Q.What does a AVR do? How does it protect your appliances?
Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) are devises to stabilize the utility voltage before supplying to the connected equipment. It detects the voltage fluctuations in the utility and regulates the voltage to deliver a consistent range of output voltage.
If the utility voltage is low, the AVR will boost the low voltage to the required level of voltage and then supplies to the connected equipment to work without troubles. Conversely, if the utility voltage is high, the AVR will buck the high voltage to the required level of voltage and then supplies to the connected devices.

Q.My AVR is very hot. Is that normal?
It's common that the AVR heats up because the transformer inside is working. As long as it's acceptable to the touch then that’s normal.
Q.Does your appliance need an AVR?
An AVR is necessary for appliances with sensitive electronic components, such as computer systems, flat screen TV, refrigerators, and air conditioners…etc. However, when connecting AVR to your appliances, please always to make sure the total capacity of connected loading do not exceed the capacity of AVR.
Q.What AVR capacity do you require?
The AVR needs to be at least equal or bigger than the total capacity of all your appliances.
