VOLTAGE REGULATOR FOR ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRICAL USE

Voltage Regulator Basic Definition   A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator may be a simple "feed-forward" design or may include negative feedback control loops. It may use an electro-mechanical mechanism, or electronic components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC or DC voltages.. continue.. Voltage Regulator as an Electronic Device   voltage regulator,  any electrical or electronic device that maintains the voltage of a power source within acceptable limits. The voltage regulator is needed to keep voltages within the prescribed range that can be tolerated by the electrical equipment using that voltage. Such a device is widely used in motor vehicles of all types to match the output voltage of the generator to the electrical load and to the charging requirements of the battery. Voltage regulators also are used in electronic equipment in which exces...
