We are surrounded by electronic devices around us. Most of these devices are powered by the wall power outlets around our house. While we don’t need a voltage stabilizer if the power supply is ideal, we know that the conditions here are very far from ideal. There are times when power supply fluctuates or there are sudden changes in input voltage to the devices. These events might be rare but they can cause a lot of damage if you don’t take appropriate protection against them. Well voltage stabilizers are to your rescue.
Remember the old times when your huge television set was connected to power through a metal box with a knob on it. These boxes with knobs used to be voltage stabilizers and the knob was meant to alter the voltage. As your devices grew smarter, these things followed. They had to. I mean how awkward would it be to plug in your wall mounted LED TV into a box that is sitting on a small table. If you have recently bought a television, music system, DVD player, printer or something similar, you are probably looking for a voltage stabilizer to keep, whatever you bought, safe.
Asia Power AVR 600 is a smart looking voltage stabilizer to complement your electronic devices. It isn’t exactly boxy like most stabilizers are and looks more like an overgrown extension board. It has got three output sockets and can be mounted on a wall like an extension board. It has got LED indicator to indicate the operating state. The stabilizer is almost 25 cm long and weighs 1.2 kgs. The built quality is decent though it could have been better. The cable quality and length is good. The cable can take up some rough use without any damage.
They claim that the Asia Power AVR 600 stabilizer input can vary from 120V to 300V. It can regulate the output voltage by -15%-+12%. The operating frequency is obviously 50 Hz. It has 2 boost and buck levels. It comes with one year of warranty though we have had bad reviews about their customer support. There is a support centre number who can guide you about the product or any other query related to your products service.
Devices these days have a wide range of operating voltage and can operate at voltages that are far from ideal. You can check that in the device user manual. What they need is just protection against surge as they are not able to handle that and it would damage their power supply units. For such devices, instead of investing into a voltage stabilizer, you can simply buy a surge protector. They can keep your devices safe against sudden spikes in voltage. But if you are looking for a stabilizer, we would recommend the Asia Power AVR 600 for its good design, decent build quality and satisfactory performance. Also it would easily blend in with your other devices rather than taking up a spot sitting on a flat surface. It is available through various online retailers for 1,645 INR.
