Theory:- A voltage regulator is a system designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level
independent of load current ,temperature & AC line variations.
Types of regulation
Load regulation :-Load regulation is the capability to maintain a constant voltage (or current) level
on the output channel of a power supply despite changes in the supply's load.

Load regulation of a constant-voltage source is defined by the equation:

Where:

Vmax-load the voltage at maximum load. The maximum load is the one that draws the greatest current,
i.e. the lowest specified load resistance (never short circuit);
Vmin-load is the voltage at minimum load. The minimum load is the one that draws the least current, i.e.
the highest specified load resistance (possibly open circuit for some types of linear supplies, usually
limited by pass transistor minimum bias levels);
Vnom-loadis the voltage at the typical specified load.
For a constant-current supply, the above equation uses currents instead of voltages, and the maximum
and minimum load values are when the largest and smallest specified voltage across the load are
produced. For switching power supplies, the primary source of regulation error is switching ripple,
rather than control loop precision. In such cases, load regulation is defined without normalizing to
voltage at nominal load and has the unit of volts, not a percentage.

Line regulation:- is the ability to maintain a constant output voltage level on the output channel of
apower supply despite changes to the input voltage level. Line Regulation is the change in output
voltage due to variation of the input voltage with all other factors held constant. It is expressed as a
percent of the nominal output voltage. A power supply with tight line regulation delivers optimum
voltages throughout the operating range.
Line regulation is the ability to maintain a constant output voltage level on the output channel of a
power supply despite changes to the input voltage level.

It is often desirable for a power supply to maintain a stable output regardless of changes in the input
voltage, load or connected device. The line regulation is important when the input voltage source is
unstable or unregulated and this would result in significant variations in the output voltage. And this
might suffer from large voltage swings as it follows the input. While most DC power supplies convert
AC from the mains to the DC output voltage required, there are some DC power supplies that rely on
other auxiliary power sources to provide additional power for the power supply to achieve the required
output. The line regulation is usually specified for power supplies that use the auxiliary power and
may not be specified for the standard supplies that rely solely on the single mains supply source.

2] Vary input voltage between 0 to 15v keeping load constant and observe & note down output
voltage for line regulation.
3] Keeping input voltage constant at 5v vary load current by varying 10k potentiometer &
observe & note down output voltage for load regulation.
