Voltage Stabilisers vs. Voltage Optimisation: Choosing the Right Solution for Your Business  

Managing voltage levels within your business is essential to make sure you’re only using and paying for the energy you need, as well as protecting the long-term performance of your equipment. 

Two devices are commonly used for this purpose, Voltage Optimisers and Voltage Stabilisers. 

Despite having similar functions, they operate differently and provide unique business benefits. 

In this article, we’ll explore the differences between the two devices to help you make an informed decision for your business. 

Key Takeaways:

• Voltage optimisers actively optimise voltage levels for energy efficiency, while voltage stabilisers passively maintain a stable output voltage.
• Voltage optimisers can cater to fluctuating voltage levels and offer customisation options, whereas voltage stabilisers focus on providing a constant voltage output.

Voltage Optimisation: The Proactive Approach 

Voltage Optimisers are designed to regulate and optimise voltage levels. This is to ensure the best energy efficiency without compromising on performance. 

How does a voltage optimiser work? 

A voltage optimiser will dynamically adjust incoming voltage to match the optimal level required by the connected equipment. 

One of the primary advantages is the ability to cater to the fluctuating voltage levels commonly found in UK electrical grids. UK electrical equipment typically needs 220 volts to operate. However, the voltage supplied by the UK national grid can be as high as 253 volts.  

By stabilising voltage, the device ensures consistent power delivery, safeguards sensitive equipment from voltage fluctuations (that could potentially cause damage) and reduces energy consumption. 

A voltage optimiser can also be customised to meet specific voltage requirements. Precision voltage control has the potential to reduce your equipment and appliances’ energy usage by up to 19%. 

Voltage Stabilisers: Maintaining not Adapting 

Voltage Stabilisers are devices that are designed to maintain a stable output voltage, irrespective of fluctuations in input voltage. 

How does a voltage stabiliser work? 

Voltage stabilisers operate passively. Their key function is to provide a constant voltage output within a specified range, ensuring a consistent power supply to connected devices. 

While voltage stabilisers can deliver a steady voltage output, they do not offer the same level of energy optimisation. 

Their primary objective is voltage stability rather than energy efficiency, making them more suitable for applications where maintaining a consistent level is most important. 

Making the Right Choice 

While both voltage optimisers and voltage stabilisers play vital roles in managing voltage levels, their operational principles and intended applications differ significantly.  

Voltage optimisers offer a proactive solution to reduce energy consumption and are an investment for the future. By investing you’re showing a commitment to running your business in a more energy-efficient way, while also protecting the long-term health of your equipment.
