The following should always be included as a standard protection device in any power supply
  • a saturating transformer
  • Correct Answer
    a fuse in the mains lead
  • a zener diode bridge limiter
  • a fuse in the filter capacitor negative lead

There should always be a fuse in the phase or active AC mains lead for protection if a fault develops in the equipment. The fuse should be of the correct rating for the task. Keep some spare fuses handy!

The output voltage of a DC power supply decreases when current is drawn from it because
  • drawing output current causes the input mains voltage to decrease
  • drawing output current causes the input mains frequency to decrease
  • Correct Answer
    all power supplies have some internal resistance
  • some power is reflected back into the mains.

Electrolytic capacitors are used in power supplies because
  • they are tuned to operate at 50 Hz
  • they have very low losses compared to other types
  • they radiate less RF noise than other types
  • Correct Answer
    they can be obtained in larger values than other types
