Voltage stabiliser or regulator installations.

itstony · Oct 23, 2012

Any help please on domestic voltage stabilisers or suggested leads please.
Looking to install a system to stabilise an unstable supply 220v that is causing problems with an appliance.
I have little knowledge in this area only what I have read on here before.
This is for 220V in Spain not 230V.

Often tought of that in the past, but never gave it much more thought as I assumed it would be difficult to find one at a sensible size come price.
I shall do some googling.

Hello Community,

Start by taking a look at the back of the device you want to use. If it says something like "100-240V, 50/60 Hz", it will work anywhere in the world with the right plugs. If you've got both covered, you can skip to the next section. If not, keep reading. Take some advice from an electrician about this.

Thanks and Regards,
Steven Brooks

Thanks for asking. I did a complete rewire and quality switch gear. The supply has always been unstable.
New kitchen appliances were bought, all Neff and latest products.
The microwave will not restart most times. It has been to the Neff workshops and many times and deemed ok.
to cut a long story short, I am wondering if the electronic board has a supply voltage tolerance as most do now and the 220v is dropping below the parameters.
The supply shows 205-210v, so should it sag with a brown spot, this could be it.

I would like to find a solution for a stable supply. As this area is not something I have been involved with, I am asking and searching. There seems to be a lot of systems aimed at computers and networks, but nothing for domestic dwellings or appliances.
the supply does cause problems and prepared to seriously try and address it.
