The MEIJI AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR (SVC-1000W) Meiji AVRs are servo-motor
type with 4 universal outlets (3: 220V and 1:110V). It also has a power-on delay of 5-10 minutes
so as to protect the appliance for sudden surges of electricity. It is used to protect our
computers and other appliances (i.e. refrigerators, flat screen TVs) against surging and
fluctuating of electricity by maintaining the load voltage against wide variances.

This may be because the cheaper has 1000W with a power-on delay of 5-10minutes similar
the other one has 15000W and a power-on delay of 5-8 minutes. Nonetheless, the two
regulators have while functions: to protect our computers and other appliances against surging
and fluctuating of electricity by maintaining the load voltage against wide variances.
