What does a voltage regulator do? (1 - Regulators)

A voltage regulator is used to stabilize DC voltages and is important for designing power supplies. Here I will introduce shunt regulators and series regulators.

The only thing better than watching professor Aaron's videos would be a student in his classes.

I'll second that

This is an interesting video with a great explanation. Thanks a lot.

Awesome ! this will be very interesting...cheers.

[@naderhumood1199]

Thank you Sir.

[@comeflywithme1694]

Thank you so much!

Is an LM7805, for example, a combination of the two types in one package?

[@andymouse]

This is a great question and I don't know, but maybe yes as they can be used as constant current supplies as well hopefully we will find out ! Merry Christmas !

if incoming power is 255v stable, would a whole house voltage regulator reduce power usage, lets say reducing it to 230v or 220v?

[@anithasshenoy6662]

almost all the regulators are rated at around 40v input and 32 to 35 v output. Only a couple are with 100 / 120 v rating and they are extremely difficult to get in retail market. Why are they made at 40v rating ? why not 100 V ? or what is the difficulty in making a 100v adjustable regulator ?

from the mains, what a ridiculous term that's the same term you all use to describe your sewer lines so which is it power or effluent
