Linear Power Supply 13.8V 20A


Linear Power Supply 13.8V 20A

This linear power supplycircuit has a transformer that steps down the line voltage to some voltage that is higher than what will be required at the regulated output. Then a rectifier and a filter capacitor transform the low voltage AC into a moderately filtered DC that still is unregulated and has some ripple. Finally, a regulating circuit "burns off" the excess voltage, leaving only the exact amount desired at the output, typically 13.8V for communication equipment.
