VECTRONIC AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR (AVR) FAQS

What is a Vectronic AVR?

A Vectronic AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) is designed to stabilize voltage levels and protect connected equipment from damage caused by
power fluctuations, such as under-voltage, over-voltage, and minimal surge.

What are the key features of a Vectronic AVR?

i. Servo-based voltage stabilization and regulation
ii. Overload protection
iii. Wide input voltage range
iv. LCD or LED display for real-time status monitoring (in select models)

How do I calculate the appropriate AVR capacity?

The AVR capacity should be 20-50% more than the intended load capacity.

Can I use a Vectronic AVR with a generator?

Yes, but ensure:

i. The generator produces a stable voltage
ii. The AVR’s input voltage range matches the generator’s output
iii. The generator’s capacity can handle the connected load.

Why is my AVR overheating?

Overheating may be caused by:
i. Excessive load beyond the AVR’s capacity
ii. Blocked ventilation
iii. High ambient temperature
iv. Faulty internal components

Reduce the load, ensure proper ventilation, and avoid using the AVR in high-
temperature environments.

How do I maintain my AVR?

i. Keep the unit in a well-ventilated area
ii. Regularly clean the unit to prevent dust accumulation
iii. Avoid overloading the AVR
iv. Schedule periodic servicing by a qualified technician.

What should I do if my AVR stops working?

i. Check the power connection and input voltage
ii. Reduce the load and restart the AVR.

If issues persist, consult technical support.

Can an AVR protect my equipment during lightning strikes?

A Vectronic AVR is not designed to withstand direct lightning strikes. For better protection, use a surge protector or lightning arrester alongside the
AVR.

How do I know if my AVR is overloaded?

Signs of overloading include:

i. Activation of the overload indicator (light or alarm)
ii. Intermittent operation or shutdown of connected devices
iii. The AVR itself overheating

How often should I service my AVR?

It is recommended to service the AVR every 6–12 months or sooner if abnormal behavior is observed.

Where can I get spare parts for my AVR?

Purchase replacement parts through authorized dealers or directly from the manufacturer. Always confirm compatibility with your AVR model.
