Things You Should Know About Servo Stabilisers

A servo stabiliser is a device that stabilises the voltage and safeguards the electrical equipment. The stabiliser has a transformer booster that captures voltage changes in the input and regulates current to the correct output.

What are the spare parts for servo stabiliser?

Some of the common spare parts for servo stabilisers include:

  • Carbon brush
  • Dimmer (variable transformer)
  • Buck boost transformer (series transformer)
  • Servomotor – synchronising motors
  • MCB, MCCB
  • Contactor or relay

What is a carbon brush?

A carbon brush is an essential component in a servo stabiliser. It may look like a small part, but it plays an important role in providing the machine with power stability and reliability during operation. The carbon brush fits into the shaft of the servo stabiliser to make contact with the dimmer; this allows for smooth transitions in switching from high to low input voltages. Without this vital component, servo stabilisers can be prone to wear down quickly and need frequent replacement due to voltage variations which can cause early burning out of the brushes.

What is a dimmer (Variable Transformer)?

When the perfect level of brightness is needed in a given environment, dimmers provide a great solution. A dimmer is an electrical or electronic device that works by changing the current or voltage to vary the brightness of luminaries.

There are two types of transformers:

  • Two-winding transformer dimmer
  • Auto-transformer dimmer

What is a buck-boost transformer?

A buck–boost transformer adjusts the voltage applied to alternate current equipment.

What is a servomotor?

Servomotor is an important component when it comes to controlling AC power. This motor allows for AC current to be regulated as its arm rotates according to an input voltage, either clockwise or counterclockwise. This helps prevent the overloading of the electrical circuit and ensures efficient power delivery of electricity. It ensures that the circuit gets the correct amount of energy and that not too little nor too much energy is used at any given time.

What is a contactor?

A contactor is an electrical device that controls power flow in servo stabiliser systems. This specialised device works by reacting to a current or voltage overload, cutting off any excess from the system and protecting it from damage.

What is MCB, MCCB in servo stabiliser?

  • MCB: MCB stands for Miniature Circuit Breaker and is used to switch on/off the stabiliser while providing important protection against short circuits.
  • MCCB: MCCB stands for Molded Case Circuit Breaker. It provides overload protection and thermal and magnetic protection, making it an invaluable addition to any servo stabiliser system.
