Features of Regulated Power Supply

Following are the main features of the regulated power supply −

  • The regulated power supplies have the efficiency ranging from 20% to 25%.
  • Regulated power supplies are relatively more reliable.
  • Regulated power supplies have less complex circuit and less weight.
  • Regulated power supplies give faster response.
  • The cost and noise level of the regulated power supplies is low.

Alternating Current

  What Is Alternating Current? An  alternating current  can be defined as a current that changes its magnitude and polarity at regular intervals of time. It can also be defined as an electrical current that repeatedly changes or reverses its direction opposite to that of Direct Current or DC, which always flows in a single direction as shown below From the graph, we can see that the charged particles in AC tend to start moving from zero. It increases to a maximum and then decreases back to zero completing one positive cycle. The particles then reverse their direction and reach the maximum in the opposite direction after which AC again returns to the original value completing a negative cycle. The same cycle is repeated again and again. Alternating currents are also accompanied usually by alternating voltages. Besides, alternating current is also easily transformed from a higher voltage level to a lower voltage level.

SOLAR TRANSFORMERS

  The transformers required for wind power and solar DPV require special design features to meet the challenging operating conditions. The industry today has developed different types of transformers for the application. The last few decades have seen very rapid development of renewable energy, especially, distributed photovoltaic (DPV) and wind power. It is estimated that at least 40 per cent of electricity generation by year 2040 would be from renewable energy sources and this would give appreciable reduction of the present level of carbon dioxide emissions of about 10 billion tons per year. The transformer industry is rising to this challenge and has developed special transformers for the DPV generation and wind generation. Transformers are critical components in solar energy production and distribution. Historically, transformers have ‘stepped-up’ or ‘stepped-down’ energy from non-renewable sources. There are different types of solar transformers including distribution, station, su

Difference Between AC And DC Motor

  Difference Between AC And DC Motor The difference between AC and DC Motor are discussed below: AC Motor vs DC Motor AC Motor DC Motor AC motor runs on alternating current. DC motors operate on direct current. There is no need for conversion of current in AC motors. Like AC. There is no need for conversion of current in AC motors. Like AC. AC motors are used where power performance is demanded for extended periods of time. DC motors are used where the speed of the motor needs to be controlled externally. AC motors can be single-phase or three-phase. All DC motors are single phase. In an AC motor the armature does not rotate while the magnetic field keeps rotating continuously. In a DC motor, the armature rotates while the magnetic field rotates. Repairing AC motors is not expensive. DC motors are very expensive to repair. Brushes are not used in AC motor. Brushes are used in DC motor. AC motors have a very long life span DC motors do not have a very long life span. The speed of AC mot
