What is a regulator and how does it work?

Today, there are many devices used to use energy more efficiently. One of them is undoubtedly regulators. UPSet regulators are the devices that serve best in this field and in this article we will give detailed information about how these devices work.

What is a Regulator?

Unbalances such as rise and fall occur at certain times in the mains voltage. These imbalances cause loss of efficiency. Here are regulators in devices used to prevent all these unusual imbalances. In other words, it allows to increase efficiency by voltage balancing. It can keep many physical quantities such as frequency, power, pressure, voltage, speed and current constant by changing these values again.

In addition, thanks to the electronic protection system, the regulators electromechanically cut the output voltage in case of drops and rises in voltages other than the setting. It also prevents any damage that may arise from this situation. Therefore, regulators are used in many other networks such as photocopiers, computers, fax, laboratory devices, home and lighting systems.

How Regulators Work?
In the working system of regulators, it is generally a matter of series connection to transformer and sensitive variac systems. These devices, which are boosters, adjust the voltage balancing in the best way. Regulators basically consist of a locator element, a servo motor and an emitter. The types are also complex or simple.

When short-circuited by the load, the regulators provide a path for the large currents to flow. The only shortcoming of simple series regulators is that they cannot respond immediately to these changes. But complex ones do not have this problem. These regulators, known as shunt sensing series regulators, respond instantly to even small changes.
In short, the regulator scheme balances the fluctuations of the voltages caused by changes in the mains voltage or changes in the load impedance and makes them acceptable.
