🏠 voltage regulator for a gas boiler: Purpose and basic

Unstable operation of the power supply system is often the cause of premature failure heating equipment. Acquiring a voltage regulator for a gas boiler, it is possible to protect the equipment from adverse factors. We offer to deal with the appointment and there is a kind of similar devices.

Appointment of the voltage regulator for the gas boiler

Any modern gas boiler It is difficult to imagine without the automation and electronics, supporting its operation and guaranteeing the change in operating parameters in a strictly specified range. In order for such equipment to operate stably, it is necessary to provide a constant input voltage. Unfortunately, in the Russian reality it is quite difficult to do. Sudden change of the output parameters can cause failure of the gas boiler.

Correct this situation will help installation voltage regulator. This converter adjusts the input parameters of the system, leading them to the indicators, the relevant requirements gas-fired boiler. As a result, even with a substantial change in the parameters of the heating equipment at input 220 is energized with a perfect sinusoid.

How to operate various types of stabilizers voltage: design and features

The principle of operation of the stabilizer, a method for controlling the input and output parameters depends on device design. We offer a look into the existing species and their distinctive features.

Relay

The structure of the stabilizers of this type include special relayProviding switching between the windings of the transformer. Such design eliminates the moving parts, ensuring sufficient device reliability. Specifications of the relay determined by the amount of the stabilizer autotransformer steps. Choosing suitable model, it should be related to the sensitivity and range of adjustment to the characteristics of the boiler.

Electromechanical

The principle of operation of this type of stabilizer is moved by contact brushes tokosomnoy booster transformer. Its movement is achieved through servo. Such design makes it possible to regulate the voltage over a wide range. But the operation of such devices is possible only in a warm room. Furthermore, during operation must be replaced periodically and brushes to clean the device, as it is sufficiently sensitive to the presence of dust.

triac

To change the current in triac devices use semiconductor devices - Thyristors. These products are sometimes called thyristor. Through this structure, it becomes possible to achieve high accuracy preservative. It works much faster, works smoothly and silently. It is not as sensitive to the conditions of operation, but has a high cost.

double conversion

In these stabilizers do not have a massive transformer. The current supplied from the mains is rectified. Its value is raised or lowered to the desired level. Then the inverse transform. With an optional energy storage, it manages to improve the characteristics of the stabilizer.

Choosing a voltage regulator for a gas boiler: the main criteria

To a voltage regulator answered fully its requirements, his choice should be approached with great responsibility. There are a number of criteria that should be taken into consideration in this case. We offer to meet with them.

Specifications

Details of the stabilizer are important for selecting a suitable model. To determine the type, should pay attention to the following parameters:

• Phase. As a rule, it is a single-phase devices. But there are exceptions. If the regulator will be installed in the workshop or garageMay be required three-phase model;
• range of input and output voltage. This parameter depends on the future location of the device. Often, you can define the desired range alone, making voltage measurements over several days;
• performance. Attention should be given the speed and response time;
• shape of the output voltage;
• power. The parameter depends on the same parameter gas-fired boiler and the accompanying stress.

Attention! Knowing the total amount of power to get the optimum, it is necessary to increase it by 30%.

According to the protective functions

The duration of operation of the stabilizer heating system It depends on having overload protection. In this case, there is no fear that in low input voltage when the device will operate at maximum capacity, the stabilizer does not burn. The protection should be activated and the device is overheated.

leading manufacturers

Quality and reliable models that meet modern requirements, can be found in the catalogs of many manufacturers. Attention deserve stabilizers, issued under the trademark:

• "Calm". Domestic manufacturers offer a high-quality model, but the cost can hardly be called optimal;
• "Resanta". Manufacturer claimed represented the equipment at a reasonable price with the best technical characteristics.

You should know! Under the trademark "Resanta" manufactured products Latvian and Chinese manufacturers. The latter is characterized by low quality construction.

• «POWERCOM». High precision electronic appliances provide effective stabilization current having an error of 5%;
• «Sven». The Finnish company offers quality relay stabilizers. Compact models provide a wide adjustment range;
• «Teplocom». This product offers a domestic producer of "Bastion". The selection can be made in favor of devices suitable for interior and exterior settings. stabilizers error is 8%. It provides protection from lightning.

Popular models

Even knowing the basic selection criteria, it is difficult to give preference to a particular model. We offer to meet with stabilizers, are very popular among users.

Resanta ACH-500/1-C: rate of 4.1 / 5

Chinese stabilizer relay type with a capacity of 0.5 kW. Four-step regulation. At the output voltage of 160-240 V. Response time - 7 ms. It provides protection against overheating, short circuit, over voltage and noise. Connection via plug European standard, having grounding. The low cost makes this model popular with many customers. However, due to the use of substandard materials and components, certain devices have a limited life and often exhibit unstable operation.

Terms and connect the voltage regulator circuit for a gas boiler

To gas boiler worked long enough in the course of its operation did not have problems, you should properly connect the device, observing certain requirements. Installation must be carried out:

• in a dry place. Installation in the bathroom or room with an increased level humidity is unacceptable;
• away from combustible or flammable materials;
• in a place that provides fresh air. Installation in the cabinet is not allowed;
• near the gas boiler.

The stabilizer is connected to the network via the usual outlets. To connect the gas outlet of the boiler is used, located on the chassis.
