Starting from a classical linear regulation, we will present the evolution towards a simple switching version. This will allow us to analyze the operation without going through the classical theoretical developments. In other words, a “practical” view of things. You can use the proposed design to significantly increase the backup time and efficiency of a […]

600 V DC Voltage Regulator Circuit Module
The main technical function of the proposed voltage regulator is voltage stabilization. It is capable of stabilizing an input voltage ranging from 0 to 600 Vdc to an output voltage ranging from 100 to 560 Vdc, with a maximum current of 800 mAdc and maximum power dissipation of 100 W. The unit also exhibits good […]
SCR Voltage Regulator Circuit
In this article I have explained how to build a highly efficient voltage regulator circuit using an SCR and some other external components. This SCR voltage regulator circuit being a switching kind of regulator is more efficient than the normal 3 pin voltage regulators, or the transistor zener based series pass regulators circuits. How the […]
