Over and Under Voltage smoothing

Featured Replies

Does anyone know of a product in south africa similar to this one https://www.salicru.com/gb-en/vr-eqx.html

My voltage  varies between 237-265 mostly over 248v all the time

My one fridge has already packed up and i am sure there will be more things to follow

Or are there any hybrid inverters that constantly supply 230v to household regardless of the grid voltage on and off grid

The only inverter I know of is the Axpert King models that use double conversion on AC in to smooth the voltage. They are sold specifically for areas with unstable grid supply. Just be aware that you will have to run everything 'through' the inverter so you will be limited to the max output of the inverter.

There may be other brands I am not aware of.

Most inverters would either shut down or activate islanding above 245vac.

There are AVS ( automatic voltage stabilizer) available but are very expensive. To fit this unit to your incoming single phase Eskom supply you will need a 17kva unit. Below a company i have used before that supplies these units PHD Powerhouse.
