Задача обеспечения стабильного питания далеко не всегда сводится к покупке ИБП с возможностью автономного питания нагрузки в условиях отсутствия сетевого напряжения. Особенно в домашних условиях, и особенно теперь, когда многие пользуются ноутбуками и другими мобильными устройствами, способными вполне сносно переносить даже длительное отключение внешнего питания. Другое дело, что само по себе качество сетевого питания вдалеке от больших городов России зачастую все еще оставляет желать лучшего. Заниженное, а иногда и завышенное напряжение может быть объективным фактором, с которым приходится мириться. Автоматические трансформаторы используются для коррекции этого недостатка вашей среды обитания. В данном обзоре мы рассмотрим такой продукт компании APC.

APC Line-R 600VA |
Комплект поставки:
- инструкция по эксплуатации на русском языке
- гарантийный талон
Гарантийный срок эксплуатации: 2 года
Внешний вид
Устройство весьма компактно, не занимает даже половины объема традиционного ИБП «башенного дизайна», весит также в 2-3 раза меньше. И если не считать щелчков реле (при переключении между обмотками трансформатора), не издает никаких посторонних звуков во время работы. На лицевой стороне располагается клавиша включения и световые индикаторы, которые подскажут пользователю, какова текущая ситуация в его сети.
На задней панели имеются 3 стандартные евророзетки и переключатель уровня выходного напряжения. Пользователь имеет возможность выбирать из трех значений: 220, 230 и 240 В. Для защиты от перегрузки и короткого замыкания предусмотрен автоматический предохранитель.
Внутреннее устройство
Внутри корпуса достаточно просторно: нижнюю часть занимает плата, над ней установлен главный компонент стабилизатора: трансформатор с переключаемыми обмотками.
Весьма распространенная модель трансформатора, встречающаяся также в ИБП под маркой Ippon.
Переключением между ступенями AVR-регулятора занимаются механические реле, рассчитанные на максимальный ток 10-16 А, что означает солидный запас прочности.
Тестирование
Мы использовали регулируемый автотрансформатор (ЛАТР), для того чтобы определить пороги переключения и фактическое напряжение на выходах при входном напряжении в диапазоне 0—262 В. Тестирование проводилось при подключенной активной нагрузке около 100 Вт.

| <155 В | 0 В | — |
Устройство надежно отрабатывает в заявленном диапазоне напряжений. Величина нагрузки практически не сказывается на уровнях переключения, мы протестировали устройство с незначительной перегрузкой и довели потребляемую мощность до 700 Вт, при этом никакого влияния на выходные характеристики выявлено не было.
Единственная странность, отмеченная в тестах: при входном напряжении 90 В наблюдается циклическое срабатывание реле. Напряжение на выходе при этом, естественно, отсутствует. Поскольку такой режим за пределами лаборатории маловероятен, можно считать это технической особенностью устройства. В остальном же замечаний нет. Скорость переключения между ступенями стабилизации высока (в пределах 5-10 мс).
Качество выходного сигнала:
И в этом тесте замечания отсутствуют, синусоида никак не портится, меняется только ее амплитуда в зависимости от уровня напряжения.
Выводы
В случаях, когда отключения напряжения редки или пользователь не нуждается в бесперебойном питании своего оборудования, но при этом есть потребность в стабилизации напряжения, современные компактные стабилизаторы идеально подходят для решения проблемы. В отличие от своих древних прототипов, которые когда-то использовались для питания аналоговой электроники, нынешние модели бесшумны, не занимают много места и позволяют подключать достаточно большую нагрузку. (С учетом экономичности современной электроники даже к 600-ваттной модели в большинстве случаев можно подключить всю домашнюю аудио/видеотехнику.)
Рассмотренное в обзоре устройство является отличным примером качественной реализации.
Достоинства:
- качественная синусоида выходного напряжения
- соответствие (и даже превышение) заявленной максимальной мощности
- широкий диапазон входного напряжения
Недостатки:
- не обнаружено

If the indicator is off, check the rear-panel circuit breaker, and reset it if necessary. 5.3 Audible alarm The power conditioner will sound an audible alarm when it detects extreme input voltages that it cannot correct. Such high or low voltages will cause output voltages outside the conditioner’s rated regulation band. For 120 Vac models, the audible alarm sounds when the input voltage is outside the range 85–150 Vac. For 230 Vac models, the audible alarm sounds when the input voltage is outside 162–299 Vac. 7 6.0 Specifications 6.1 Input version: 120 Vac 230 Vac 50 or 60 Hz Frequency: Model 600 maximum current: 8 Amp 3.5 Amp Model 1250 maximum current: 15 Amp 7 Amp 6.2 Output Model 600 maximum capacity: 600 W or 600 VA Model 1250 maximum capacity: 1250 W or 1250 VA 6.3 Regulation Input (Vac) Output (Vac) Regulation 88 to 150 106 to 127 ANSI C84.1-B 92 to 145 111 to 123 117 Vac ±5% 182 to 287 219 to 242 230 Vac ±5% 6.4 Surge & noise suppression Surge energy capability: 320 Joules total (10/1000µs) Normal mode ±6 kV IEEE 587 Cat.

Life support policy As a general policy, American Power Conversion (APC) does not recommend the use of any of its products in life support applications where failure or malfunction of the APC product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. APC does not recommend the use of any of its products in direct patient care. APC will not knowingly sell its products for use in such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a) the risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such risks, and (c) the liability of American Power Conversion is adequately protected under the circumstances. Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes), autotransfusion devices, blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers, hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators for both adults and infants, anesthesia ventilators, and infusion pumps as well as any other devices designated as “critical” by the U.S. FDA. Hospital grade wiring devices and leakage current may be ordered as options on many APC UPS systems. APC does not claim that units with this modification are certified or listed as Hospital Grade by APC or any other organization. Therefore these units do not meet the requirements for use in direct patient care.
