Can I use a choke to protect against overvoltage (like a stabilizer)?
Guys, but if instead of a voltage stabilizer you insert a cheaper choke into the apartment wiring (presumably 50-100 turns of wire per 1.5 sq. Mm), will it at least protect my household appliances from power surges?
Hello! It will not save. Yes, in theory, you can pay off the "extra" volts, but your load changes, according to Ohm's law the voltage drop across the inductor will also change. If the current consumption by the load is static, then the inductor can perform current-limiting functions and some “extra” volts will remain on it (U = I * Z). And the inductor will protect against current surges.
But it cannot be a substitute for the stabilizer. Low-power stabilizers nowadays are not too expensive - a 500 VA model (for a TV and set-top box is enough) you can buy for 1500-2000, which is clearly cheaper than buying a new TV.
