How to increase the voltage?
Sometimes you may run into trouble whenbecause of low voltage, household appliances stop working. Unaware people panic and call in the Gorcell, cause an electrician. But in fact, so that all devices can work normally at any time of the day and under any conditions, you need to know how to increase the voltage. To do this, you do not need to call an electrician - enough to equip yourself with patience, some simple tools that are usually in each house, and the most basic knowledge of physics and electrical engineering from the school curriculum. If you do not remember anything really - take a textbook and read it.
Ways to increase the voltage
In order to increase the network voltage, you can apply either of the two options. In the first case, you can buy a voltage regulator, in the second - a step-up transformer.
Voltage regulator
This is the easiest way. The voltage regulator is automatic and manual. The automatic stabilizer keeps the installed power of the voltage itself, and it is possible to manually adjust the power and adjust it manually, too. Previously, voltage regulators were in almost every home, as the voltage in the network jumped very often, and even now the power of the current supply varies quite often. For example, while all the people at work, the power of the voltage does not cause any complaints. But in the evening, when all the households at home and turn on a bunch of household appliances, their neighbors can significantly jump tension.
The stabilizer here plays a dual role - with onehand side, it increases the suddenly lowered voltage, giving the technician trouble-free operation, and on the other hand it provides safety, preventing the possible occurrence of short circuits due to frequent voltage surges. The stabilizer is a very useful thing, but unreasonably expensive, so if you do not have a Soviet stabilizer in your house, it's better to go another way.
Step-up transformer
Another way is to purchase a transformer boostingvoltage. However, in order to choose the right transformer, you need to understand some of the formulas. Its primary winding should be 220 volts. But the secondary winding should consist precisely of the amount of voltage that you do not have. To calculate the required amount of power, you need to work with the formula IMr.= PMr./ UMr., and also with the formula P = U2 x I2.
By the first formula, you can find the currentsecondary winding. Then by the second formula you can find the power, which is denoted by P. It is from the results you can determine which transformer you need. That is, the main parameters when choosing a transformer are its output voltage and power.
Then, using the obtained data, you should consider the formula Uout = Uin + (-) Uin/TOtr, where Ktr = U1/ U2. From the calculations it becomes clear to you that in order to obtain an increased power of the electrical network, it is easy enough to phase the primary or secondary winding.
Before increasing the voltage in the network andTo install the purchased transformer, you must decide on where to install this device. As a rule, transformers of private houses are installed somewhere in the basement. If you do not have a private house or a cottage, it is more advisable to install a transformer somewhere in the back room or storage room - in a word, where people are not always there.
