 🤔 HOW IT WORKS ⁉️ 

 How a stabilizer works 

A Stabilizer is a thing or device used to maintain something or a quantity steady or stable. ... For example, a stabilizer used for maintaining the voltage quantity stable in a power system is called as voltage stabilizer.

  Voltage Stabilizer is an electrical appliance which is designed to deliver a constant voltage to a load at its output terminals regardless of the changes in the input or incoming supply voltage. It protects the equipment or machine against over voltage, under voltage, and other voltage surges.

A voltage stabilizer increases the voltage at the output connected to the load when less than normal voltage is supplied by the power supply company side. This is accomplished by a transformer inside the stabilizer of a specific volt ampere rating.
