The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is a device designed to regulate voltage automatically – that is, to take a fluctuating voltage level and turn it into a constant voltage level. There are many types of automatic voltage regulators.
Automatic voltage regulators not only vary in size and design, but also in name and description. Common names for AVRs include:
No matter where in the world your semiconductor, pharmaceutical or other power-critical manufacturing facility is located, you are exposed to voltage sags. Likely more than 10 sags a month!

Automatic voltage regulators not only vary in size and design, but also in name and description. Common names for AVRs include:
In the sections describing the different types of voltage regulators, common names for each type will be identified and used interchangeably along with generic names, such as AVR and automatic voltage regulator. Please note that the descriptions, operational explanations and other commentary provided about the different types of AVRs is for informational purposes only and is intended to provide an overview of variations among a class of products generically called “automatic voltage regulators.”

This short video explains why modern electronic voltage regulators, like the UST MiniEVR™, should be specified instead of ferroresonant transformers in cases where the load is 2kVA or larger.
