Introduction:
Voltage stabilizers are often misunderstood due to outdated advice, half-truths, and technical jargon. At PEQVI, we believe in empowering users with accurate knowledge. This blog clears popular myths and replaces them with facts that help customers make smarter decisions about their power protection needs.
Myth vs Truth – Table 1
| ⚠️ Myth | ✅ Fact |
|---|---|
| All voltage stabilizers function the same. | Stabilizer types vary: servo-based models offer superior precision and faster correction. |
| Stabilizers only protect from high voltage. | PEQVI stabilizers manage both high and low voltage conditions efficiently. |
| You don’t need a stabilizer if your area has reliable power. | Minor voltage shifts occur daily, silently harming electronics. |
| One stabilizer can protect the entire building. | Load, phase, and equipment type determine how many stabilizers are required. |
| Stabilizers increase electricity bills. | Efficient stabilizers like PEQVI reduce losses and can lower your energy costs. |
| Voltage protection is optional for inverters. | Inverters are sensitive to voltage — protection is essential for their longevity. |
| Relay-based stabilizers are as fast as servo stabilizers. | Servo stabilizers correct voltage much faster and more precisely. |
| All brands use the same internal components. | PEQVI uses CRGO core transformers and copper windings for better reliability. |
| Home appliances come with built-in voltage protection. | Internal protection is limited — external stabilizers offer layered safety. |
| Once installed, stabilizers need no maintenance. | Regular check-ups improve performance and lifespan. |
| Stabilizers aren’t necessary for LED lighting. | Even LEDs degrade faster under voltage fluctuation. |
| Aluminum windings work the same as copper. | Copper windings conduct better, resist heat, and last longer. |
| Output voltage of all stabilizers is fixed. | PEQVI units provide regulated voltage output even during extreme fluctuation. |
| You only need protection during summer. | Voltage variation happens year-round, even during winters or low-load seasons. |
| The kVA rating isn’t important. | Over or under-sized stabilizers lead to inefficiency or equipment failure. |
| Voltage fluctuation won’t affect commercial offices. | PCs, routers, and servers are highly sensitive to unstable power. |
| Any technician can repair a stabilizer. | Servo stabilizers require skilled experts for proper servicing. |
| A stabilizer protects against lightning. | It protects from surges, not direct lightning. Surge arrestors are also needed. |
| No difference between single-phase and three-phase stabilizers. | Each serves a different system — using the wrong type causes imbalances. |
| Transformers inside all stabilizers are the same. | PEQVI uses mitred CRGO lamination cores to minimize energy loss. |
| Faster correction means more noise. | PEQVI stabilizers use silent motors and fanless technology in select models. |
| Voltage stabilizers have no role in industrial safety. | Voltage imbalances can lead to motor burnout, downtime, and fire risk. |
| Fluctuations don’t affect routers or modems. | Even small spikes can cause restarts or signal issues. |
| All stabilizers have the same response time. | PEQVI’s digital servo stabilizers offer millisecond-level correction. |
| Using a stabilizer voids equipment warranty. | Most manufacturers recommend them — lack of protection can void warranties. |
| Industrial loads don’t need phase balancing. | PEQVI’s 3-phase stabilizers maintain precise load balance, improving power factor. |
| Voltage fluctuations are visible every time. | Many occur silently, without flickering lights or obvious signs. |
| Old stabilizers are still effective. | Outdated models may lack safety, efficiency, and response speed. |
| High-end devices like TVs don’t need protection. | The more advanced the device, the more vulnerable it is to spikes. |
| Servo motors in stabilizers make noise. | PEQVI uses quiet motor designs engineered for smooth operation. |
| Once set up, you don’t need to monitor voltage. | Smart stabilizers with digital meters help monitor voltage health. |
| All voltage meters are accurate. | PEQVI uses calibrated digital displays for real-time precision. |
| Voltage correction causes frequent shutdowns. | PEQVI stabilizers maintain power continuity during correction. |
| You can’t run AC and refrigerator on the same stabilizer. | With the right kVA and dual output model, you absolutely can. |
| All branded stabilizers are equally durable. | PEQVI’s build quality, QC processes, and certifications ensure long-lasting performance. |
Why These Myths Exist
- Lack of awareness about internal components like BBT or control cards.
- Misleading marketing from non-specialist brands.
- Outdated product knowledge passed on from technicians.
