How Big A Voltage Stabilizer Should A 1.5hp Air Conditioner Use?

The season with the highest frequency of household appliances is the hot summer, especially air conditioners and refrigerators. Summer is also the peak period of electricity consumption. In many places, due to the relatively low voltage of the external network, the air conditioner often fails to start, so many people will consider buying a Automatic Voltage Regulator.

In fact, we have encountered many similar problems. Today, the editor will explain this algorithm to you:

1. Calculate the power of the voltage stabilizer: The main load of the air conditioner is the compressor, so it belongs to the motor load. The current of the motor is very large when it starts instantly. Although many air conditioners are now variable frequency started, the current is still very large when starting. Therefore, when equipping the voltage stabilizer, there should be a working margin. If the air conditioner is 2KW, the voltage stabilizer is equipped with a 6KW voltage stabilizer according to 3 times the power.

2. How to calculate the power of the air conditioner? Generally, air conditioners have 1P, 1.5P, 2P, 3P, 1P=0.75KW, and everyone can calculate according to this.

3. The power factor of the voltage stabilizer. Currently, 80% of the voltage stabilizers on the market have a power factor of 0.7, and 20% of the voltage stabilizers have a power factor of 0.8. What does this mean? For a 10KVA voltage stabilizer, the actual output power x 0.7 = 7KW
