How to choose a voltage regulator for a 1.3 kW water pump?

This question was asked by Peter. Read the text of the question a little below.

This is the 15th part of a series of publications - "Electrician Q&A". Who missed the past parts - as always, I remind you that in this and past publications (parts) I bring real questions from readers and my answers to them. I continue to do so in this part.

The text of the question itself is quite simple and straightforward:

Hello. How to choose a voltage regulator for a 1.3 kW water pump?

I gave Peter the following answer because of my knowledge and qualifications:

To choose the most suitable type of voltage stabilizer in your case, I recommend starting from the basic operating parameters.

To do this, consider the most important criteria:

• Voltage stabilizer power - a lack of power will lead to the inability of the device when connecting too much load, and its excessive excess will lead to unreasonable costs. Therefore, you must decide - only the pump will be connected to the stabilizer, then 2 kW of power will be enough. If you plan to power the whole house or a group of household appliances from it, then the power of the voltage stabilizer is selected according to their total load.

• Stabilization rangeand - defines the minimum and maximum voltage limits within which the voltage regulator can supply the required 230 V to power the load. Therefore, you must first figure out to what limit the voltage in the home circuit goes down or above what it rises. Both of these parameters must be within the stabilization range.
• Stabilization type - to choose from the options on the market, it is also worth referring to the voltage parameters in the home circuit. If there are no significant surges, the decrease or increase in voltage occurs smoothly, then you can purchase cheaper models of step stabilizers, for example, electronic. If your area is characterized by switching transients, a significant voltage drop, then it is better to take a stepless voltage regulator with double transformation.
