Please search "stabilizer" on the forum Panditji
This is darkly funny. The stabilizer was destabilised and might need it's own stabilizer.
Keith, it died a brave death doing it's work diligently, protecting the house valiantly.. It gave it's life protecting the life of other appliances... I expected you to be a little sensitive and not make jokes.This is darkly funny. The stabilizer was destabilised and might need it's own stabilizer.
So sorry for your loss! May its transformer RIP!
Install a 3phase surge protector in your mains. It’s very effective. Attached is for reference of a single phase surge protector. The green display will change to red when it needs replacement. You can google SPD and its types to get more information
I had come across the amicikart voltage cutout protector a couple of years ago but I ignored it and passed it off as a mass produced gimmick. In the meantime my led tv hdmi ports got fried on two occasions thanks to Adani's overvoltage surges and hence the motherboard had to be replaced twice which was irksome to say the least! Heaven then sent advice the second time in the form of @mbhangui which I didn't ignore. Instead of the entire home, I've got three of these cutout protectors protecting three specific fragile zones i.e. the refrigerator, ledtv/hifi line and pc.
Nikhil, I see Aulten everytime on the google search results but have not heard anyone mentioning them as a brand.. Was hoping to hear real user feedback and experience.. All the digital voltage stabilisers available online will not protect the devices on surges as they simply have a motherboard which will get friend and allow the surge to pass through the other devices...
Can we install ourself or need electrician?
I had an electrician install the devices. Post installation, I tweaked the settings to my preference.
I only want to have over voltage protection for may AV set up which is a 55" TV, amplifier , DAC and media player. Previously I was using Belkin surge protector . I am confused between this https://dl.flipkart.com/s/1Up8pfNNNN and Surge protector.
That flipkart thing only switches off when there is unacceptable voltage. Its not a stabilizer. A stabilizer changes the voltage safely for output.
Yes I know that. My question is among these two which one is more efficient? because Belkin surge protector is much simple to use than other one which needs electrician to install.
A Belkin surge protector will not regulate and output consistent 230v voltage. It is not a stabilizer.
fwik these surge protector strips become fragile with repeated surges and are notorious for breaking down thereby posing a risk to the connected equipment. I wouldn't use them anywhere near hifi gear. Voltage stabilisers operate within a fixed input voltage range and output a constant voltage to the connected gear. I chose the cut-out protector over a voltage stabiliser due to its small form factor and most importantly the options available for a user to tweak over/under voltage range and response time among other settings. After two fried tv motherboards, this nifty device has protected my tv despite insane supply voltage swings.
