Q1: Is a 100 kVA stabilizer typically used to protect an entire factory?
A 100 kVA unit is a major power solution. While it may protect an entire small to medium factory, in large facilities, it's more commonly used to safeguard a critical department or a specific high-power process line (e.g., a central plastic injection molding bay, a large compressor station, or a data center wing). A site energy audit is recommended to determine the exact total load and configuration needed.
Q2: How does the air-cooled system work, and are there any special ventilation requirements?
The air-cooled system uses internally mounted fans that automatically activate based on temperature to circulate air over heat-generating components like transformers and power electronics. It requires installation in a well-ventilated indoor environment with adequate clearance, typically at least 50cm on all sides, especially the air intake and exhaust, to ensure efficient heat dissipation and prevent overheating.
Q3: What is the expected lifespan of such a high-capacity stabilizer, and what impacts it most?
With proper installation and in a suitable environment, a high-quality 100 kVA voltage stabilizer can have an operational lifespan of 15-20 years or more. The factors that impact lifespan the most are: operating temperature (adequate cooling is vital), load profile (consistent operation below capacity is better than constant cycling at peak load), and the quality of the input power (frequent extreme surges or harmonics can stress components over time).
