Constant DC voltage is required from a variable AC voltage. Which of the following is correct order of operation?
Options
- ARegulator, filter, rectifien
- BRectifier, regulator, filter
- CRectifier, filter, regulator
- DFilter, regulator, rectifien
Correct answer
C. Rectifier, filter, regulator
Step-by-step solution
In order of obtain a constant dc voltage from a variable acsource following operations should be performed:1. Rectifier: it converts full ac signal to pulsating dc signal. 2. Filter: The pulsating dc signal is converted to pure dc signal. 3. Regulator: It provides stable dc voltage independent to the load current and ac source voltage variations.
