POWER SUPPLY
A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The
main purpose of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct
voltage, current, and frequency to power the load.
SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM AND PCB BOARD
MATERIAL USED WITH DEFINITIONS

RESISTOR- is a passive electrical component that creates


resistance in the flow of electric current. In almost all electrical
networks and electronic circuits they can be found. The resistance is
measured in ohms (Ω).

CAPACITOR- is a two-terminal electrical device that can store


energy in the form of an electric charge. It consists of two electrical
conductors that are separated by a distance. The space between the
conductors may be filled by vacuum or with an insulating material
known as a dielectric.

LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED) - is a


semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current
passes through it. This phenomenon is known as
electroluminescence, where electrons recombine with holes in
the semiconductor material, releasing energy in the form of
photons.
Electrical wire- is a flexible metallic conductor, typically made of
copper that is used to carry electric current in a circuit. It is usually
insulated to prevent electrical shock and short circuits.

FUSE- is an electrical safety device that protects circuits from


excessive current by melting a metal wire or strip within it when the
current exceeds a specified level. This interruption stops the flow of
electricity, preventing potential damage or fire hazards. Fuses are
sacrificial devices, meaning they must be replaced after they blow.

REGULATOR- is a device or mechanism that controls the


level or amount of something within a system, such as
pressure, temperature, or speed. It ensures that these
parameters remain stable and within predetermined limits,
which is essential for the safe and efficient operation of
various equipment and processes.
RECTIFIER- is an electrical device that converts alternating
current (AC) into direct current (DC), allowing current to flow in
only one direction. This process, known as rectification, is essential
for powering devices that require a steady DC voltage, such as
computers and mobile phones. Rectifiers can take various forms,
including semiconductor diodes, vacuum tube diodes, and silicon-
controlled rectifiers.

TRANSFORMER- is an electrical device that


transfers electrical energy between two or more
circuits through electromagnetic induction. It can
either increase (step-up) or decrease (step-down) the
voltage while maintaining the same frequency of the
alternating current (AC).

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB)- is a


fundamental component used in electronic devices to
mechanically support and electrically connect various
electronic components through conductive pathways.
MALE PLUG -is an electrical device characterized
by two or three protruding pins that are designed to be
inserted into a corresponding socket to establish an
electrical connection.

SWITCH is a device used to


control the flow of electricity in a
circuit, allowing it to be turned on or
off.

ALLIGATOR CLIP also known as a


crocodile clip, is a spring-loaded metal clip
characterized by its elongated, serrated jaws that
resemble the teeth of an alligator. This design
allows it to create temporary electrical
connections by clamping onto wires or terminals.
DOCUMENTATION
CONCLUSION
In this laboratory, we successfully assembled and analyzed a power supply circuit, utilizing
various electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transformers, and regulators.
Through this experiment, we observed the crucial role of each component in ensuring the power
supply delivers the correct voltage and current to an electrical load.

The rectification process performed by the rectifier efficiently converted alternating current (AC)
into direct current (DC), while the voltage regulator stabilized the output to ensure safe and
consistent performance for electronic devices. Additionally, the use of a fuse provided an
important safety measure, protecting the circuit from potential damage caused by excess current.

This practical exploration reinforced theoretical knowledge of power electronics and highlighted
the importance of precise component selection and circuit design in real-world applications. The
experiment demonstrated the significance of power supplies in modern electronic systems, which
rely on consistent and reliable power sources for optimal operation.

In this Laboratory “ Power Supply” we began with understanding its fundamental principles and
operation. We studied and examined the various safety features that protect both the power
supply and the connected circuitry, ensuring a safe and reliable operating environment. Through
our experiments, we gained valuable insights into the capabilities of the power supply and its
impact on circuit performance. We observed how precise control of voltage and current can be
used to optimize circuit operation, ensuring stability and preventing damage. We also witnessed
the effectiveness of the power supply’s safety features, preventing any unforeseen problems
during our experiments.

After making our power supply I realized When creating a power supply, safety and design
considerations are crucial. That’s why we need to Understand the Requirements,
Ensure you know the required voltage, current, and power specifications for your application.
Use Proper Components Select components that can handle the maximum expected voltage and
current. Use components with appropriate ratings for safety and reliability. Implement Protection
Features Incorporate over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit .protection to safeguard the
power supply and connected devices. Test Carefully. Test the power supply with a current-
limited power source and use appropriate measuring equipment to ensure it operates correctly
before connecting it to your final load.
Use Proper Insulation, Ensure all wiring and components are properly insulated to prevent
accidental contact and short circuits. And lastly Create a Good Grounding System, Properly
ground the power supply to avoid electric shocks and minimize interference. And sa mga hindi
dapat gawin to avoid hazard.Don’t Skip Component Ratings,
Avoid using components that are rated below the required specifications as this can lead to
failure or hazards. Don’t Neglect Safety Precautions, Never work on a power supply when it is
connected to a power source or if you’re unsure of its state.
Don’t Ignore Proper Wiring. Avoid using incorrect or poorly connected wires, which can cause
short circuits or other issues. And lastly Don’t Use Faulty Components,
Do not use damaged or defective components, as they can compromise the safety and
functionality of the power supply. And these are the lessons that I’ve experienced during creating
our first power supply and most importantly avoid being full of yourself pretending to know
everything even though its not because it will leads your groupmates in danger if you know
nothing be humble nalang po.
