Power Supply Unit

Power supply unit consists of following units:

i) Step down transformer ii) Rectifier unit iii) Input filter iv) Regulator unit v) Output filter

to be continued..

STEPDOWN TRANSFORMER
The Step down Transformer is used to step down the main

supply voltage from 230V AC to lower value

RECTIFIER UNIT
The Rectifier circuit is used to convert the AC voltage

into its corresponding DC voltage

INPUT FILTER
The ripples from the DC voltage are removed

and pure DC voltage is obtained

REGULATOR UNIT
Regulator regulates the output voltage to be always

constant

OUTPUT FILTER
This filter is fixed after the Regulator circuit to

filter any of the possibly found ripples in the output received finally. Capacitors are used as filter.

SCOPE OF PROJECT & ITS ADVANTAGES

This project helps INDIAN RAILWAYS making its present

working system a better one. This project can be further extended according to situation. Entire removal of existing system not required. Control room to regulate the working of the system, thus more user friendliness. Expansion of circuit & usage in a station possible with any number of platforms. More flexible and easy maintenance. System features over manual system: 1. No time lag to operate the device. 2. More accuracy.

Bibliography
We are indebted to Mr. Bappaditya Chatterjee, our

mentor for his support and help and encouragement. All the lecturers and professors of Saroj Mohan Institute of Technology for their allowing us to experiment with the new ideas and transforming them into reality. Some websites which helps us to do our jobs are www.google.com , www.engineersgarage.com , Wikipedia etc. Books which helps us are Op-Amps and linear integrated circuits by Ramakant A.
