Discuss Voltage Stabiliser in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
Looking to use the Marshall Tufflex ones. What would you recommend?
Thanks.
They market it as “cutting edge technology”, I found the same thing in a 1938 copy of Stubbs electrical encyclopaedia.
You could just use a transformer
If you're looking at voltage optimisation bear in mind that most units just reduce the voltage by a percentage. Therefore if the incoming voltage is fluctuating, so will the outgoing voltage.
They are basically step down transformers. Some can supposedly maintain a steady output voltage.
the problem with most transformers is the output would vary depending on the imput.I mentioned that in an earlier post:

thats why i sugested a ups.A transformer will not provide voltage stability. The O/P will vary with the I/P which isn’t what this question is about.
The OP also mentioned the supply is for equipment used on European system, therefore, doesn't need a voltage stabiliser
Why not?
Because, their voltage like ours, fluctuates at the same tolerances
european harmonisation
No it doesn't, harmonisation is a big myth, nobody has changed anything!
Not strictly true.. Voltage levels vary but the tolerances are the same.
therefore, voltage stabiliser not required, just a transformer
Irrelevant anyway as the kit is rated 230
No it doesn't, harmonisation is a big myth, nobody has changed anything!
Not irrelevant, the kit is rated 220 - 230V apparently and out voltage is 240 -250V in reality. But it does occasionally dip lower so a transformer would drop the voltage too low sometimes. If the machine needs a more stable supply than it has at the moment then a transformer won't cure the issue
im sorry but that is incorrect
Beat me to it Dave
