Transformers Sectional Committee, ETD 16

FOREWORD

This Tndian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Transformers Sectional Committee, had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council.
The servo-motor operated automatic line voltage correctors are commonly known as servo-stabilizers.
These are used for electrical and electronic equipment where the type of load needs substantially
constant voltage within close tolerances.
Standard on servo-motor operated lint voltage corrector was,first published in 1981 and was revised in
1989. Second revision of this standard has been undertaken to publish it in two parts to cover require-
ments of single-phase and three-phase applications Lpsrately. This part of the standard covers
requirements of single-phase applications. Separate standard is under preparation to cover the rcquire-
ments of three-phase applicatiotis.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of signifi-
cant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
