The SVR provides a low cost, reliable and robust alternative to the expensive voltage regulators that require energy storage. The SVR fully compensates the sags and surges that occur in normal distribution systems, preventing the majority of typical facility downtime. This translates to a solution that provides a quick payback and a high return on investment.
With fast adaptive response algorithms, these systems will respond to sags and surges within a ½ cycle and typically employ 16 taps to provide +/- 2% regulation for +/- 20% supply line deviation.
