Sollatek AVRs Selected For US Embassy In Nigeria To Address Power Challenges

The United States has a strong presence in Africa, with the second-highest number of embassies across the continent. Among them, the U.S. Embassy in Abuja stands out as one of the largest diplomatic missions in Africa. In 2019, as part of a facilities upgrade, the embassy decided to address Nigeria’s power challenges by installing Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) from Sollatek throughout the buildings on their compound.

Utility companies across Africa do provide power; however, it is often unreliable and frequently falls outside acceptable tolerances, making it insufficient for reliable operation and pose a significant challenge for users. For most modern industrialised economies, it is standard for power utilities to deliver a stable mains voltage, typically around 220V or 230V in Europe, with a tolerance of -10% to +6% (as per EN 50160). This level of stability is crucial for the proper functioning of modern electrical and electronic equipment. Consequently, a stabiliser that maintains an output within 3% or 4% of the nominal voltage exceeds even the strictest international standards.
