Powercon’s Static Voltage Stabilizer is an IGBT based PWM type buck-boost voltage stabilizer which has tight regulation and fast correction speed which is impossible to obtain using conventional methods such as servo voltage stabilizers, SCR / triac type stabilizer, relay type stabilizer etc.
This is an SMPS type voltage stabilizer for mains voltage (AC input and AC output). This is a new switching topology where PWM is made directly in AC-to-AC switching, without any harmonic distortion. In this topology there is no need to convert the AC input to DC and again convert it back to regulated AC output. This simplifies the design, reduces the component count and improves the efficiency and reliability. The power stage is an IGBT chopper control. The chopping frequency is around 20KHz which ensures absolutely silent operation and pure sine wave output (no waveform distortion).
The control section is based on dsPIC controller which ensures quick correction of output which is not possible in conventional relay type stabilizer or servo controlled stabilizers. The circuit is having LCD for display which will show all parameters like: input voltage, output voltage, connected load, your company name (We will program your company name in the dsPIC at the time of technology transfer) etc.
Since the circuit is fully solid state (no mechanical or moving parts) there will not be any wear and tear like the brush tear in servo stabilizer or relay degrading in relay based stabilizer
This is specially useful in places where we need very fast correction speed, constant output voltage, overload current limiting and short circuit protection, soft start, high voltage cut-off and low voltage cut-off, automatic bypass, no wear and tear, long life and maintenance free which is impossible with other conventional relay type or servo control stabilizers.
WORKING
In this IGBT based PWM type static voltage stabilizer only the difference voltage is switched through IGBT and will be added or subtracted from the mains. This is done electronically without any step changing in voltage which occurs when the system regulates. This is achieved by a feedback control system using digital signal processor (DSP). The output voltage is sensed by the DSP and corrections are made by varying the duty cycle of the PWM.
This stabilizer boosts up the voltage if it is low and bucks the voltage if it is high.
This means, we can use discrete IGBTs and make the circuit very compact and very high efficient. The efficiency in worst case will also be above 97%. This stabilizer is ideal for mobile towers, CNC machines, medical equipment, textile industries, power plants and any industrial product that needs tight regulation and fast correction. We can also use this for Air Conditioners, refrigerators, motor, pump etc.
FEATURES
1. Direct AC-AC conversion without rectifying to DC improves the efficiency, reliability and reduces the components.
2. Rapid cycle by cycle correction of output. It can correct sudden fluctuation in the line voltage. For example using a welding machine in the same line will cause sudden fluctuation in the line voltage which cannot be corrected with conventional relay type and servo controlled voltage stabilizers, where Static Voltage Stabilizer can correct it.
3. Output regulation of +/- 1% which is impossible in conventional stabilizer.
4. No distortion in output waveform.
5. Overload cutoff and short circuit cut off
6. Over voltage and under voltage cutoff.
7. Automatic bypass incase of failure.
8. LCD display for displaying all parameters and our company name.
9. Compact size and light weight
10. 20KHz PWM control
11. IGBT power stage. Highly reliable.
12. Fully solid state. No moving part, hence more life and no maintenance.
13. Silent operation.
RELIABILITY
1. Over load and short circuit protection
2. High input voltage cut off
3. Low voltage cut off
4. Wear and tear
All the above protections and safety measures are not incorporated in the conventional stabilizers and that is what makes our differential power mode static stabilizer very reliable and unique.
