Precision fast-PWM mains voltage correction
TSi Power’s VRp automatic precision automatic voltage regulator line conditioners provide output voltage within plus/minus 3% of nominal, for input voltage that varies between 184 to 264 vac. 
There is no switching of taps or otherwise a break in the power path thanks to continuous 
PWM (Pulsed-Width-Modulation) switching of a buck-boost transformer.

Typical VRp applications
Designed for applications that require absolutely stable, high-reliability power, without switching components in the power path.
Applications include, but are not limited to: analytical equipment, radio and TV broadcast equipment, mobile broadcast vans, industrial controllers (PLC), milking machines, lithographic equipment, recording studio equipment and electrolysis equipment.

Key benefits of the VRp series
The low-weight, high efficiency VRp is easy to install in any environment. The automatic bypass assures that connected equipment will not shut down, even if VRp fails. VRp is compatible with all loads as it does not switch any components in the power path. VRp’s ultra-low impedance assures stability even with the most demanding loads.

How the VRp series precision electronic AVR works
The high frequency IGBT driven converter takes the incoming ac power, measures against the nominal voltage and adds or subtracts voltage, 20,000 times per second, to achieve the nominal output voltage +/-3%.

The automatic bypass will be activated when there is a fault condition. Green LED indicates Normal (regulating mode operation), Yellow LED indicates Bypass (non-regulated output), and the Red LED indicates a Fault condition.


Key features of the TSi Power VRp series electronic voltage regulator
Outstanding voltage regulation: Under a normal input range of 184 to 264V (47 to 63Hz), output regulation will be 230V+/-3%.
Failsafe: no switching of power path
Fast regulation
