There was a time when we were not too keen about installing a voltage stabilizer in our households or offices. Just like there was a time when if a household had a washing, AC, and a microwave, it would be termed uber-rich.
But these are not those kinds of times and appliances that were once the signifiers of the rich have become an indispensable part of modern life.
With the inclusion of multiple appliances and gadgets into our lives it also became crucial to safeguard them. Hence stabilizers were introduced into our lives; an appliance that protects your house and its appliances from power fluctuations.
With it also came Daikcell, a pinnacle of performance and customer satisfaction when it comes to their range of stellar stabilizers.
But were you aware that all stabilizers, including Daikcell, require power to run? They are not self-sufficient appliances that can operate on their own once connected to the power lines.
So the question stands, how exactly does a Daikcell stabilizer work and how many units of electricity can it consume per month?
Let us find out in this blog.
How Does a Daikcell Stabilizer Work?
Any stabilizer like Daikcell uses transformers and electronic circuits to detect voltage fluctuations and then automatically regulate the output.
This means when the input voltage is, which could be insufficient for some appliance to perform optimally, a stabilizer will boost the power to match the output to help the appliance.
Likewise, which the input voltage is, which could potentially damage a connected appliance, the stabilizer will adjust the power level and reduce the output to protect your appliances.
A Daikcell stabilizer constantly scales and regulates power, and this process requires the stabilizer to consume electricity itself to keep performing optimally.
Although insignificant compared to other appliances it still contributes to your overall electricity consumption.
Understanding Electricity Consumption
To calculate the number of units a Daikcell stabilizer consumes in a month let us first simplify and understand what a unit of electricity means. One unit (Kilowatt/hour) is the amount of energy that is consumed when an appliance of 1000 watts operates for an hour.
The power consumption of a Daikcell stabilizer usually ranges between 2 to 15 watts per hour depending on the size, capacity, and the type of appliance it supports. To break it down into a simple example:
Let us assume that you have a 5 KVA Daikcell Mainline Stabilizer. This means it typically consumes 10 to 12 watts.
So assuming the stabilizer runs for 24 hours a day and takes 10 watts as the energy consumption, it then consumes: 10 watts x 24 hours = 240 watts/hour (0.24 kWh) per hour.
Over the course of a month with 30 days it then becomes: 0.24 kWh x 30 days = 7.2 kWh or 7.2 units per month.
Based on this calculation it is easy to figure out that any Daikcell stabilizer consumes only a very small number of units per month for an average household.
Daikcell Energy Consumption Ranges
Based on the above section we have already established that Daickell stabilizers are easy on your electricity bill. And any other stabilizer that is as good in performance and its commitment towards it customers as Daikcell is will be the same.
So are all Daikcell stabilizers the same? Do they all consume the same amount of energy?
No, they do not. Based on their KVA, it is generally easy to tell that when a stabilizer’s capacity increases and it is made to safeguard heavier appliances, the energy required to operate it also increases.
Daikcell stabilizers have 2 types of levels of energy consumption:
- If your Mainline or Multipurpose stabilizer is up to 5 KVA, it consumes 10 to 12 Watts of electricity.
- If your stabilizer is over 5 KVA then it consumes 15 watts of electricity.
Either way, there is no chance that your Daikcell stabilizer for ac will consume more than 10 to 12 units of energy in an entire month, assuming it runs for 24 hours a day. Which is pretty insignificant compared to what an AC would consume within just a few hours of being in operation.
Cost Implications
Now you know that there is no chance a Daikcell stabilizer would burn a hole into your pocket let us give you a small overview of how much a stabilizer that consumes power for 24 hours a day over 30 days a month will actually cost you.
Assuming that the average cost of one unit of electricity is ₹6/unit and drawing in the example from before if your Daikcell stabilizer consumes 7.2 units in a month, you are more likely to end up paying not more than ₹80 for any Daikcell stabilizer.
Whether it is below 5 KVA which will cost you somewhere around ₹60 or one that is over 5 KVA which cost you somewhere around ₹70 at the max.
To conclude, a Daickell stabilizer consumes a meager number of units per month and it is almost insignificant if you take into consideration the work that it does for you by protecting your household and your precious appliances from ugly and potentially harmful voltage fluctuations.
