Why use a voltage regulator?

With the rapid development of society, the number of electrical equipment is increasing, and the types are becoming more and more complex, which places higher demands on the power grid. However, due to the lagging development and design of power transmission and distribution facilities, as well as insufficient power supply, the final user voltage in the rear section of the line is too low, while the user voltage in the front section of the line is often too high. This has a great impact and damage on electrical equipment, especially high-tech and precision equipment with strict voltage requirements, seriously affecting the normal operation of production and experimental activities. As a public power grid, the power supply system is connected to thousands of various loads, including some large inductive, capacitive, switching power supplies, etc. These loads not only obtain electrical energy from the grid, but also have an impact on the grid itself, causing distortion or frequency drift of the mains voltage waveform, further deteriorating the grid, and reducing the quality of power supply. In addition, natural and man-made accidents, such as excessive load voltage, power transmission and transformation system circuit breakers or short circuits, earthquakes, lightning strikes, can all endanger the normal supply of electricity, thereby affecting the normal operation of the load.
Unstable voltage can cause equipment malfunctions or fatal injuries, thereby affecting production and resulting in adverse consequences such as delayed delivery and unstable quality. At the same time, it will accelerate the aging of equipment, affect its service life, and even damage it, causing business owners to face maintenance or equipment updates, increasing costs, and wasting resources; More serious safety accidents occur at more severe times, resulting in more severe consequences.
Therefore, the use of voltage regulators is essential for electrical equipment, especially for high-tech and precision equipment that require strict voltage.
