i am planning a servo type 25-30 kva stabilizer , it costs a bomb , some 40-50 k but is extremely stable , would eliminate 3-4 ac stabilizer too and refrigerator one also , i should have installed 6-7 years ago and i would have saved money, appliances would be saved

We have a large stabilizer at our place. Do not remember the rating. It has not saved me from the damage much. But it is pretty old and I am not even sure if it is working alright.

Speaking of stabilizers, I wonder if I should get one for my AC as a safer side. I have a V-Guard stabilizer for the refrigerator though.

Sharp sold you an AC without a stabilizer?

 

[Nishant]

Wait what? They're supposed to give a stabilizer with it? Or you are talking about the in-built thingy? :-|

AFAIK, dealer sells the stabilizer.

I mean if your AC has an internal stabilizer, then it's ok I assume. But I have not see any ACs in the market that do not require a stabilizer.

Will have to dig into the specifications. Or might as well get one in any case.

 

[Sushubh]

Maybe the power supply in your area is so good that dealers do not see any point in charging for a stabilizer

 

[Nishant]

Right. In fact I have never seen anyone using a stabilizer for their ACs.
