Working of Voltage Regulation
The Voltage regulation can be achieved through various techniques including the use of voltage regulators and electronic control circuits.
Here’s a simplified overview of working principle of a voltage regulator:
- Sensing: The regulator continuously monitors the output voltage and compares it to reference voltage.
- Error Amplification: Any deviation between the reference voltage and actual output voltage is amplified to generate an error signal.
- Control Element: The error signal is used to control a variable element within regulator such as a transistor or a switch.
- Adjustment: The control element adjusts the output voltage by the varying its resistance or switching state bringing the output voltage back to desired level.
Voltage Regulation
Voltage regulation refers to the ability of the power supply typically a voltage regulator or transformer to maintain a steady and stable output voltage despite variations in input voltage or other factors. It ensures that the output voltage remains within the specified limits to power electronic devices reliably. In this article, we are going to discuss the definition of Voltage regulation, its formulas, effects, different types with variety, working, applications, properties and characteristics.
