Power Stabilizers.

AVOlio

So i recently faced a problem with the power of my house which caused serious damage to my UPS.

I have been told that there are Power stabilizers that prevent these kind of problems.
(If i would have been told about them before i got the UPS, that would have been GOOD also !! )

So where can i find them ?! And what about their price tags ?!

Do you mean ? ( survolteur)

AVOlio

Im not sure really..
Generally, it is supposed to protect the electrical appliances from Sudden HIGH currents from the electricity.
So are those Survolteurs ?!

Romario

Yeah they protect your electrical appliances from high and low tension electricity. ( my father is an electrician ) you can find them in electric store. There different intesity for a normal house 10-15 ampere are enough (100$-150$ i guess ) but be aware some of them are not good.
If you have any friend or siblings who works in electricity ask him to buy you one.

No no..
I dont want it for the whole house,
I just want one for my UPS and the attachments on it.
Its a 2200VA ups, and perhaps moving to a 3000VA one.

Romario

You can put it to your ups alone

Well a 2000W stabilizer should do the job, but I recommend that you get a 2500W or 3000W stabilizer for safety purposes. If you want an affordable one, check the stabilizers at Katranji (prices appear when you hover over a selection). If you want something a bit more reliable, check the ones at EDM, Jubaili Motors, or Sakr. Now, the best stabilizers on the market can be found at MPS (Mideast Power Systems), but they are pretty expensive and usually used for corporates or hospitals.

Thank you @mesa177 for the wide variety of Solutions you have given me ! xD
I will go with the 3000W one in case Pcandparts agree to replace my 2200VA UPS for a 3000VA one.
In case they dont, i will just stick with the 2000W stabilizer.

About Katranji, is it localized in Lebanon ?! How can i purchase their products ?!

Also, these stabilizers, they get the job done right ?!
And IF, lets say another power surge occurs, they will protect the appliances and themselves ?!
Like not as in they protect the appliances but They get damaged in return... ?

It is weird, because UPS should take care about electricity, good ones have circuits same as voltage stabilizers have (AVR).
The only thing can happen with it, if voltage too low, and it will keep switching to battery.

I got a 3000VA AVR motorisé for my 2 ups which are 2000VA and 1200VA and it costed me 100$ and now the electricity seems way more better to the devices.

Of course the shop is located in Lebanon, wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't. The store is located next to ER gate of Hariri Governmental Hospital on Jnah, Beirut.

Yes the stabilizer's job is to protect the system connected to it from power surges. They do not get damaged in return, they just regulate the wall's output voltage (i.e. government voltage supplied by the power lines) to be exactly 220VAC each time the unit is operated.

A side note, you can test the system at Katranji before purchase, and I recommend that you do so because sometimes the stabilizers come defected from the manufacturer's end.

well, for these kinds of reasons i have a power cutter, which is basically a small box that you set the maximum high and minimum low voltage on it, when it exceeds the value given, it automatically cuts off the power until it gets back to normal, when it does go back to normal it puts the power back on after a specified minute (you can choose how many minutes)
i have one of those for the whole house and another one for the fridge, for my pc i have a fuse box, which is basically a fuse that burns on high voltage, after the fuse box i have "two" custom installed fuses in my ups, one on positive and one on negative wire, and finally i have the fuse in my computer psu, so basically in order for my computer to be fried, the high power has to go thru a power cutter-a fuse box-another set of fuse- power supply fuse, then maybe it can fry my pc :P

Thank you guys for all the help, specially @mesa177.

Now just waiting to see what pcandparts will say about the UPS.

Ok this is going to be a second post, but never mind.

It seems that i will not have enough budget to purchase 3000W Stabilizer..
So are ther ways to protect my hardware without those stabilizers ?! Ways with less budget ? say 20-30$ ?

I heard that there are those "multiple power plug" cables, that have fuses and stabilizers built in.. any ideas where to get them? Good quality ones ?!

Also , how do You (other people here on Lebgeeks) have your systems and rigs Protected ??

Will this do the job ?

if you have read my last post properly you wouldn't even have asked these questions,all the items i mentioned in my last post cost around 20$ if not less
