Automatic and Servo voltage stabilizers both work on correcting the voltage of your electronic appliances and equipment. However, both are different in the way they operate and you can choose keeping in mind the following differences between them.
Aspect | Servo Voltage Stabilizers | Automatic Voltage Stabilizers |
---|---|---|
Regulation Mechanism | Servo motor-driven mechanism | Relay-based mechanism and electronic circuits |
Response Time | Fast (typically in milliseconds) | Fast |
Voltage Accuracy | Very precise (typically +/-1%) | Accurate (typically +/-3% to +/-5%) |
Handling Capacity | Efficiently handles high and low fluctuations | Suitable for moderate fluctuations |
Maintenance | May require periodic maintenance due to mechanical components | Minimal maintenance, occasional servicing may be needed |
Cost | Generally more expensive due to mechanical components and precise regulation | Usually more cost-effective, especially for smaller capacity units |
Power Requirements | Suitable for high power requirements | Suitable for moderate power requirements |
Running Cost | Typically higher due to mechanical wear and tear, and energy consumption by servo motor | Generally lower due to minimal maintenance and energy-efficient operation |
Typical Applications | Critical applications requiring precise voltage regulation, such as industrial machinery, medical equipment, and data centers | Commercial establishments, residential buildings, small offices, and applications with moderate voltage fluctuation requirements |
Thus, depending on your power requirements, required response time and application, you can make an informed decision about which stabilizer is suitable for your purpose.
