This is a simple example of a regulated DC power supply. You will see an application of one of the basic switching elements (diode) studied in the course. Employing a basic regulator integrated circuit (IC), the output voltage is kept constant at value of 15 DC, 1 regardless of loading conditions and input voltage variations. Equipments: Table 1.

General Information: Power is distributed to consumers through C distribution lines. lmost all electronic equipment like computers, T, hifi equipment and instruments are powered by DC power sources, either by batteries or DC power supplies obtained from an C source. Most electronic equipment requires not only DC voltage but voltage that is also filtered and well regulated. Regulated CtoDC converters have a wide range of use as power supplies in many industrial and consumer applications.

power supply converting C line voltage to DC power is expected to perform the following functions at high efficiency with a very low cost: oltage Transformation: Reduce the incoming C utility voltage to lower C voltage values. Rectification: Converting the reduced C line voltage to pulsating DC voltage. Filter: Smooth the ripple of the rectified voltage. Regulation: Control of the output voltage to a constant value regardless of variations in C line, load and temperature changes. Isolation: Electrical separation (isolation) of output voltage from the input source. Protection: Prevent damaging voltage surges from reaching the output; provide safe shut down during a brownout or high load. n ideal power supply would be characterized by supplying a smooth and constant output voltage regardless of variations in line voltage, load current or ambient temperature at 1% conversion efficiency. There are two types of CDC converters; Linear Converters and SwitchMode Converters. In this experiment, groups will perform a singlephase fullwave rectifier with a linear regulator. Figure 1 shows a typical schematic for this circuit. transformer, a bridge rectifier, low and high frequency filters, a Blue LED, and a linear regulator are depicted. The transformer reduces the input C line voltage to the desired lower voltage level. Diodes D 1 to D 4 form a bridge rectifier where this circuit topology is called an uncontrolled rectifier. Diodes D 1 and D 4 work together to rectify the positive half cycle of the sinusoidal waveform while diodes D 2 and D 3 rectify the negative half cycles. Capacitor C f filters the 1 Hz ripple component of the rectified voltage. Even though the voltage has been rectified and regulated, there may be some high frequency spikes on the DC output. high frequency ceramic or mica capacitor may be connected in parallel with C f in order to filter these high frequency spikes (harmonics). The linear voltage regulator behaves as a variable resistance between the regulator C 1 C 2 C dc f R led LED 78XX out Feb 21, 211 e1r.eps 72 88 735 1 735 95 P dc P out Figure 1. SinglePhase FullWave Rectifier with Linear Regulator input and the output as it provides the precise and well regulated output voltage. One of the limitations to the efficiency of this circuit is due to the fact that the linear device must drop the difference in voltage between the input and output. While these supplies have many desirable characteristic, such as simplicity, low output ripple, excellent line and load EE432 Industrial Electronics, Fall 211 Experiment 1, page 2/7 Last updated October 1, 211 7:1 M by D.

regulation, fast response time to load or line changes and EMI, they suffer from low efficiency. Blue Light Emitting Diode (LED) at the output of bridge rectifier is used as an indicator. Resistor R led is used to limit the current going through the LED which is typically 2m. You should calculate the value of this resistor considering the output voltage of the bridge rectifier and forward voltage drop of LED. Procedure of Experiment: Before coming to the laboratory students are advised to make a small research about singlephase fullwave rectifiers with linear regulators as a preliminary work. Students can find the necessary information from either text books or from data sheets of linear regulator.

Measurement of case temperature for the linear regulator This experiment gives operational characteristics of a basic CDC converter by construct a simple rectifier. Four diodes are used to rectify the incoming C line voltage. Instead of diodes, controllable solidstate switching devices such as thyristors can also be employed where the use of thyristors will give the opportunity to control the output voltage without the use of a linear regulator. This type of circuit containing controllable switches is called as a controlled rectifier and is mainly used for speed control of DC motors. The experimental analysis for such a circuit is the same as the one you have performed in this experiment. However, the triggering circuit is a bit tricky and a proper design of a feedback control circuit is necessary. You must write a full report about what you have observed and what procedures you have done to obtain these results. Compare your results with data sheets and other resources (text book or references given below) or simulation analysis.
