Summers=No Electricity and Electricity=Low voltage..HELP!

[sam9s]

Hi All

Summers is blistering across Delhi NCR and so as usual, Ghz has it 8,10 hours of cut. Anyway backup is there with me with a 1.5KV LPG Genset and a 1.5KV Microtech Inverter. But the problem is though I have the backup I have nothing to regulate the voltage as it seems my inverter does not do this, and if there is electricity, the voltage is too low ~150/180......... even if its 250...... it fluctuates like hell.......... and in this situation, though my LCD holds, Computer holds as well, but my bloody Onkyo AVR trips, resulting in blackout/restart of the LCD and crashing of the game I am playing or an abrupt break if I am watching a movie.....VERY VERY IRRITATING......
Million Dollor Question, what is the best possible solution to get constant 250volts, what ever happenes at the back...........is servo the ans or an Online UPS or what........need some immidiate suggestion here so that I can watch my BR and play my game without any tension.......

Regards
Sammy

also having the same situation in jalandhar city ,so i'm too looking for a right answer my v-gaurd stab are not great for ht they don't play things nicely like whenever an air conditioner starts in another room all my euipments avr,sub and projector off suddenely and then on ,so i'm looking for servo sttabs too atleast 3kva which brand should i go for :sad:

This is why I havnt moved out of my parents apartment =\ ncr electricity is like a rabid dogs grave infested with a cespool of corrupt politicians.

Did you take a look at the voltage stabilizer+conditioner thread ?

yup u r right

bro which stab to use vertex,krykard or what

Even a Servo stabilizer has limits. While my servo will hold steady till about 200V, there is no chance of it holding on firmly when the voltage dips to 150. Similarly I wont expect it to hold on if the voltage goes above 250.

So, I dont know that there is a readymade solution to your problem.

Suggest don't run TVs, AVRs, computers on low voltage ever ..... period.

Even if you set up a voltage stabilizer, they too have an operating range, say, 140 to 280 V. During low voltage periods, it many a times drop down to 120. Even S-O-T-A stabilizers give off the thak..thak..thak noise in such conditions.

This fluctuation really screws up the 'power board' of the units, and it is a pain and real expensive to rectify those. SO, keep off visuals, games and music during these periods .............

u r right my v-gaurd give off tuk tuk noise so it means my units damage too with these kinds of tak tak

High voltage is not a problem, as it never crosses 250, but drops down to somewhere between 150/180 which is very often during the evenings......but I am surprised there aint a solution, I am sure there must be high end CVTs that can regulate from even 100 volts......

Yea you are right, but the problem here is there is no such thing as "those periouds" here as the entire evening the fluctuation is regular and almost every day.........and that is the time when all are free to indulge in their A/V activities.......

Did you take a look at the voltage stabilizer+conditioner thread ?

Can you direct me to that thread.....I can see the stablizier/CVT price thread.....

 

[soundofmusic]

Use a Vertex / Krykard / Audire 2 KVA Servo with Isolation Transformers , this may solve your problem and will also save your valuable equipments.

i live in ncr.i am using 2 kva apc online ups. no problem with that at all. check that out.

Living in UP I am constantly facing these issues. Earlier, I was using a 2kVA servo for my HT. Voltage range was 140-280V. Now, I have a bought a servo for the whole house. I have removed each and every stabilizer in the house. It feels good to plug all the equipment right in the wall socket.

I would advice you to go for a 2kVA servo. This is sufficient for most HT loads. I was running my entire gear on this servo. If you have power hungry equipments then you can go for 3kVA. Be wary of the voltage range. For your location a minimum of 140-280V is required.

For the projector, you should use an offline UPS. APC is good manufacture for this application. The UPS should also be powered by servo.

Did you notice change in SQ with and without servo?

Finally, we know where the tuk tuk noise is coming from. Some poor folks in HSU have been losing sleep over the tuk tuk noise thinking it is from your your subwoofer:lol:.

Nope, I did not.

Good One Santhosh!!

For the record, I have to give to Gobble. I feel he has great sense of humour. keep it up Gobble.

good one bro but i'm not that much fool yaar it is from sub and that is from stabilizer if u don't agree come over to my house and i put ur ears close to the sub and play bass heavy scene then we'll see who is poor folk here

phew, sometimes i'm glad i left the NCR !!
