Transformer + Rectifier + Smoothing + Regulator

The regulated DC output is very smooth with no ripple. It is suitable for all
electronic circuits.

POWER SUPPLY DESIGN

Power supply—A device for the conversion of available power of one set of characteristics to
meet specified requirements. Typical application of power supplies includes converting raw
input power to a controlled or stabilized voltage and/or current for the operation of electronic
equipment.

Power supplies belong to the field of power electronics, the use of electronics for
the control and conversion of electrical power. A power supply is sometimes called a power
converter and the process is called power conversion. It is also sometimes called a power
conditioner and the process is called power conditioning.
 There are many types of power supplies. Most are designed to convert high
voltage AC mains electricity to a suitable low voltage supply for electronics circuits and other
devices. A power supply can be broken down into a series of blocks, each of which performs a
particular function. The power supplies used in our project, Digital Control of Three-Phase
Induction Motor are +5V and+12V.

These power supplies can be designed by a simple circuit arrangement

consisting of bridge rectifier (here we used diodes connected in bridge arrangement called the
Diode Bridge), Capacitive or inductive filter, regulator (7812 for +12V and 7805 for +5V),
resistor and Light Emitting Diode (LED) and transformer. The purpose of each component in the
power supply design circuit shown in the schematic (drawn using Express SCH) is described
below:
