Definition

1. Noun (Electrical Engineering):
   • Voltage stabilizer: A device designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level for electrical equipment, protecting it from damage due to overvoltage or under-voltage conditions from the power supply.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • Tôi cần mua một cái ổn áp mới cho máy tính. (I need to buy a new voltage stabilizer for my computer.)
  • Ổn áp này giữ cho điện áp luôn ở 220V. (This stabilizer keeps the voltage constant at 220V.)
  • Nhà tôi lắp ổn áp để bảo vệ các thiết bị điện. (My house has a voltage stabilizer installed to protect the electrical appliances.)

Advanced Usage

• The term is specific to electrical and electronic contexts. In technical specifications, it may be referred to by its function, e.g., "automatic voltage regulator (AVR)."

Variants and Related Words
