Factors responsible for variations in unregulated power supply output.
- Estimated study time: 45 minutes
Study resources
- Rectifier - Filtering section (Wikipedia) (Article) — Discusses the ripple left in a rectifier's raw output and how inductor (L), capacitor (C), and combined L-C (pi) filters are added afterwards to smooth it into usable DC.
- Power supply (Wikipedia) (Article) — General reference on power supplies, including the transformer-rectifier-filter-regulator chain and the difference between an unregulated supply (whose output sags with load) and a regulated one.
- Regulated vs unregulated supply, stabilization, series/shunt regulators (Article) — Useful for basic regulator theory and circuits.
- Regulated vs Unregulated Power Supply (Article) — Explains how input voltage fluctuations and load changes affect the output of an unregulated power supply.
