    Servicing a Claude Lyons TS Voltage Stabiliser that is 32 years young

    Our team recently went to service a Claude Lyons TS Voltage Stabiliser which has been in constant operation since 1989.

     

    After 32 years of use, this impressive unit required no new parts during its inspection (just the removal of a few cobwebs). It was designed and manufactured in the UK, just as they continue to be, and the condition of this unit is a testament to the build quality.

    What are Variable Transformers?



    Our Variable transformers (or Regavolt® as we call them) can deliver a user adjustable output voltage, usually between 0-100% or 0-113% of the input voltage depending on model. These transformers are used in a wide variety of different applications, but are the most commonly found in industrial settings. Often controlled with an optional knob dial, Regavolts are generally used in applications where you need to adjust (ramp up or down) the AC input voltage for a piece of test equipment to a voltage other than that delivered by the energy provider.

    Although they operate on similar principles, Regavolts do vary from standard transformers due to the autotransformer design meaning that they only have a single coil which means that there is no physical separation between the voltage source and the load. But how do Regavolts work? As you turn the dial knob, a carbon roller brush moves across an exposed part of the windings, as the brush moves from the neutral connection end
