Suggest A Voltage Stabilizer

670W and 140W? I think these are the audio power values of your HT and Sub right? This has nothing to do with the stabilizer selection. I would easily allocate min 3 amp for any HT Receiver. ( In between 3 and 4 ideally.. ). You can refer the spec for power consumption.

Thank you for the suggestions.
Could somebody quickly comment on the calculations. I strongly feel that 1KVA would be sufficient. 2kVA would be an overkill. Has anybody used a V-Guard DIGI 200 for this purpose?

Dear Mr. Sunil,
Yes, 670W and 140W are listed under power consumption in the specifications sheet. I zeroed in on VGUARD DIGI 200 based on this. Please comment on this and the calculations too.
Thank you for your post.

Yes, i am using DIGI 200 from past 6 months. 1 kva might overload your system. Contact Manjunath, they also make 1 kva Voltage Stabilizer.

Dear Mr. Anil Kumar,
Nice to know that you are using a Digi 200 stab. Is it for a home theatre. What is its VA rating?

Hi,

The 670W for AVR is seems ok but the 140W for the sub is what Am not able to digest !! even if the sub is 80W RMS it will consume more power then the specified !!Anyway 2Kva is the Safest and the ideal is 1.5Kva ! the reason is, as already mentioned earlier the initial surge of the equipments and the transients of the same has to be kept in mind while selecting, so if you go for a 1Kva, then the 670+140watts (according to the spec) is already 810 watts plus your dvd another 25watts + TATASKY another 25watts + world space 10watt ,so all on all it will be around 900watts of actual load so 100watts buffer is hardly anything and will not make much sense (not to me atleast) so I'll stand by recommendation !! Even now if you think its an overkill then....

Regards.

i'm using a monster powercleaner ht 800, i got it for rs. 6k from sumaria,in mkt it is avbl for 8.5k.

i got a better audio and video quality and zero voltage problems.

Hi!!

I am not sure about the DIGI200 but I am using a 2kVA servo. For your setup as well, I will recommend a 2KvaServo. Stabilizer's are relay based and most of them don't have an intermediate setting.Voltage changes can be erractic when a bad fluctuation occurs. Servos are also relay based but they have direct contact system. They will only give you precise output and voltage changes will be smooth. Plus , there is always added protection min-max voltage cut-off. Rating of my Servo is 2kVA,140-280V. Any input in between this band will only give me 220V. Anything else will shut off the system. Thats it.

I was using a stabilizer earlier. Once I turned on the stabilizer and it blew the fuse of my DVD player abd SUB in one go. The power switches of both were already on. Then i upgraded on to a Servo. Three years and haven't lost a component. And, I live in UP. We all know the power condition here.
When you turn on a servo, it doesn't give output instantly. It waits for a second to adjust itself and then gives good 220V.

I have been observing the output Voltmeter of my servo with the music on. During low volumes there is no deflection of the meter needle. But, when u turn the vol. way up i.e. when the receiver is working overtime, one is able to see slight deflection. This is because the servo is working continuously to keep up with the demand. It never stops. I am not sure what a stabilizer will do in this case.

Also, to stop surges u may use a surge protector or a 1:1 transformer.
And, if u have the budget u may use a line conditioner.

Hit the DAC link on the page. You will spot a HI-fi Line filter.

Hope this info helps you. Again, my experience with stabilizers was bad. Maybe there are people who are more than happy with them. Its your call.

Hi
I am looking for a Power Conditioner for my CDP and AMP . I stay in Faridabad, Haryana and the electricity is a huge problem in terms on availability and voltage fluctuation. We have a 6 KVA Voltage stabilizer at the mains but I am looking for a power conditioner which also acts as a battery backup when the electricity goes off. I would like to know your thoughts on using an Online UPS from APC which not only cleans the power and protects against surges and spikes but also provides power from it's batteries which are constantly charged. The bonus is that when electricity goes off it also gives me power backup for atleast 5 mins for the song to finish and shut down the system.
Your views, thoughts......

Krish: How would you recommend the Monster Power cleaner and is it available in Delhi? The pricing seems to be attractive provided it does a good job.

What servo brands are available in India?
