Experiment 

: Power Supply 
Object : To Study the characteristics of regulated DC Power supply.
Apparatus used: Variable AC source, Transformer, four diode, two capacitor, one inductor, one
resistance, one transistor, dc voltmeter, mili-ammeter, variable resistor.
Theory and circuit diagram:
A dc power supply is an electronic circuit which generates dc voltage using ac as input. If out put
of dc power supply remains unaltered under the variation of load current or input ac then it is called as
regulated power supply. It has following components.
1. Step Down Transformer: It converts high ac voltage to low ac voltage.
2. Bridge Rectifier: It converts ac input voltage to dc voltage.
3. Filter Circuit: It reduces ripples which is present in output of rectifier.
4. Regulator Circuit: It regulates the output voltage of filter to be independent of variation in load
current and input voltage.

Graph 2: output DC voltage verses load current at different input AC voltage

RESULT:
1. Graph 1 shows that the output of given power supply is regulated for input AC voltage range
140-220 volts.
2. Graph 2 shows that the output of given power supply is regulated for different range of load
current at different AC input voltage.
3. Graph 2 also indicates that the output of given power supply is regulated for full range of
load current at 220 AC input voltage.
Thus the output of a power supply is function input AC voltage and load current.

Precaution:
1. Connections should be jointed correctly.
2. Connections must be tight.
