Do I need an automatic voltage regulator for my PC?

Definitely get a UPS. A sudden power cutoff can destroy a computer. AVR/surge protector will only protect during surges and dips.

What is the use of AVR in PC?

The AVR regulates voltage variations to deliver constant, reliable power supply. Without an automatic voltage regulator, voltage can sag, spike or surge and damage electrical devices.

Is it bad to leave AVR on?

Our modern AV receivers though have a solid-state circuitry that can settle down in just a few minutes. Leaving the AV receiver and amp on will not cause damage. Most are set up to use minimal power while on and are safe to put into standby mode.

Should gaming PC be plugged into the wall?

If you want to protect your gaming PC and equipment from power fluctuations, you have to plug them in the right way. The short answer is no, power strips do not protect your PC from any sort of electrical fluctuations. However, you can get more sophisticated strips that have surge protection built in.

Should I unplug my AVR when not in use?

As long as there is sufficient ventilation around the AVR (ie. not overheating), leave it on if you prefer.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a servo motor AVR?

Advantage over relay-type. The servo-motor type AVR provides more precise voltage regulation compared to relay-types because it adjusts mechanically to ensure your output voltage is always at 220V. Faster response time: expect the servo-motor type AVR to respond < 1 second of +/- 1\% voltage deviation. Disadvantage over relay-type.

Do I need an AVR for my appliances?

No, definitely not! An AVR is necessary for appliances with electronic components inside that are especially sensitive to voltage surges. Example appliances would include: Computer systems, refrigerators, Air conditioner, Flat screen TV, Audio/Video equipment.

What is avavr (automatic voltage regulator)?

AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) is a protective electrical device that is designed to protect equipments from volltage fluctuations as it automatically controls the voltage being supplied to certain equipment. Here in the Philippines, voltage spikes happen frequently and we cannot deny it.

What is an AVR used for?

An AVR is necessary for appliances with electronic components inside that are especially sensitive to voltage surges. Example appliances would include: Computer systems, refrigerators, Air conditioner, Flat screen TV, Audio/Video equipment.
