How to deal with low voltage in the country?
My house is located in a summer house cooperative, the network of this cooperative is worn out and produces weak output voltage. There is a voltage stabilizer, but it is not enough because the voltage drops to 100 or lower. Tell me, is there any way to locally solve the problem of low voltage in the area?
Hello! Indeed, most network stabilizers are not designed for this voltage, usually the lower threshold is 140-160 volts. In your case, does it drop to such indicators periodically, or is it often? As an option, put LATR (laboratory autotransformer) on vital devices and configure it so that at the very minimum voltage in the network there is at least 150-160 volts so that the stabilizer can work. Plus you can periodically adjust.
You can put a step-up transformer or an autotransformer on the whole house, but then what to do when the voltage in the network rises to normal 200-220 volts? That is, for a more specific answer, I need to understand how exactly your voltage drops - always lowered and drops to 100, or is it 220 and jumps? Of course, you can make a circuit that will monitor the voltage and simply connect and disconnect the transformer when needed so that the stabilizer subsequently stabilizes it, but can you handle it?
