( TITLE : Automatic 5V regulator )
Objectives:
A voltage regulator is a component of the power supply unit that ensures a steady
constant voltage supply through all operational conditions. It regulates voltage during power
fluctuations and variations in loads. In an electric power distribution system, voltage regulators may be
installed at a substation or along distribution lines so that all customers receive steady voltage
independent of how much power is drawn from the line.
Components Required:
• 230V-12V Step Down Transformer.
• Bridge Rectifier (or 4 PN Diodes – 1N4007).
• 1A Fuse.
• 1000μF Capacitor.
• 7805 Voltage Regulator IC.
• 0.22μF Capacitor.
• 0.1μF Capacitor.
• 1N4007 Diode.
Introduction:
Automatic voltage regulation is a process of converting the alternating voltage into a steady voltage.
An automatic voltage regulator is an electronic equipment that is used and designed to maintain the
constant voltage level. This device prevent malfunctioning and damaging of the electrical equipment.
Automatic voltage regulator uses electromechanical and electronic components of various types and
designs. One of the important sources of DC Supply are Batteries. But using batteries in sensitive
electronic circuits is not a good idea as batteries eventually drain out and lose their potential over time.
Also, the voltage provided by batteries are typically 1.2V, 3.7V, 9V and 12V. This is good for circuits
whose voltage requirements are in that range. But, most of the TTL IC’s work on 5V logic and hence
we need a mechanism to provide a consistent 5V Supply.

How it working:
Initially, a 230V to 12V Step down transformer is taken and its primary is
connected tomains supply. The secondary of the transformer is connected to Bridge rectifier
(either a dedicated IC or a combination of 4 1N4007 Diodes can be used). A 1A fuse is
placed between the transformer and the bridge rectifier. This will limit the current drawn by
the circuit to 1A. The rectified DC from the bridge rectifier is smoothened out with the help
of Capacitor.So, the output across the 1 Capacitor is unregulated 12V DC. This is given as an
input to the 7805 Voltage Regulator IC. 7805 IC then converts this to a regulated 5V DC and
the output can be obtained at its output terminals.
