The number of coil turns of the outer coil winding is designed to be more than that of the inner coil winding, so as to ensure that the output voltage can be stabilized at a lower input voltage. The minimum input voltage can reach 90V or even 50V, which greatly broadens the lower limit of the input voltage, breaks the bottleneck of the minimum input voltage of 160V of the ordinary voltage stabilizer, and realizes the low voltage voltage stabilization function. At the same time, a switching tap is added to the outer coil winding, so as to increase the upper limit of the input voltage, such as increasing the upper limit of the input voltage from 250V to 300V, so as to ensure the stability of the output voltage during the step-down output. The function of the shutdown reset circuit is to make the carbon brush assembly stay on the outer coil winding close to the farthest coil after shutdown, so as to ensure that the input resistance of the voltage stabilizer is at the maximum value when the power is turned on, so as to reduce the startup inrush current and reduce the impact on the voltage stabilizer when the power is turned on.
