of a panel control within a range of about 25 V.This however shifts the input voltage range correspondingly.
» Sensitivity Adjustment
A control is provided on the front panel to adjust the sensitivity.It must however be remembered that very high sensitivity settings will
affect the mechanical life.
The BELTRONICS Servo Controlled A.C Voltage Stabiliser incorporates a specially designed sensing and control circuit employing TRIACS
integrated circuits.These offer a distinct advantage over discrete components by virtue of their inherent characteristics which include
amongst other excellent gain frequency, high common mode rejection ratio, wide operating temperature range, good output to input isolation
and precise regulation of D.C voltages.
THIS HAS ENABLED US TO OFFER YOU A VERY HIGH OUTPUT VOLTAGE ACCURACY(0.5%) AND EXCELLENT TEMPERATURE STABILITY.The entire sensing and control
circuit is provided on a single printed circuit plug-in card to facilitate ease of maintenance and repair.This ensures that your unit can be
recommissioned in the quickest time, should any repair be necessary.
