8 POWER SUPPLY
This is a device used to convert a alternating currents to lower direct for specific value.
Direct current- direct currents
Are used to change D.C voltage levels and are usually required. They are important where electronic
equipment must be operated from a battery or other D.C source
Alternating current to direct current
In this power supply the system is divided into four different sections. They are transformers, rectifiers
filters and regulators
Regulation of power supply
regulation is very important process in power supply.
Type of regulation
i. Voltage regulations
ii. services regulations
Voltage regulation- it is the change in D.C output from no load load to fill load with respect to fill load
Voltage of power supply. It is then its Voltage regulations
It is express in percentage form
Zoner diode Voltage regulator
With a zoner, We are able to established simple voltage regulator which hold the load current. Negative
feedback can also constant regardless of relatively large charges in the voltage and load current.
Cold cathode gas diodes can be used as voltage regulators in general voltage regulator. e.g voltage up
to 50v.
High voltage regulators- they are used for voltage above 50v
Unregulated D.C supply is given at input of a Zoner diode so long as then input D.C supply voltage
V1 is more than zoner diode breakdown voltage V2( V2> Vn) the diode operates in the breakdown
region and maintains a constant voltage V2 across the load
The voltage drop across R will increase but the voltage across the load will remain constant.
Similarinput increase more currents flow through the diode.
Zoner regulator has small efficiency and small variation in output voltage across load due to zoner
impedance power due to IR occurs in the series resister R
