I bought a 45 KVA static stabilizer and a LiPO4 inverter from NKB Technocrats and I believe these two were/are one of the best decisions I ever made.
Just to give you some context, I have a recently constructed my property, and though we don’t have drastic fluctuations in the place that we live in, I have had instances where a lot of my expensive equipment got fried thanks to the electricity department. My initial decision was to purchase a servo stabilizer system but after learning more about static stabilizers, I am happy I went with it.
I have space constraints and a static stabilizer is light years ahead when it comes to space saving. On the technical front, it has so far handled 209 to 230 and 257 to 230 voltage correction. All my ACs are inverter PCB based besides other office equipment so I did not want to risk not having a stabilizer.
Now on the inverter side, I was looking at Exide, Luminous primarily with the usual setup, and then I began reading about Lithium Iron Phosphate based systems. I did make a calculated bet on it, but I must say I am blown away by the efficiency of this inverter system.
I am from the IT field and everyone told me that I “may” need a dedicated UPS for my server rack (tiny server rack at my home) as inverters usually are not meant to handle tiny blips in computers and servers when lights go on an off. Once the inverter and stabilizer systems went live, the inverter has been tested on multiple power cuts, and it just doesn’t fail. I have been on critical meetings, but no blip, no internet losses, my server systems and video calls just keep going. It is way smaller than an equivalent Exide / Luminous traditional setup. I haven’t stress tested it yet, so don’t think of this as a detailed review - but now I don’t need yet another UPS for my machines which is a BIG plus for me.
After Sales:
Mr. Manan supported us on every step of the way during installation. The packaging was perfect, no dents, damages or issues in transport. My electrical contractors went on multiple calls with him just to double check, triple check wiring. My electricians could not believe a 45KVA system could be so small, as they are used to servo systems. Funny side story - they clicked pictures of the system after installation. 🙂
It has been about 2 months since the installation, and the systems are going strong. I have spoken with Mr. Manan multiple times post installation on questions I had as a lay person in this domain and he has patiently helped respond to these as well.
Overall Experience:
The entire experience was smooth, with Mr. Manan patiently answering all my questions, concerns and technically guiding me in things which weren’t necessarily related to the stabilizer. I had multiple quotations from different vendors including those in my city, but I finally went with NKB Technocrats based on the following factors:
- Technically very sound, many of the other vendors were unable to answer what I thought were basic questions
- Very patient in answering questions, they are not just out to make a sale
- They don't push you around and listen to the actual problem you are facing and then give solutions
- The electronic chipsets used (I had specific questions about what chipset was being used - in all honesty I did not know about this but my architect had guided me what to look out for)
So, yes, while NKB Technocrats is one of the more expensive systems, and I did take a leap of faith going with them vs vendors who were in my city or a lot closer to my city, so far I have no problems. After building a brand new property I did not want to take any chances and these guys have supported me all the way.
I would gladly recommend them if you are dealing with sensitive equipment and want to increase the overall power condition at your home/office.
And thanks Manan and team for making such high end systems!
