Did you recently purchase an appliance and wish to protect it from voltage fluctuation damage?

The best way to do so is through an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR).

The problem is – there are so many options for you to choose from, how do you know which AVR will suit your needs best?

You’ve come to the right place. As a leading AVR manufacturer and AVR supplier in the Philippines, here at Panther, we want to make sure that consumers make informed decisions when purchasing an AVR so they get the best value for their money

Infographic teaching consumers the five questions to ask when purchasing an AVR

Question 1: Does your appliance need an AVR?

If your appliance has electronic components inside that are especially sensitive to voltage surges, then we recommend you plug the appliance into an AVR. Example appliances that require an AVR would include: Computer systems, refrigerators, Aircon, Flat screen TV, Audio/Video equipment.

RULE OF THUMB: The more expensive an appliance, the more you’d require an AVR. Keep in mind, an appliance is usually expensive BECAUSE of the sensitive electronic components within

On the other hand, simple appliances that don’t have sensitive electronic devices would not require an AVR. These would include: electric fans, heater, wireless telephone, portable radios

Comparison of appliances such as TV, refrigerator, aircon that need an AVR vs the ones that don't

 

Question 2: Do you need a relay-type or servo-motor type AVR?

What’s the difference between these two?

The first thing consumers notice is the price difference, as servo-motor types are more expensive compared to relay types.

In this case, is expensive necessarily better?

Yes and no.

Servo motor type AVRs provides more precise voltage regulation and faster response time (~millisecond difference) compared to relay-type AVRs.

To know more about the technical difference, you can read our detailed breakdown of the difference between servo-motor type and relay-type AVRs here

However, given how expensive servo motor AVRs are, we typically recommend them ONLY for sensitive equipment, such as medical devices, dental and laboratory equipment.

This is because a relay-type AVR (while less precise and with a slower response time) should suffice for general household and commercial appliances since their electronic components are less sensitive, therefore a slightly longer voltage regulation response is still within their acceptable range

Infographic detailing the differences between servo-motor type AVRs and relay-type AVRs

Of course, if you’ve got the money and are willing to invest it to provide maximum protection for your appliances, servo-motor AVR is the way to go. But rest assured, the relay-type AVR is equally up to the task in the case of general appliances such as TV, CCTV and POS systems

At Panther, we want to make sure we can serve all your needs – that’s why we sell both relay-type (PVE and PVR series) and servo-motor type AVRs (PVS series)

 

Question 3: What’s your AVR capacity requirement?

The AVR capacity requirement depends on the appliance you’ll be plugging into the AVR.

So, the first step is always this: Check the capacity (power consumption) of your appliance.

You can see this either on the appliance nameplate, or on its instruction manual. Take note: you want the PEAK/MAXIMUM capacity, not the average capacity.

What’s the difference?

The difference is (especially for motor type equipment): during startup, the equipment requires a lot more power (~3x greater) compared to its average power consumption in order to kickstart the motor. As such, if you can’t find the PEAK/MAX capacity, we suggest you add a buffer to the stated appliance power capacity.

Examples of appliances that are motor-type, and would require a startup motor power consumption buffer: refrigerator, aircon, kitchen blender, vacuum cleaner

For the step-by-step calculation, please check out this article on how to calculate for your appliance capacity requirements.

However, to be safe, we highly encourage you to ask the seller/manufacturer what their recommended AVR wattage is instead as they would know best

Additional things to consider:

  • Keep in mind that the AVR’s capacity requirement must be equal to or greater than your appliance’s max capacity.
  • As much as possible, we recommend a 1:1 ratio for your appliance and AVR. However, if you choose to plug in multiple appliances into your AVR, the sum total of each appliance’s MAX capacity (plus the buffer) should still be equal or less than the AVR’s capacity

Today, Panther AVRs range from 500W to 5000W in maximum capacity. We also have AVRs for three-phase equipment – if interested, please contact us directly

 

Question 4: What output voltage does your appliance require?

Keep in mind that appliances produced and sold in the Philippines typically require 220V AC, in line with the power supply provided by the local power utility companies (e.g., Meralco).

However, if your appliances were bought from US or Japan, then it would require 100V AC or 110V AC

Most AVRs in the Philippines only regulate and supply 220V AC output voltage, so if your appliance requires a different voltage, you would need to purchase a transformer AND an AVR.

Knowing this, Panther’s PVR and PVS* series can supply the following output voltage: 100V AC, 110V AC, 220V AC. This way, you no longer need to purchase a transformer – the AVR serves as both a step-down transformer and a voltage regulator, thereby saving you money!

In case you have specific output voltage requirements, please contact us directly so we can create a made-to-order AVR that’s suited to your needs

*Specifications can vary for PVS 3000 and above

Question 5: What other features do you need?

At Panther, we want only the best for our customers. That’s why Panther AVRs have the following features:

  • Switch: Gives you the option to turn on/off the AVR without needing to unplug from the power outlet
  • Fuse/Circuit Breaker: Protects your AVR and appliances from overload and short circuits
  • Power on Delay: Protects your appliance from sudden surges in electricity after a power outage (brownout/blackouts). It also comes with a bypass feature to override the Power on Delay in case of immediate need
  • Line/Noise Filter: Protects your appliances from line noise interference
  • Different outlet types: Choose between parallel outlets (Type A) and two-way outlets
  • LIFETIME SERVICE WARRANTY

Other common AVR questions asked

Do I need an AVR for my refrigerator?

Refrigerators are plugged in 24/7, which makes them more likely to suffer from damage due to power fluctuations and power outages. In fact, power outages are extra dangerous to refrigerators because it affects the circulation and stability of the refrigerant gas through the appliance’s evaporator and condenser coils.

Keeping all this in mind, we highly recommend you invest in an AVR with power-on-delay features to protect your refrigerator from damage.

  • The AVR (automatic voltage regulator) will provide 24/7 protection to your refrigerator in case of power sages, under- and overvoltage.
  • The power-on-delay will allow for the stabilization of the refrigerant gas before starting up the refrigerator compressor

However, if you’re on a budget and your refrigerator is pretty basic (e.g. beverage cooler, non-inverter refrigerator and freezer), you can also consider purchasing just a power-on-delay for your refrigerator. While this will not provide 24/7 voltage regulation, it will at least protect your refrigerator from damage caused by power surges post-power outage, as well as give the refrigerant gas time to stabilize.

For your reference, here are our recommended AVRs depending on your refrigerator model:

  • For inverter-type refrigerators purchased in the Philippines (220V): PVE D series (AVR with built-in power-on-delay)
  • For inverter-type refrigerators purchased in Japan (100V) or the US (110V): PVR series (which includes a built-in step-down transformer, so you can safely use your imported refrigerator in the Philippines
  • For basic refrigerators with minimal sensitive electronics: PPD 1000 (basic power-on-delay) or PVP 2500 (power-on-delay with high/low voltage protection and voltage surge protection)

Keep in mind as you purchase an AVR or power-on-delay, make sure you choose the right capacity. Since refrigerators have motors/compressors, it is important to build in a buffer to take into account the startup power motor consumption. To do so, follow below steps:

  • Check the refrigerator’s normal power consumption (ideally in Ampere). For example: the refrigerator uses 1.6A
  • Get the power wattage consumption by multiplying the ampere consumption to the refrigerator voltage. For example: the refrigerator was purchased in the Philippines and uses 230V. The power wattage = 1.6A x 230V = 368 Watts
  • Take into account the startup power motor consumption by adding a buffer (typically x3). For example: We calculated a 368 Watts power consumption previously. When we multiply this by 3, we get 368W x 3 = 1104 Watts
  • Choose an AVR or Power-on-Delay that is equal to or higher than the calculated power consumption. In this case, we would recommend the PVE 1501 D (1500 Watts AVR, with built-in power-on-delay)

 

Do I need an AVR for my TV?

It depends on the type of TV and how often you use the TV. Two questions to ask:

  • Is your TV a smart TV? If you answer yes, then we would recommend you purchase an AVR to help protect the TV’s sensitive electronics from damage
  • Do you regularly watch TV, and/or is the TV kept on regularly? If yes, then we would recommend you purchase an AVR for 24/7 protection

For TVs, a relay-type AVR is more than sufficient. As TVs will not automatically turn on after a power outage, they do not need the power-on-delay feature. As such, we would recommend the PVE AVR series for your TV’s protection.

Keep in mind as you purchase an AVR or power-on-delay, make sure you choose the right capacity. TVs do not have a built-in motor, so you can simply add a 20% voltage fluctuation buffer. For example, if your TV’s power consumption is 200 Watts, then you would want to include a 20% buffer = 200 Watts x 1.2 = 240 Watts. In this case, would recommend the PVE 501 for your TV.

    I have a Rainbow E-series vacuum with a wattage of 1200w 120v. I’ve read in some articles to get x3 the capacity of AVR so some suggested 5kva. Is this needed or can a 1500 watt (1.5kva)
    AVR suffice?

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day, 1500 Watts AVR will not suffice as the vacuum has a motor which needs to be accounted for in the power consumption.

      We suggest at least a 4K VA AVR, given the specifications you provided. However, we recommend you check with the vacuum supplier for the exact AVR capacity requirements. It’s possible that the vacuum is designed more efficiently, so you may need less AVR capacity.

      Hope this helps!

    Hi! Just curious…I’m not a techy person nor an electrical engineer…. Q1: What is the difference between an AVR and a Voltage Stabilizer?…I have an Inverter 2 door no frost 470L Beko ref. It has a 220-240V, is a Class T, wattage of 130 W, Frequency 60Hz (all info are as stated on a side panel sticker inside the ref). Most of the time, electricity in our subdivision fluctuates causing its compressor/ inverter control board ruined and my wallet from having it fixed. Q2: what should i purchase so as to protect my refg. from another damage, an avr or a stabilizer? Would like to have your expert advice in this. Salamat po.

      Good day, voltage stabilizer and AVR serve the exact same function – which is to ensure the output supplied to your appliance remains constant regardless of fluctuations in the voltage. As such, you can purchase either one to solve your voltage fluctuation issues – they’re the same, just named differently. Hope this answers your question!

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day, plugging in an AVR into a power generator in the event of a power outage is alright, PROVIDED the power generator can handle the load (generator’s load capacity is dependent on its RPM. Kindly check with your generator supplier on this matter). Note also that the power supplied by a generator is extremely erratic so expect to see extremely high/low voltage fluctuation. The AVR should be able to regulate said fluctuation, unless it goes beyond its acceptable input voltage range.
      We hope this helps!

      To answer your question:
      1. If power outage is for a short period of time and laptop still has charge remaining, you are better off NOT plugging in the laptop to the power generator supply, then simply charge once power is back
      2. However, if your laptop has run out of battery and you need to charge, then yes, a 500w AVR should be able to handle the fluctuation from the power generator.
      I can recommend two AVRs given your situation:
      – PVE 500 D (https://panther.ph/product/pve-500-d-relay-type-avr/) : Allowable input voltage range from 180V AC to 250V AC
      – PVR 500 (https://panther.ph/product/pvr-500-relay-type-avr/): Allowable input voltage range from 150V AC to 250V AC
      Note that PVR 500 has a greater allowable input voltage range which would help if your generator power is extremely erratic, however it is also more expensive compared to the PVE 500 D.

      Note: The UPS flickering in the situation as you described could also be because your Hyundai power generator is unable to supply enough power for your desktop computer resulting in the flickering. We also suggest you check with the generator supplier on this matter. If you plan to use laptop instead, keep in mind laptops tend to use less power vs desktop computer.

      We hope this helps in your decision making!

    My Appliances was a 50hz with 220-240V. What type of AVR you can recommending to use?

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! Please take note of the following:
      1. Before purchasing an AVR, determine which appliances you plan to plug in, and what their respective power consumption would be (in amps / watts). From there, you can then calculate the required AVR capacity. Here’s a step-by-step guide you can follow: https://panther.ph/how-to-calculate-appliance-capacity-requirements/ . Alternatively, you can check with your appliance supplier or you can send us this information to us so we can help you check.
      2. Your appliances require 50 Hz, but the Philippines’ cycle is 60 Hz. The AVR only regulates voltage supply, and will not change your appliance’s Hz cycle
      We hope this helps!

      Good day, you may use an extension cord to increase the number of outlets for your AVR. However kindly make sure that the total power consumption of the appliances you plug into the AVR (PVE 1500) should not exceed 1500 Watts, or else the AVR will experience overload.
      We hope this helps!

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day, an AVR is advised to protect your appliance from voltage fluctuations. However, if you don’t use the inkjet printer often (e.g., <15 mins per day), and it is typically turned off - then you don't necessarily need an AVR since there are minimal instances when your printer would be exposed to voltage fluctuations. We hope this helps!

    – Rated voltage: 230v
    – Rated frequency: 60Hz

      Good day, based on the standard calculation – you would require PVS 3000: https://panther.ph/product/pvs-3000-servo-motor-type-avr/ . However, for high powered device such as this, we recommend you also check with the supplier/manufacturer as it is possible the device is more energy efficient which would mean a lower capacity AVR would suffice.

    1)Hi! I heard about this vampire power consumption lately. I need your help by answering these questions please:

    1) Will my AVR 500 watts plugged on the wall consumes electricity even if it’s switched off and my TV attached to it is off too? If so, how much power it consumes?

    2) is my surge protector or my power delay box consumes power by its own too? Or it is dependent on the appliance plugged to it for power consumption to start.

    Thank you for a clear info you can give me.

      Good day!
      1) If the AVR is switched off, it won’t consume electricity.
      2) The surge protector and power-on-delay are all pass-through. On its own, its power consumption is incredibly minimal – pretty much negligible.

      Good day, given the specs you provided in the previous comment, we would normally recommend the 1500 watts AVR for your refrigerator, which has sufficient buffer to take into account the startup motor power consumption and voltage fluctuation: https://panther.ph/product/pve-1500-d-relay-type-avr/
      However, you can try to use the 1000 Watts AVR first, since you already purchased it (provided there’s a fuse/circuit breaker, which you can easily replace even if it overloads). There is a possibility the 1000 Watts AVR could suffice, depending on the Inverter Refrigerator actual design. If it overloads though, we would recommend you use the 1000 Watts AVR for another appliance instead, and use a 1500 Watts AVR for your refrigerator.

      Good day! We’re glad to hear our article was helpful for you.
      Given the details you’ve provided, you definitely need an AVR with built-in transformer. Here’s our PVR series, which would be compatible for that: https://panther.ph/product-category/appliance-protection/automatic-voltage-regulator/pvr-relay-type-with-transformer/
      However, to identify the AVR capacity your all-in-one desktop would require, we would recommend you check with your computer supplier, or see if there’s a watts/ampere rating label on your unit. The power cord amps is not a good representative of the unit’s actual load.
      Note that the typical rule of thumb would be ~500 Watts for basic desktop computers, but that it would be much higher if your computer is more decked out (E.g. gaming computer, with speakers, etc).

    Good evening! Meron po akong 110v Audio/Video Equipments from Canada. Bibili na po sana ako ng AVR Servo Type pero ang ini-recommend sa akin ng source ay Relay Type daw dapat dahilan sa frequency ng power fluctuation dito sa Pinas. Need your professional advise…

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! If your area experiences frequent power fluctuations, the implication would be: your servo motor type AVR would constantly be tripping and regulating the voltage to exactly 220V (or 110V if with built-in transformer). As the servo motor type AVR also has consumable parts inside, this means you would need to replace the consumables earlier than normal. However, if your equipment is not overtly sensitive, then a relay type AVR would work as well. If the supplier/manufacturer recommends relay type AVR, then we would recommend you follow their advice. Also, kindly note that your 110V audio/video equipment would also require a step-down transformer.
      For relay type AVR w/ built-in transformer, you can check out our PVR series: https://panther.ph/product-category/appliance-protection/automatic-voltage-regulator/pvr-relay-type-with-transformer/

      Good day! If this all belongs to one system, you can certainly plug it into one AVR. Note that given the power requirements of your signal processor, amplifier, and subwoofer – you would need a ~4000 Watts AVR to accommodate them all safely.
      At that range, we have the PVS 5000 available – which is a servo motor type AVR w/ built-in transformer and can accommodate up to 5000 Watts. See link: https://panther.ph/product/pvs-5000-servo-motor-type-avr/

      Good day! Yes, the main difference between the PVE and PVR is that the PVR has a built-in transformer (produces 110V and 100V output). Neither the PVE or the PVR have surge protection features, but they both come with overload protection. We hope this helps!

      Good day! Kindly note that the AVR regulates voltage to protect from voltage fluctuations only. We don’t recommend the use of 50Hz appliances in the Philippines (which uses 60Hz), as the mismatch in phase (50 vs 60 cycles) will cause motorized appliances to generate more heat, which stresses the motor. We hope this helps! If you have more questions, kindly email us at pantherproduct@gmail.com

      Good day! The AVR capacity requirement would be dependent on your washing machine power consumption. If your washing machine uses 400 watts on average, then you’d need a ~1500 Watts AVR. Note that using a 50 Hz equipment in the Philippines could potentially damage the appliance, as the mismatch in phase (between 50 and 60 cycles) will cause motorized appliances to generate more heat, which stresses the motor. We hope this helps!

    I am finding it hard to acquire your product in malls and going online might perhaps give me a better understanding of the specifics.

    as per machine specification:

    60 Hz

    AC 220V – 240V

    Washing Machine (Samsung)

    Q:
    1. Do I need a regulator? or a Stabilizer? Voltage fluctuation is part of our daily lives here from where I am from and its voltage more on drops than spikes.

    2. If we (Filipinos) are using 60Hz, will be adding a 3 phase (regulator?/Stabilizer?/Rectifier?) Help protect our equipment that is at 50Hz? if so, what do you suggest I purchase in relation to question 1.

    Side note:
    I am not buying another washing machine. I bought 3 in the last 2 years and reading your rule of thumb, “The more expensive the appliance, The more you’d require an AVR”.

    BTW, kudos to a service provider who is very active on their message board.

      Good day! We are sorry to hear you’re having difficulty acquiring our products in the malls. We’ll try our best to help you answer the questions posed to us, and feel free to message us directly either through Facebook (@pantherproducts) or email (pantherproduct@gmail.com) as well, so we can better support you.
      1. If voltage fluctuation is the concern, you would need an AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) to ensure that your appliance receives the “right” voltage – in your case, 220V – 240V AC.
      2. Is your equipment at 50Hz? Based on the machine specification you’ve provided (earlier in your statement), you mentioned it was at 60 Hz, 220V – 240V. Note that the Philippines power supply is at 60Hz, so if your equipment is also at 60Hz, then there is no issue on the frequency front. IF your washing machine is at 50Hz, then you would need an additional frequency converter so you can use it safely in the Philippines.

      We hope this helps!

    As per your recommendation last Jan 1, 2021, I bought the PVE 1500 relay type AVR thru online store. Unfortunately, upon received today the avr was physically damaged at the meter is not working( starting to return process). I have a question what is the PVE 1500 relay type Avr and PVE 1500 relay type with power-on delay are just the same? what is the difference? which is better.

    Thank you

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! The difference between PVE 1500 and PVE 1500D (with power on delay), is that the PVE 1500D has power on delay. The power on delay protects your appliance from voltage surge that occurs post-brownout. As such, we recommend you purchase an AVR with power on delay if you’re plugging in an appliance that will automatically turn on once power comes back into the house (e.g. refrigerator, airconditioner). For appliances like TV, no need for power on delay, as they will remain off even if power comes back after a brownout.
      For further details, you can check out this article on why you need a Power on Delay: https://panther.ph/why-you-need-a-power-on-delay

      Good day! We’d need to know your desktop computer’s power consumption details (in amps/watts) before we can provide an AVR recommendation. Kindly note that for typical desktops, a PVE 500 would suffice. However, for gaming desktops or desktops that have undergone modification, you would need to check the actual power consumption first. We can then help provide an AVR recommendation.
      You may even want to consider investing in a UPS with built-in AVR for your desktop computer. This would provide voltage regulation, as well as limited power supply during a power outage to give you enough time to save files and shut down your desktop properly.

      Good day! For your 0.6HP, 230V window type aircon – the PVE 1500 D would suffice. Please see link: https://panther.ph/product/pve-1500-d-relay-type-avr/
      Kindly note that the PVE series has an input voltage range of 180V AC – 250V AC. If the voltage fluctuation in your area is significantly below or above this range, then the PVE might have difficulty bringing it back to the 220-230V range. If so, you may want to consider the PVR series which has a bigger input voltage range.

      Good day! For high powered appliance such as this, we recommend checking with the supplier/manufacturer as well, as they would have a better idea of the appliance’s max power capacity. Rough rule of thumb would suggest that you’d need a ~3500 Watts AVR though, to take into account the startup power motor consumption. This could be lower, depending on the supplier advice.

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! Thank you for your support!
      For your question – pwede naman po. Pero clarify ko lang po the following:
      1. The Voltage Protector only provides protection for high/low voltage. Kapag lumagpas sa 250V AC or bumaba ng 160V AC, tsaka siya magtake effect. The way it protects your appliance is by preventing the power from reaching your appliance during these very high/low voltage power supply. Basically, papatayin ang appliance during this period. In the case of your refrigerator and aircon, ok lang ito. Just note na hindi siya tulad ng AVR na 24/7 voltage regulation
      For more detailed explanation, please see article: https://panther.ph/difference-between-avr-and-voltage-protector
      2. Kapag Panther Voltage Protector (PVP) po ang bibilhin ninyo, ito po ang recommend namin:
      – For the Samsung refrigerator: https://panther.ph/product/pvp-2500-panther-voltage-protector/
      – For the Carrier Window Type Aircon: https://panther.ph/product/pvp-3500-panther-voltage-protector/

Once you have the ampere rating, simply multiply that against the voltage then multiple by 3 (taking into account startup power motor consumption).

    Is it ok to leave the avr powered-on in case of brown-out/power interruption so that you will no longer have to turn it on when the electricity comes back?

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! If your AVR comes equipped with Power on Delay, then yes, you may choose to keep the AVR powered-on for convenience. This is because the Power on Delay feature protects from post-outage voltage surges by waiting ~3-5mins post-outage before it starts supplying power to your appliance.
      However, if your AVR does not have the Power on Delay feature and the equipment plugged into the AVR is sensitive, please do consider turning it off during a power interruption, just as you would unplug your sensitive equipment during this time. We hope this helps!

    Good Day. I just purchased thru Lazada a Panther AVR PVE 1000D for my Samsung Ref with Digital Inverter Technology with a capacity of 100Watts and 1.6A. I am using it now and this is what I noticed. I measured one of the 3 outlets of the AVR with the refrigerator plugged in one of the outlets. The measurement is 213 Volts (So I assume this is the voltage being fed to the refrigerator). Then I measured the voltage of the adjacent Convenience outlets of the house and the voltage reading was also 213 Volts. I assumed this is the voltage coming into the AVR.

    My question is, should not the AVR outlet voltage be 220 Volts always? Does my new Panther AVR need recalibration or returned for replacement?

    Reply
    • Panther Support

      Good day! Kindly note that the AVR you have purchased is relay-type, as such the output voltage has a +/- 7% input voltage deviation, meaning the output does depend on the input voltage and will not be 100% exactly 220V.

      For your reference, we have emailed you a technical chart for PVE which shows the relationship between input voltage and output voltage. From the chart, you can see that at the 208V, 210V, 213V input voltage, the AVR would still register those voltages. As such, your AVR is functioning as intended and there is no need for recalibration or replacement. Please check your email and kindly let us know if you still have any questions.

      Note that common appliances will still work well within the +/-7% deviation. However, for incredibly sensitive appliances such as xrays and medical devices, we recommend a Servo Motor type AVR which has a +/- 1% deviation only.

      If you’re interested in a Servo Motor type AVR, you may find our available selection here: https://panther.ph/product-category/appliance-protection/automatic-voltage-regulator/pvs-servo-motor-type/

      For a more detailed explanation of the difference between Relay Type and Servo Motor Type AVR, you may check out this article: Difference between servo-motor type AVR and relay-type AVR as discussed by the leading AVR supplier in the Philippines

      Good day! Is the 2200W power consumption max power or average power? Could you provide the indicated Ampere power consumption as well, so we can provide a more definitive answer? Alternatively, the whirlpool electric dryer supplier should know, and you can check with them as well.

    Good day! I have an inverter washing machine with an input power of 1750 watts. If i were to buy an AVR, what should be the wattage?

      Good day! Kindly check with is the PEAK power consumption of your inverter washing machine so we can provide a more accurate AVR recommendation. Alternatively, you can provide us the Ampere power consumption of your washing machine and we can help you check the PEAK power consumption. We hope this helps!

    What do you recommend for a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro (BOV900)? Will a step-down transformer suffice or is a relay-type AVR with built-in transformer necessary?

    Details:
    Type of Appliance: Countertop Oven/Toaster Oven
    Voltage: 110 – 120
    Wattage: 1800
    Amps: 15
    Hertz: 60

      Good day! It would depend on the frequency and duration of time you use the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. For example, if you only use it for ~30 minutes each time and not regularly, then a step-down transformer would suffice. However, if you use it more regularly, then you may want to invest in a relay-type AVR with built-in transformer, so there’s 24/7 protection for your air fryer pro as you use it. Bare minimum, you will need a step-down transformer.

      Recommended step-down transformer: PT 2500-110V – https://panther.ph/product/pt-2500w-110v-step-down-transformer/
      Recommended AVR with built-in step-down transformer: PVR 3001 D – https://panther.ph/product/pvr-3001-d-relay-type-avr/

      We hope this helps!

    Hi. I have an LG fridge with the ff specs:
    rated rating: 230V ~60 Hz
    rated current: 1.5 A
    defrosting input: 190W
    lamp: 3.5W
    rated input of heater sheath: 180W

    What AVR would you recommend? I was told that a servo-type is better but I don’t really understand how this works. Thank you!

    is there an avr that will do the whole house? instead of having to purchase one for every appliance?

      Good day, there are AVRs that can regulate the voltage for the entire house. However, those will have to be much bigger in capacity, and we don’t currently sell those at the moment. We hope this helps!

    Hi, lahat po ba ng AVR nyo may surge protection?
    I recently heard na lahat ng new PSU ng computers ngayon e may AVR. (I’m using LUX 750w PSU)
    So do I still need an AVR or just a surge protector for my PC?

      Good day! Upon checking the specs of LUX 750w PSU, it does not seem to have a built-in AVR: https://aerocool.io/product/lux-750w/
      To answer your question, Panther AVRs currently do not have built-in surge protection, only voltage regulation and power-on-delay feature (for the Delay models). We would recommend purchasing our extension cords with surge protection (PSP model) for additional surge protection. We hope this helps!

    Thank you. As per the AVR, what can you suggest? I heard your AVR has surge protection as well. I’m currently using Ryzen 5600 with RX 5700xt And is planning to use a 24″ monitor.

      Good day! We would need the power consumption specifications (in amps and volts) for your monitor and your Ryzen CPU, in order to provide an accurate AVR recommendation. In general though, a PVE 1001 should suffice for a standard CPU + monitor. We hope this helps!

    can i plug the AVR 1000VA to AVR 1500VA?

    Reply
    • panther admin

      Good day! What would be the purpose of plugging an AVR 1000 VA to an AVR 1500 VA? If it is because you want to plug in more appliances vs the number of outlets on the AVR, you can choose to plug appliances into an extension cord, then plug the extension cord to the 1500 Watts AVR instead. However, please do make sure the appliances you plug in does not exceed the MAX capacity of the AVR. We hope this helps!

    Good day. I am looking at getting an AVR for my computer system, which will include 2 monitors, computer, speakers, and 2 NAS drives. I just want to know if it will be ok to use an AVR with a capacity that is much higher than what the equipment that will be plugged into it requires?

      Good day! Yes, it is definitely OK to use an AVR with a capacity much higher than what the plugged-in equipment will require. You may want to consider a UPS system also for your computer, which will protect the computer from sudden power outages. Panther UPS has a built-in AVR so it provides dual protection – protection from voltage fluctuations as well as from power outages.
