The main difference between an AC voltage stabilizer and an AC voltage regulator lies in their purpose. Voltage stabilizers keep the output voltage fixed within a narrow range, even when the input voltage fluctuates. For example, if the input varies by ±10% around 220 V, the stabilizer can maintain a steady output of about 220 V ±2%, ideal for equipment that requires precise and stable voltage, such as CNC machines or medical devices. A voltage regulator, on the other hand, gives more flexibility. The output voltage can be set anywhere between 0 V and 380 V, either manually or automatically, which is useful for testing or calibration work that requires variable power such as in laboratories, testing setups, or equipment calibration areas.
