Here, we have got an input high voltage AC going into a transformer which usually steps down the high voltage AC from mains to low
voltage AC required for our application. The following bridge recti er (https://electrosome.com/bridge-recti er/) and a smoothing
capacitor to convert his AC voltage into unregulated DC voltage. But this voltage will change according to varying load and input stability.
This unregulated DC voltage is fed into a voltage regulator which will keep a constant output voltage and suppresses unregulated voltage
ripples. Now this voltage can be fed into our load. Web Controlled Se

As you can see, although the waveform can be considered to be a DC voltage since the output polarity does not invert itself, the large
ripples that exist inthe output makes sit almost impossible to be used in any powering applications.So it is to remove these ripples that
the smoothing capacitor[C1] is used. Now the output after the capacitor will be

The most important part of this circuit is the 317 variable voltage regulator. The 317 is a monolithic integrated circuit with adjustable 3-
terminal positive-voltage regulator designed to supply more than 1.5 A of load current with an output voltage adjustable over a 1.2 V to
37 V range. It also comes with internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area compensation.All this makes it a very good
candidate for a regulator if we need a moderately accurate supply with medium power output. For more details you may refer it’s data
sheet. As you can see it has three pins, Web Controlled Se

Steve, you are correct. The diodes in the bridge are backwards in the schematic. We want conventional current to flow from the

transformer to the "top end" of C1 and C2, so as to apply a positive filtered voltage to the input of the LM317. But, with the
