Results for tag: "Shunt Regulator"

A shunt regulator is a type of electrical regulator used to maintain a constant voltage level in an electrical system. It works by diverting excess current away from the main circuit, allowing the voltage to remain constant. This type of regulator is commonly used in electricity distribution systems, where it helps to ensure that the voltage remains within a safe range. It is also used in industrial applications, such as in the control of motors and other electrical equipment. Shunt regulators are typically used in conjunction with other types of voltage regulators, such as series regulators, to provide a more comprehensive voltage regulation system. This type of regulator is also used in renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind power, to ensure that the voltage remains within a safe range. The shunt regulator market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a range of products. Some of the major players in the market include ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Eaton, and General Electric. Show Less Read more
