Voltage Stabiliser

[dansk]

Don't know enough on this subject but be careful with the PV, think most voltage stabilisers can't handle pv, check in solar forum for more clarification.

Just using a transformer will be fine.
the voltage will fluctuate +10% -6% here as it does abroad so no problem..
legally through harmonisation rules you shouldn't need to do anything

 

[Knobhead]

A transformer will not provide voltage stability. The O/P will vary with the I/P which isn’t what this question is about.

thats why i sugested a ups.

because the grid supply will technically just become the charging circuit and everything runs off the ups battery this problem is negated.

The OP also mentioned the supply is for equipment used on European system, therefore, doesn't need a voltage stabiliser

Why not?

Sorry guys zoned out for a few days..
From memory the manuals for the machines specify 220-230V.

Why not?

Because, their voltage like ours, fluctuates at the same tolerances

european harmonisation

No it doesn't, harmonisation is a big myth, nobody has changed anything!

Not strictly true.. Voltage levels vary but the tolerances are the same.
therefore, voltage stabiliser not required, just a transformer

Irrelevant anyway as the kit is rated 230

Not irrelevant, the kit is rated 220 - 230V apparently and out voltage is 240 -250V in reality. But it does occasionally dip lower so a transformer would drop the voltage too low sometimes. If the machine needs a more stable supply than it has at the moment then a transformer won't cure the issue

im sorry but that is incorrect

 

[davesparks]

im sorry but that is incorrect

Which bit is incorrect?
The machine is rated at 220 - 230V

Our mains supply is normally between 240 - 250V bit dips towards 230 occasionally.

A transformer will adjust the voltage proportionally so will not maintain it's output voltage when the input dips.

A bit childish but it gives you the basics
