Regulated DC Power Supply Question & Answers

June 5, 2021 By WatElectronics

This article lists 80+ Regulated DC Power Supply MCQs for engineering students. All the Regulated DC Power Supply Questions & Answers given below includes solution and link wherever possible to the relevant topic.

A regulated power supply is an embedded circuit that converts unregulated AC voltage or current to a constant DC. A regulated power supply is also called a linear power supply. A step-down transformer, rectifier, DC filter, regulator are the basic building blocks of regulated DC power supply.

The blocks that regulated the DC power supply consist of filter and rectifier circuit, transformer, and voltage regulator circuit. The fixed voltage regulators have three terminals they are input, output, and ground terminals. Both fixed and adjustable voltage regulators are three-terminal fixed voltage regulators.

The IC voltage regulator, Zener diode, SMPS, and transistorized series are the commonly used type of voltage regulators. The advantages of linear power supplies are they have low noise levels, they are reliable and simple, and the cost is low.

The linear regulated power supply and switching mode power supply are the categories of power supplies. The efficiency of unregulated power supplies is 90-95% and the ripple (RMS) is between 0.5V to 5V. The regulated power supply is used in DC motors, relays, and actuators. The unregulated power supply is used in television, computers, and mobile chargers.
