AC Regulation

Mar 30, 2007 12 Replies

Hello, my first topic in this group! Nice to be a part of it!



My question is regarding AC voltage regulation. I am using a 9-24V tapped transformer for a fairly expensive device that requires 9VAC @



3.5A. Is it necessary to regulate the output of the transformer for a clean power source to this device? I know its good to have DC regulated to avoid ripple, but never worked with AC power sources before.

Thanks for any advice!



Regards, Kurt.



**What is the application? In general, with properly designed equipment, AC regulation is a waste of money.

Wow, didn't know i'd get such a hostile response for my first time posting... FYI, i don't know what or who your talking about and am a genuine person seeking advice. Oh well, ill be taking my search else where then.

Thanks for your help...

While you are looking, there would not be any equipment around that needs regulated AC. Paticularly anything using a plugpack.

Dyslexia, you know. He probably meant "deceive".

.....a DEVICE running from +/- 15VDC which vibrates, titillates ?

Yes I did mean "deceive".

Misspelt it and then picked off the wrong option from my spell-checker's list, 'i' before e except after 'c'. So sue me.

My point is that Phil is wrong AGAIN.

I am not the OP and don't need to go to nearly that much effort to deceive him.
