Watford Control Instruments

General information

World status is all too easy to claim but Watford Control can offer solid proof. Established in 1947 with the aim of tackling the post-war mains supply problems of the period, which became even more acute with the introduction of sophisticated mains powered equipment. Ever since then Watford Control has specialised in AC Voltage Stabilisation and Power Conditioning, solving mains supply problems Worldwide.

All mains powered equipment requires a supply, which is maintained within certain limits; a low supply voltage causes malfunction, whilst a high supply voltage will cause serious damage. Microprocessor based systems and other sensitive equipment requires not only a stable voltage but also a supply free of transient spikes and electrical noise. In many developing economies, power demand is outstripping supply capacity giving rise to large voltage swings, surges and brownouts in the national supply.

To meet the growing needs Watford Control engineers and management have constantly advanced the performance of our AC Voltage Stabilisers and Power Conditioners keeping abreast of the latest developments in control voltage technology. Through all these years the company has continued to lead the way with faster response, smoother surge-free operation and complete reliability. We developed all the design features built into today’s products, many originally covered by patents unique to Watford Control.

These include the EM / EMS turbo range, BE solid-state stabilisers and the Powersaver range of Voltage Optimisers.
