Voltage Relay

Most Common

A relay that turns on when a certain voltage in an AC circuit is reached. There are two basic ways that voltage relays work: detecting too much voltage and too little voltage. Voltage relays are used to find sudden jumps in voltage caused by a broken generator or low voltages caused by power outages or short circuits, among other things. It can also happen when any power tool is being charged.

Voltage Regulator

A circuit which is connected between the power source and a load, which provides a constant voltage despite variations in input voltage or output load. Voltage regulators control the output voltage, eliminating voltage sags and swells in the input voltage that last from 15 milliseconds to one-half second. They are typically relatively inexpensive feedback controlled transformers and the more expensive ferroresonant transformer.
