Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenge of obtaining a stable 110VAC supply from a 220VAC source with voltage fluctuations. Participants explore various solutions, including inverters, converters, and other power supply tools, while considering the requirements of a specific weighing machine that operates at 110VAC and 60Hz.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses gratitude for previous assistance and seeks a solution to maintain a stable 110VAC supply from a fluctuating 220VAC source.
  • Another participant notes that mains voltage fluctuations can be significant (10-15%) and suggests using a battery-powered inverter for better stability, implying that appliances should be designed to handle such fluctuations.
  • A suggestion is made to consider a "Sola Transformer," which is said to work well for electronic devices, but caution is advised when using it with an inverter.
  • A participant questions the necessity of maintaining a voltage tolerance of better than +/- 1%, arguing that commercially available machines typically do not require such tight specifications.
  • There is a reminder to check the frequency requirements of the weighing machine, as it may be important to ensure compatibility with the local electricity supply.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the best solution for achieving a stable 110VAC supply. There are differing views on the necessity of strict voltage tolerance and the design expectations of the weighing machine.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the machine's tolerance and frequency requirements remain unverified, and the discussion does not resolve the implications of using different power supply tools.

First of all THANKS A LOT to all those who helped me by replyig to my earlier posts.

Hello Everyone,
I have 220v supply in my area with a voltage fluctuations.
I want to run 5 amp, 110vac 60hz weighing machine on it with a 220v to 110v inverter that doesn't survives voltage fluctuations.
What inverter, converter, ups, backup power supply tool i need to use that never goes to 109vac or 111vac & stables at 110vac?
Is there anything manufactured or available on market that can HOLD & GRIP 110vac for me from 220vac fluctuated power supply?
Awaiting reply.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
There will always be fluctuations of mains voltage often easily up to 10 - 15%

To drop that to just a few % you could use a battery powered inverter which would be much more stable some I have seen are usually 5% or less in output fluctuation.

But when it comes down to it, if yoo have a mains appliance of some sort and it cannot handle a fluctuation of 10 - 15% then its design is extremely poor and you should probably be looking for a more reliable piece of equipment

I think you will have to rely on google searches. You haven't indicated whether it is necessary to convert the frequency, also, and that will be important. You say your weighing machine requires 60Hz, but if your country's electricity supply is 50Hz you should first check the machine's documentation, you may discover it can also work off 50Hz. Whatever it needs, you will have to be sure to provide.

Hi Azee. How exactly did you come to the conclusion that your machine requires a voltage tolerance of better than +/- 1%

If this is a commercially available machine then it is overwhelming unlikely that it would really require such a tight tolerance, for the simple reason that nowhere in the world is power delivered at that level of tolerance!
