Talk:Ferroresonance in electricity networks

I don't have the engineering background to address this, but the article only addresses ferroresonance from a power distribution perspective, where it is an unwanted effect. The article completly fails to address the fact that the ferroresonance phenomenen is well known to be easily controlled and intentionally used in applications such as battery chargers where the ferroresonant characteristics help stabilize the output voltage and improve the charging characteristics. For example, almost all golf car chargers as well as most other line connected motive power battery chargers utilize this technique, except for the latest generation of chargers for sealed motive power batteries, which tend to be varistor controlled.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.2.112.116 (talkcontribs) 18:14, 15 August 2008

Split[edit]

The article seems to be talking about a stabilizing ferroresonance effect and a destablizing effect. If these are two manifestations of the same phenomenon, we need to tie them together. If not, we need to split this into two articles. --Kvng (talk) 15:14, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From its title the article is clearly meant to be about the destructive effect, so I merged the other section with some existing text at voltage regulator. --Heron (talk) 18:59, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
