Voltage regulation
yaeh ,you are right , no need to consider dc mean value because, after smoothing(with capacitor) the wave which is the output of the rectifier,we will get only ripples which are upper part of the waveform,so obviously we will get peak voltage as the dc (constant) voltage.am i right :?:
i have already done the circuit and my load will vary from 5v(dc) to 150v(dc) ,waht type of components i have to add to my circuit, in meantime i found one solution for voltage regulation by adding ZENER diode,but i am not sure how can i add this to my circuit ,can add this after the filter circuit and do i have add any resistances in the end. :?:
