THREE-PHASE VOLTAGE REGULATING DEVICE FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a three-phase voltage regulating device. More particularly the present invention relates to a new and improved servo motor operated three-phase constant voltage stabilizer for uneven load and unbalanced voltage. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Imbalance of phase voltages in three phase systems has long been a problem. The voltage fluctuation is very harmful for end use equipments, which may get totally damaged or ma1 function. In production units or factories, whole production chain suffers and business losses are compounded on multiple fronts. Wfih variation in voltage, energy loss also increases. A switching regulator provides a regulated output voltage to a load from an unregulated input voltage; these are intended to be efficient for converting a power source from one form to another. A few common switching regulators used are Boost, where output voltage is greater than input voltage and Buck where output voltage is less than input voltage, regulators. Using the buck boost regulators several types of servo motor operated 3-phase constant voltage stabilizer have been developed. These arrangements make use of buck boost with dimmer, double-wound dimmerstat or are linear in construction to replace dimmerstat. Use of buck boost and dimmerpr dimmer alone, increases the on load and load losses in the stabilizer at continuous worst load conditions. There are various existing devices in the market such as a device using dimmer and buck boost assembly, wherein a carbon brush (es) moves on the periphery of dimmer. Input supply is given to dimmer. Servo motor mechanism controls the movement of carbon bush over the dimmer and based on the input voltage, current is fed to the primary winding of buck boost transformer which increased decreases the output voltage to desired limit. Further.for 3-phase supply, three such devices are used. This type of device uses more copper, core and other material. Its efficiency is also low due to more no load and load losses. Another kind of devices has double wound dimmer, a dimmer has double layer winding. On outer winding, carbon brush moves in similar way as in device disclosed above. In this design PATENTISELHI 29-07-20P6 17: 0 2 also losses are more and it has capacity limitation due to low heat dissipation of inner winding layer. One another device used is a linear type device, where 3 limb cores are used for 3-phase supply. Each limb has two1 multi-layer windings which are attached with buck boast. Two sets of carbon brushes are used for each winding. One carbon b~sihs u sed for low input voltage and other is used for high input voltage. Such devices are suitable only for balanced voltage on all phases. They use more material and have high no load losses. These days emphasis is being given to high efficiency electrical equipment at an affordable cost. Presently, the type of stabilizers available in the market, are either not very efficient or are unable to properly handle unbalanced load conditions. They are bulky, use more material and thus are costly to install and maintain.
