ABSTRACT
Despite all attempt of the federal government to have not only an uninterrupted power supply for all cities in Nigeria, but a voltage that is inconformity with the recommended 220/230v for domestic consumption for example. The NEPA Plc is facing some difficulties in generating, transmitting and distributing the required voltage stabilizer, which could be connected, to the main and then the load is in turn connected to it.
This automatic, AC voltage stabilizer has two major sections.
The transformer section, the control circuit unit the third section is the protective unit.
The output of this voltage stabilizer after series of test were performed on it has a voltage 228 + 12 at an overall output power of 1.5 KVA.
