5. CONCLUSION
5.1 Explain in detail the operation of the circuit.
The circuit was designed to convert the AC voltage input to DC voltage output using by using
a full bridge rectifier and filter capacitors. The transformer was used as a Step down
transformer because the 220 AC is too high and might damage the components, so the
voltage output between two secondary coils of the transformer were 9V AC. Next step was
the full bridge rectifier converting the positive and negative half cycle of the AC voltage and
converting it to DC rough voltage output with many ripples, eliminating the negative half
cycle. After that the capacitors were used as a filter to make the rippled output voltage into
a smooth direct current output voltage with no ripples. Voltage regulators were used as a
regulator to maintain the voltage output at a desired output voltage like indicated above as
2 5V voltage regulator so the voltage output combined is 10V regardless of the voltage input
it maintains it at 10V even though the voltage input is higher than 10V. If the voltage is
below the maximum value of the voltage regulator for example the voltage input is 9V, still
the voltage output of the regulators are 9V because it did not exceed the 10V output
voltage.
5.2 Explain in detail the effect of varying the load to the output voltage.
The effect of the varying load resistor to the voltage output was not that much, because
there is a voltage regulator regardless of the minimum resistor value as long as it is in 820
ohms and the maximum value of the resistor which is 82k ohms the voltage output is
regulated to be at 10V. There are some slight discrepancy of the value of the voltage
output.
5.3 Write your detailed conclusion.
It is very fascinating to learn and to see the wonderous process of conversion of the AC
voltage into DC voltage with the use of the full bridge rectifier, capacitors, voltage regulators
etc.

IMPORTANT POINTS IN PERFORMING THE EXPERIMENT:

4.1 Determine the turn ratio of the transformer with 220V input and 2 X 9V output. Ratio=_____
Assemble this measuring circuit.
 The initial ratio given is 0:0:0, this mean that there is no ratio given
yet. Transformer ratio means that if the input is 220V the desired
output should be 9V, how many times the output compared to the
input.

Example: The input is 220V and the output is 110V, if the ratio is
10:5:5, This mean that for every 10 turns in the primary winding, the
secondary winding has only 5 turns which is ½ of 10 the input turn
ratio, so the output voltage will be ½ of the input voltage. 10:5:5

4.2 Assemble the circuit with 1K ohm load at point (4&5) but without the filter capacitors and
regulators. (Use the turn ratio you set in step 4.1. The measurements are in step 4.3)

4.4 Complete the circuit with filter capacitors, voltage regulators, and 1K ohm load.
