The dangerously low or high voltage in your home network

In most cases we are rarely think over what is the tension in our home network. But this is a very important indicator that affects absolutely all appliances in our house.

So let's find out what is dangerous high as well as low voltage in our home networks.

How to measure the voltage

In order to measure the voltage, we need this appliance as a multimeter.

Turn it on and check the voltage simply insert the ends into a nearby outlet.

Alternatively, now produce bespereboynik and even sockets with built-in voltage indicator.

normal stress

Most of you know that for Russian networking standard is considered to be the voltage of 220 V. But you see this value is extremely rare. Admissible deviation is considered an indicator of 5% to less than 10% and in a big way

It turns out that the minimum acceptable voltage in your home is equal to 209 V, and the maximum value must not exceed 242 V.

If, after checking your records are in these ranges, then nothing to worry about. If they are badly knocked out, it's time to take urgent action.

low voltage

Since the low voltage electrical influences? And like this:

The service life of LED lamps is reduced by 3-4 times. Energy-saving lamps begin to flicker, which also leads to early failure. Incandescent lamps in this respect are more resistant they begin dimly lit, but it can also burn out very quickly.

Any appliance, which has an engine, for example, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, microwave, begin to consume a third more electricity. Also, this mode heats the engines and they also fail.

Electrical appliances, which have power supplies, for example, televisions, moving in extreme mode, which also reduces the service life by 30-40%.

As we see low voltage is very harmful phenomenon.

High voltage

I've already told you what's dangerous low voltage. So let's find out how high voltage affects our equipment.

The most susceptible to high voltage in this house with you is a device with built-in or remote power supplies. Within these blocks are capacitors, which literally explode if they apply voltage to which they were not designed.

It is also very poorly tolerate the high voltage light bulbs, as the latest LED and fluorescent lamps used power supply circuit and a starter, they also almost immediately fail. A conventional incandescent lamps can even spectacularly burst (pretty scaring others).

Engines will also work wear, greatly reduce the life of trouble-free service.

Let's summarize this article. As we see low and high voltage in your home network the same bad effect on our home appliances. Therefore, if you notice it, then start we must act immediately. But what can be done by yourself we'll look at the following resources.
