%Question: 1
#22.1 The block marked 'Filter' in the diagram is to:
<img src = "regps.gif" align = center width = 511 height = 129>
<totallines = 13 >
filter RF radiation from the output of the power supply
smooth the rectified waveform from the rectifier
act as a 50 Hz tuned circuit
restore voltage variations
% ans 2
%Question: 2
#22.2 The block marked 'Regulator' in the diagram is to:
<img src = "regps.gif" align = center width = 511 height = 129>
<totallines = 13 >
regulate the incoming mains voltage to a constant value
ensure that the output voltage never exceeds a dangerous value
keep the incoming frequency constant at 50 Hz
keep the output voltage at a constant value
% ans 4
%Question: 3
#22.3 The block marked 'Transformer' in the diagram is to:
<img src = "regps.gif" align = center width = 511 height = 129>
<totallines = 13 >
transform the incoming mains AC voltage to a DC voltage
ensure that any RF radiation cannot get into the power supply
transform the mains AC voltage to a more convenient AC voltage
transform the mains AC waveform into a higher frequency waveform
% ans 3
%Question: 4
#22.4 The block marked 'Rectifier' in the diagram is to:
<img src = "regps.gif" align = center width = 511 height = 129>
<totallines = 13 >
turn the AC voltage from the transformer into a fluctuating DC voltage
rectify any waveform errors introduced by the transformer
turn the sinewave output of the rectifier into a square wave
smooth the DC waveform
% ans 1
%Question: 5
#22.5 The block marked 'Regulator' in the diagram could consist of:
<img src = "regps.gif" align = center width = 511 height = 129>
<totallines = 13 >
four silicon power diodes in a regulator configuration
two silicon power diodes and a centre-tapped transformer
a three-terminal regulator chip
a single silicon power diode connected as a half-wave rectifier
% ans 3
%Question: 6
#22.6 In the block marked regulator in the diagram below, a reversed diode may be present across the regulator. Its job is to
<img src = "regps.gif" align = center width = 511 height = 129>
<totallines = 15 >
Block negative voltages from appearing at the output
Blow a fuse if high voltages occur at the output
Blow a fuse if negative currents occur at the output
Bypass the regulator for higher voltage at its output compared to its input
% ans 4
%Question: 7
#22.7 A power supply is to power a solid-state transceiver. A suitable
over-voltage protection device is a:
crowbar across the regulator output
100 uF capacitor across the transformer output
fuse in parallel with the regulator output
zener diode in series with the regulator
% ans 1
%Question: 8
#22.8 In a regulated power supply, the 'crowbar' is a:
means to lever up the output voltage
circuit for testing mains fuses
last-ditch protection against failure of the regulator in the supply
convenient means to move such a heavy supply unit
% ans 3
%Question: 9
#22.9 In a regulated power supply, 'current limiting' is sometimes used to:
prevent transformer core saturation
protect the mains fuse
minimise short-circuit current passing through the regulator
eliminate earth-leakage effects
% ans 3
%Question: 10
#22.10 The purpose of a series pass transistor in a regulated power supply is
to:
suppress voltage spikes across the transformer secondary winding
work as a surge multiplier to speed up regulation
amplify output voltage errors to assist regulation
Allow for a higher current to be supplied than the regulator would otherwise allow
% ans 4
