Pick an output voltage number from (a) Choose the appropriate Zener Diode from the data sheet given below. Determine the ? values and the wattage ratings of R1 and RL. Determine the peak value of the transformer secondary voltage VS. Determine the transformer turns ratio n. Assume the following: Rectifier diode drop = 0.7 V for each. The DC Voltage (after smoothing by the capacitor) is equal to the peak value of the peak value of the full wave rectified pulses. The Zener voltages are the Nominal ValuesExplanation / Answer
we choose Vout = 12 V
The nominal regulated voltage of the zenner diode is 12 V. From the attached table the diode is 1N5242B.
b) from Il =20 mA it results RL = Vout/IL =12/0.02 =600 ohm
The internal resistance of the voltage source (need to be at least 10 times smaller than the resistance of the load.
R1 =RL/10 =600/10 =60 ohm
d) IR1 = IL + Izd = 20+20 =40 mA
c) the power on a resitor is P = I^2*R
P(RL) = 0.02^2*600 = 0.24 W
P(R1) =0.04^4*60 = 0.096 W
e) V(A_DC) = Vout +I1*R1 = 12 +0.04*60 = 14.4 V V
V(A_DC) = V(S) + 3V
3 V is the voltage loss on the bridge rectifiers 0.7*4 =2.8 V
V(S) = 14.4 - 3 = 11.4 V
Since V(A_DC) is equal to the peak volage of the bridge rectifier it imples that V(S) = 11.4 V is the peak value.
f) V(S) is the peak value.
The peak value for V(primary) is
V(primary) = V(RMS)*sqrt(2) =120*sqrt(2) = 169.7 V
The transformer turns ratio is
n = V(primary)/V(S) =169.7/11.4 = 14.72
